First have to say no pics ( no camera ).

Got up early yesterday made one throw with the bait net caught all the bait I needed ( I thought ) and headed out for a morning of fishing. Got to my spot put on a small mullet and no sooner it got to the bottom 9 1/2 feet a large flounder in the boat. During the course of the morning caught 10 really nice flounder, hookedabout a 10 to 12 lb Tarpon got one jump out of him before throwing the hook ( my first time ever )with a Tarponand gosh knows had my line broke so many times it was not funny .Was using some light gear so I could not tackle what ever was hitting my bait but figure it was some nice size grouper . So if anyone catches one with a small owner hook in there jaw it is mine. I maybe left a dozen or so hooks out there. Anyway got back to the dock before 12:00 noon got the fish cleaned, made a couple of trips to the store,had Jimmy Sherhouse and his wife Patty over for a fish fry as he helped cleaned the fish. Naturally we all ate too much & had a few adult beverages . Wanted todo itagain this morning but could not get up early enough. What a great time I had on the water yesterday .
