Took a long weekend with the wife a few weeks back to Marathon to visit some friends and get a real taste of saltwater fly fishing. Wind kept us from fishing the majority of the trip, but we felt really blessed with the 2 days worth of fishing that we got. We were really hoping for some tarpon and managed to hook 3 and land 1, along with many good-sized jacks (up to 9 lbs) and barracudas. After growing up in Ohio and Oklahoma respectively, our minds were blown with the saltwater fly fishing. For example, the day we fished at the 7-mile bridge, there was about a 2-hr window where everything seemed to be happening at once -- schools of jacks lined up behind a school of tarpon off the bow, huge sea turtles surfacing off the stern, sharks off the starboard side -- our heads were on a swivel! It. was. awesome.
On our way back to Miami, we stopped by Robbie's Marina in Islamorada to get our adrenaline pumping and some close-up shots of tarpon feeding. Definitely recommend that pit stop for those that haven't been.
