snagged in outlet 3 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 While I'm catching Mike asks if I care if Graffa fishes too and I say heck no have at it. Graffa is onto a fish within a minute or so and he's grinning like it's his first fish. As quickly as they appeared they disappeared and Mike made me an offer. We could stop back by and try and get a tarpon but that meant him dropping me off at the ferry pier instead of the marina to get a taxi back. I agreed and this time the first tarpon I see chases down the fly and inhales it. He keeps coming toward me and I never do the hook in it and the fly pops out. Graffa is grinning and saying something but I don't understand. Mike tells me he's saying "you got to stab them!" We start heading back out and the tide is coming back in making it difficult. We get out into the ocean again and Mike says it will be really rough and it was. We actually almost ran over a snorkeler that so far out from shore I couldn't believe it. He would be down in the bottom of the swell and we couldn't see him at all. Mike didn't tell me that dropping me off at the ferry meant dropping me in chest deep water. I jump off the front of the boat holding my backpack over my head and scramble to the beach. Now with wet sandals and sand stuck all over them I get in the last row and start the trip back. In all I was gone 11.5 hours to fish for 5 but it's worth it.
