Fabulous to have Paul on my boat as he was an enjoyable skilled fly angler which allowed him to catch and release a nice tarpon, a redfish and a gorgeous snook all on the same day qualifying as a Backcountry Slam which is an envied accomplishment for every fly angler!

What a fun active day on the water with Richard and his 18-yr old son Connor celebrating his high school graduation. They got to target 10 tarpon and set the hook on 3 to bring them successfully to the boat for exciting photo ops and releases.  They also caught a snook and a redfish to complete the day with a BACKCOUNRY SLAM sight-fishing on the flats

Boy, didn’t see less than 5 stars coming as it was a successful treat having Rich and his H.S. graduation-gifted son Boden on board my newest prize skiff for an authentic angling fishing trip into the skinniest backcountty as they were in fish all day per my plan and skiff capabilities and as can be seen by rhe happy smiling photos Dad Rich showed off his angling experience and skills and better ability to adapt. They were experienced bass anglers on small bodies of water and had to acclimate and adjust their methods for our large sportfish which was easier for experienced Dad Rich who caught 2 out of 10 tarpon (our famed trophy sportfish), lots of snook getting two to the boat with plenty of shots sight-fishing for our fat redfish.  Son Boden, whom I’m guessing is responsible for the 4-stars having caught little has to get some experience under his belt but should have at least learned why they call it fishing and not catching as he had difficulty learning how to set the hook on his biting sportfish. Much different than for Bass.)  It was a really GREAT day in my book!

It is so wonderful when I guide anglers that are serous about catching fish and understand they should put in the time to practice their techniques and/or invest in quality equipment and Scott did both, getting out as soon as the snow melted in Pennsylvania so he could throw the fly on his new rod and reel to be ready for the challenge when he went for the real thing on the saltwater.  And it all paid off with a photo as proof.  Kudos to Scott!!

For the conditions,  John sure made the best of it - a true sportsman and a pleasure to have on the boat.
