Trip Summary

I had Ron Johnson (AKA Pops) on the boat today. I wanted to get him out for some exercise! And did he get it! Our goal was to jump as many Tarpon as possible before sunset but things didn't go as planned. What an afternoon of fishing! Cobia and Gag Grouper when in-search for the Silver King! Not bad, as my buddy Paul would say! Book your trip today. No telling what we will catch next! It's always an Adventure when you are fishing aboard Cadillac Style!

So was had to put it on them as well. What a great day of fishing! Carter was late and caught heck from his girl. It seemed worth it to me!
