Tarpon, Tarpon and more Tarpon!

During the month of September we have had very calm seas and lots and lots of Big Tarpon!
The Ensley group from Kansas City did really well, with Jerry Likely (nicknamed-"the meatman") took the top place with over 60 Tarpon boated in a week, and he was fishing by himself. Paul Murphy, also of Kansas city ,caught lots of Tarpon, some nice Snook, Mutton Snapper, Tripletail and a big King Mackerel! All the anglers got tired of catching Tarpon.

Not to be out done, the Carl Smith Group from the Dallas Fort Worth area caught numerous big Tarpon too. Jonathan Alfred of this group was strictly fly fishing and managed to subdue a big Tarpon on the fly and 50+ Mojarras on the fly for a very special birthday celebration.

Perhaps the best morning fishing goes to Mr. Carl Hermann of the Chicago and his fishing partner Walter Cook, of Mississippi, for boating 12 Tarpon on their first morning here in only 2 hrs. of fishing They were sure two tired and very happy fishermen at lunchtime!

The weather continues to be good and fishing is GREAT! Grab your rod and reel and come on down to see us! By the way airfares are dropping! Some of our clients are getting airfares lower than we have seen them in over 10 years!


October 2009 Fishing Report

October fishing had a few ups and downs but the first week of October had some really great days with Bill and Patti Flikeid of Minneapolis St. Paul MN having their personal best day of fishing ever here at Rio Parismina with over 14 fish in the a.m. and 8 in the afternoon. All the other boats had good mornings and afternoons but none as good as the Flikieds. We had two days of rough seas during this week but the seas calmed down and the bite was on!! More and more big Tarpon were being caught. The biggest for the first two weeks was estimated at 150 lbs.

Paul Gerlach from Washington D.C. managed to jump a bunch of Tarpon on Saturday with his "Top Water Yo-zuri Sahimi Dorado Bull" He jumped 13 Tarpon the morning of the 17th of October and boated his personal best Tarpon of over 120 lbs on top water action,

Ron Grimm and Dave Sheffield of Buffalo NY had a slow start that week with broken lines and lost fish, but they managed to finish out their trip strongly towards the later part of the week and are already booked for 2010!
