Week In Review

This was a much quieter week in the lodge with fewer anglers, but nevertheless, good results were enjoyed. We had 3 “trip slams” with John C, Dan C, and Bob B catching all three species. The highlight of the week was a magnificent 100 Lb. Tarpon was landed by John C fishing with Capt Cesar.
