SOUTH FLORIDA - I don't know if its the economy or something else that has caused the Shrimp Wars to escalate but its gotten worse. Bait shops are redefining the meaning of dozens, while families that used to fish live dozens together are being forced to fish with cut bait. In other words, its never been better to break out the hogleg mullet! No more bubblers and bait pails, its the return of the five gallon bucket.
Gil came all the way from Paris, France to catch a Tarpon and was surprised to learn that we use bait the size of baguettes. Thats how we roll. Get it? Well Gil got it good, he cause a tarpon just under the 100lb mark, and lost another one well over 120lbs after about a 30 minute tussle on 20lb gear. The night wasn't over yet. after moving spots to avoid the miserable shrimpers Gil got this bonus snook. All in all a remarkable trip for a guy that flew all the way to Miami from Paris to fish with Captain Jeff.
