Hi all,
every year we go to Antigua I hook up with a local fishing guide and guest house owner and hit the water. I met him as a paying customer but after that initial meeting we became instant friends and now we just fish together, sharing spots and info. Great to have Nick as a friend, he selflessly takes time out from his busiest season to take me out using his equipment, I make sure I bring him a few hard to come by goodies. We have a bit of an ongoing joke that we always seem to do better when not fishing together, and it was looking that way after many frustrating hours of sight fishing Tarpon, we saw lots and got them to chase but could not hook them before they got spooked. We were going home when I decided to just flip my line over the back as we puttered along back to the landing when WHAM!...fish ON!
