Tarpon In A Downpour

Fishing in the rain is never fun but it's tolerable when it's 80 degrees and the tarpon are biting. This is angler Bill Bruett from New Jersey with a nice fifteen pounder caught on fly on the north shore of Vieques. The rain was really coming down when Bill hooked this fish, but the lack of visiblilty isn't much of a factor with tarpon fishing down here. Most of our tarpon like to hang out in the deeper lagoons where the water is muddy and the bait are thick. So on a day when chasing bonefish would be impossible, catching a nice silver king is always a possibility here on Vieques.
