The last couple of days has been great fun with a party of four anglers from Rodney’s home town, as you saw a huge Grouper and then we went on to catch several Sharks including a 180lb Lemon Shark from in the bay.

Today we sped off down to Bahia Honda bridges in search of a day time Tarpon but despite seeing loads of rolling fish and there being a huge amount of weed going through the bridges we failed to hook up (as did all the boats there) and with an increasing easterly wind we headed back to the shelter of some banks, after some fairly tough fishing Ian landed a stunning Cuda of 23 pounds and boy did that fish fight.

Earlier this week I was on the banks of the river Frome, the Mayfly hatches were stunning including the great falls of spinner in the evenings, stunning fishing despite the desperately low water levels!

But I have to say the icing on the cake has to be our new Dairy House Fishery, totally 100% wild fishing and already we have had wild Brown Trout to nearly three pounds and a handful of slightly early Grayling the largest was weighed at a staggering 4lb 2oz (all catch and release) check out are Chalkstream page and get booked in for a day…..http://www.riverworks.co.uk/?page_id=1629/

The other extreme is that I arrived in the Florida Keys yesterday for a few weeks Guiding for My friend Rodney who owns www.fishthedream.co.uk

The weather is stunning, and we started off today fishing in the Gulf after large Grouper….The largest was around the 250 pound mark, again all these fish are released, and tomorrow is another day…….
