So far, 2023 has been pretty good. The weather has been fairly cooperative, the temps got up and some tarpon were here in Feb, now it’s March and the winds are blowing some but we’ve still been able to fish…

Last week Hurricane Ian came to town. Marco Island dodged a bullet, but the folks north of us, unfortunately, did not. I believe Marco suffered more from wind during Irma, in 2017, than this time, although there are some reports…
