Tibor Gulfstream

Tibor Gulfstream

He was fishing with my guide - William. We start with the specific intention of catching a shad. The first hour was devoted cane over a wider area, but no luck. William decided that we were going to their secret place. This is an area on the tip of a long beach. We found some very large snapper and permit, but can not get the shot, medium-sized tarpon hooked me. The fish jumped a couple of times, then threw the hook. At this point, the waves so it is difficult stand in the boat, we decided to make a gesture.

A few miles from the coast, we were the floor area is very close to the edge of reef. We polarity along about 50 feet from the edge inside the reef. There were many coral heads, while some blind snapper molds were made, giving the continuation of a snapper cubera general turned back at the last minute. However, about 200yards away we could see a black hole about 50 feet wide with the passage of fish in it. As He approached the hole, you could see they were shad about 20 - 40 pounds, and the school had about 30 fish in it. First Issue in front of the school led to a connection, the fish jumping out of water and throw the hook. I continued to undress and another fish took the fly, this time by pulling the hook after three jumps.

A "good God! Â" I said ... or words to that effect. Meanwhile, the boat drifted farther beyond the hole and realized that there was no license again. Polarity William lowest level and when he thought it was prudent to do so, start the engine and returned to another drift. William has been excellent, and began again within 150 feet of the hole ... fish were still there. The first coupled model and landed a fish around 25 pounds or less.

I worked with a sage xi2 Sage 11wt with tropical fly line on a reel of Charlton. I dropped Tibor Gulfstream during a customs check at the airport so I used my backup reel. Charlton is really a fantastic product and I drag too much. I checked with my Boga Grip and only 10 pounds, but looks much more for me. I used 40 Leader Tippet book with 80 pounds of shock. I decided to fish down and dirty to me shad given no chance. Tip of the stem in water, they all came very quickly. After launching the first time I saw swimming Shad large fish about 20 feet. I have not even had time to put my cap again before taking another model.

I love use of flies tied Tarpon strips of rabbit and walk slowly strips for a fly to short pulses in water. This fish came slowly on the fly and went be missed ... then lost again! This happened five or six times before he was in his mouth. Only a few seconds, but it was as a life. It's like if you stop breathing and heart stops beating.

The fish swam and then had the opportunity to hook a good position to hit Gaza hard. I think fishing for shad, if the fish jumps very quickly that you can not get a good hook set. However, and there was no way they lose. Using good old tactics down and dirty I had the fish to the boat in 10 minutes. After landing, we measured and carefully picked up and released. When we returned to the hostel was calculated at about 65 pounds. I thought I was a little larger, but after all I am a fisherman ....
