After what turned out to be a great day with a pretty permit, Ash could tell right off that I wanted another day on the water. She's used to the 'fish-highs', and after a brief chat with Kachu we were set for another day on the water, including Ash, on Thanksgiving none the less. Fitting.
The weather all week had been in and out, and if there's one thing that kills you on the flats, it's clouds, then wind. Unfortunately we battled both all day, and getting back to the tarpon flats was out of the question. Good guides always know how to make the most of bad weather days, and we still had a great day going after some tricky bones in the mangroves. Ash got into a few also, making it look easy.
I had heard of some beach-accessible flats all week, and not ready to give it a rest just yet, I headed out right before dinner and found some eager ones. Two days of seeing backing ain't so bad.
Believe it or not, that night we had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, and enjoyed our last night of what was a great and proper honeymoon. I could get really used to holidays somewhere with warm air and clear water.
Thanks to Steve, Chris, Lori-Ann, Kachu, Marlin and Antonio, and everybody at El Pescador for a great week. Thanks to Jason for all the intel. We made a lot of friends and hope to get back some day.
There's still some tarpon there I need to tangle with.
Happy Holidays, indeed.
