Tough conditions made fishing up on the flats anything but ideal. We started the morning in a light drizzle with the fly rod, casting at some rolling tarpon. After hooking one, we moved on to some redfish and snook. After a few snook swung and miss, a monster redfish blew up Marcel’s top water plug.…
