He loves chasing fish into water they drag their bellies its so skinny! *Sight-fishing:* This is Captain TJ's absolute favorite kind of fishing, stalking flats in search of Redfish, Tarpon, Trout (and the occasional Cobia). The goal is to see the fish in enough time and make an accurate cast with a fly.
