    Fun fact about Bill Dance- He was actually accepted into/enrolled in medical school at the University of Tennessee. One night driving home from class he happened upon a horrible motorcycle accident on a lonesome highway. He was unable to save the dying man. He said in that moment he decided he'd rather just go fishing. So, he dropped out of med school and did just that.

    I remember as a boy visiting South Florida, how excited and awed I felt walking up to a Mangrove shoreline, getting to peer within, knowing that there were innumerable fascinating creatures that I might encounter. And you can do this anytime at your wonderful little backyard cove, which I assume is directly connected to the entire ocean system.

Anyway I was @ a resort that had a lagoon with hundreds of tarpon that I saltwater flyfished into it was crazy!!!! so much fun!!! They have a jaw that is very hard to hook into but that was the fun part u would fool them into biting then they would jump loads of time then the fly would come flying back @ u as they had throw the hook SO MUCH FUN!!!

    That is so crazy seeing tarpon that close in a out canal for residents. I guess as you said they are probably relatively young/juveniles, I would take that as a good sign that there's a healthy fish population that are potentially thriving off of. Thats awesome.

    Nice back yard....I chased tarpon from Jupiter , down through
    Miami, all of the keys and around the horn to Hommassa...in my thirties.
    Thankfully I got over
    My obsession. Hooking one is called jumping a tarpon....
    And most importantly, when they jump you have to bow to the fish, that is slack the line some or they will spit the hoo, or fall on the leader and break you off.

    You're so very very lucky sir Aaron, because you're sorrounded by the beautiful waterway canal through the mangroves forest.
    Here in my place mangroves were dying because of the careless boat passing through them, even if they're still young. So they doesnt grow taller than 5 feet. In fact they were all dying. Unlike the place where you are staying. Mangroves were growing old and useful.
