Bones on a fly are kick arse. I've only been once (with my son actually fishing, I just followed him and the guide.). If you like to fly fish, a trip for bones is worth it.

Big trout 30" and up on a flat are as spooky & wary as any bonefish or permit......especially fly fishing for them. It really is awesome sport. When a bonefish from 6-13 pounds takes your fly or small artificial in shallow water you'll understand the thrill for sure.
With the exception of YFT, Wahoo, Cobia really don't like to freeze fish to eat later fresh is so much better.
Keeping fifty specks to freeze for later just doesn't do it for me anymore personally.....not a thing wrong with I'd just rather have fresh. Plus the limit here in Florida is no more than 6 per day with 15"minimum and only one over 20" Redfish 2 per day Not less than 18" no more than 27" total length

Man I take the opposite tack with Tuna. I eat as much fresh as possible and give away most of the rest. Whatever I freeze I try to eat within a month or two max. Snapper, grouper and jacks taste delicious even after 9mo in a freezer. Assuming the vacuum bag doesn't get a hole in it.

You talking amberjack I'm guessing......If you haven't tried small 5-8# jack crevalle on the grill it's freaking great.
Never would have believed until a friend of mine was doing a show down in the Keys with Andrew Zimmern while I was down in Islamorada(yes Bizarre Foods
) He caught a jack & insisted on keeping it, when they got back Zimmern cleaned it & threw it on grill...I was surprised as hell at how good it was. Youtube Video LINK scroll till 21:50 and let it play

I agree. I've noticed frozen YFT is kinda useless by 6 months. I just eat what I can and give it to people.

I've had days where I did not make single cast. It's no better or worse, it's just different.
I had one of those Saturday.
I was on the deck getting my rods together to kayak for reds when my neighbor asks me to go hunt tarpon with him. This guy is a 2 time GI tarpon rodeo champion, so I said "hell yeah". We rode Lake P, The Chef, the holes along the southshore and saw nothing. It was a successful boat ride but we did not cast once. He commented as we rode past all the boats lined up by The Trestles that he could never sit and fish for specs like that. I'm kinda the opposite, I'd rather catch dinner.

it's like archery. method fishing.

Tarpon fishing in LA is boring unless you have a lot of fish schooling. Wring time of the year for it also. Plus you were fishing in an area with a low chance to see any to start with. On a calm day south of the mouth of the river, you stand a good chance at seeing and marking schools of fish. That'll get you excited.

It's cause oil doesn't freeze in a freezer. Tuna are very oily.
Frozen tuna recipe (not more than a month frozen) - defrost and cut into cubes when they are still semi-frozen, batter and fry. It's like eating raw fried tuna, yum. I prefer raw and not fried, but it's something different to try.
Another good one is semi raw tuna, cubed, thrown in a small pot pie dish with pie crust, with ranch dressing, bacon bits and fried onions on top. Cook in the oven on 3 fifty for 15 minutes.

It's been a few years but for a long time I was consumed with the idea of landing a tarpon on the fly in the lake. I did a lot of research and spent a lot of money buying people drinks to try and lube them up for information. I need to get back on it, I think it can be done.

Tarpon were spotted in the lake last month, if I recall correctly.

Want to do similar at the mouth of the river near Port Eads in August/September.

Yes, from The Global Flyfisher. Get an Alabama fan to read it to you if you can't.
