David and Cheri Howard's Sailing Stories

Mark, my business partner, and I came down to the boat, not to sail, but to go fishing. We came down late Tuesday after work and got up early on Wednesday morning to head to Jekyll Island to meet our guide, Captain Scott Owens. We headed out early to the flats around the Jekyll Island bridge. We try to fly fish only so it is always a challenge but fun. We caught some red’s and then headed to some different areas around Little Cumberland to hunt for Tarpon. The Tarpon were tailing but, as much as we tried, we could not hit any. We headed out to sea to the Windward side of Cumberland and saw a lot of bait fish being chased by the tailing Tarpon but we just could not get any to bite. We then headed up Christmas Creek and saw the beauty of Cumberland from a perspective I had not yet seen. We then came and drove back to the boat and went to grab something to eat for dinner. We sat out in the cockpit, had some cocktails, and enjoyed the sunset. We crashed in bed and then woke up and headed back to the office. We got back by 2PM. We had a great time.
