Captain Miller is a Space Coast native and has been fishing the IRL for as long as he can remember. He says that all his life he has been drawn to the water and one of his earliest memories is fishing with his dad. He says “fly fishing is a weird obsession of trying to trick fish with a pea sized brain to eat chicken feathers on a hook”. Captain Miller will talk about this year’s tarpon season. Fly fishing for tarpon is his personal obsession. Come and hear what is sure to be an interesting presentation.
