Not to take away from the beautiful ladies, but Boca Grande's tarpon are in trouble. Fishing has been declining for the past 12 years or so. This season the legendary "Hill Tide" that many of fishing articles have been written about never happened. I was born and raised in Boca Grande with a father who was a full time tarpon guide for over 25 years in the pass. The tarpon need help, hey need to be better regulated, but we need scientific data to get those things. As of right now in the tarpon science department we don't know very much at all. All anglers need to support their local tarpon reasearch center by reporting your catch.
Looks to me that Boca Grande is one sweet tarpon spot.
what are they supposed to be wearing? Sweaters and snow pants?
If you don't like it or if you think it is redundant don't read it or look at it. Simple as that. It's not like they are being overly provocative or anything. They are just out having a good time and enjoying being comfortable at the same time. In my opinion, Fishing and Swimsuits can go hand in hand. I know I like to be comfortable when I'm out on the water. Some people like to work on their tan when they are out fishing. Big deal. Its a free country, lets leave it that way. This is a good set of pictures of some ladies getting out and enjoying the outdoors. Lets stop getting nervous every time we see a little skin.

To bad the photografter lens were limited,a few more real close-up shot would of been nice,thats why Dr Julie's shots are so impressive!!
two on one angling in bikinis! How about just fishing w/o the bikini stuff. all guys like a pretty girl but this is sort getting to be a little redundant.
I think I may have settled down to fast. I should have went to Boca Grand and looked for a wife.
These tournaments can get insane....especially when a big hammerhead gets into the mix.
Not that I'm complaining about the photos that were included, but this 'fishing' article seems a bit short on actual fish pictures.
