In March he will likely head to fish the saltwater flats in Florida for bonefish and tarpon and perhaps permit (a species of fish that has thus far eluded his hook).
His fishing methods were different: he used aluminium beer barrels as floats because wooden ones would break up in a minute, and rather than harpoons, with their stainless-steel darts that folded back and slipped right out of the fish, he preferred hand-held gaffs with a three-inch hook that went in and stayed there.
