168 THE TARPON 



While both places have good boatmen or guides, as they are 

 called here, Useppa has the advantage in being about equi- 

 distant between Boca Grande and Captiva Passes, each Pass 

 requiring about a forty-minute trip. 



This chapter is not written for the angler who knows all 

 about tarpon fishing, but for those who, like myself, are seek- 

 ing a better way both to enjoy the sport and to conserve the 

 released fish.
