Interview #281: Robert Jordan’s Blog: A FINAL CHECK-IN BEFORE MAYO, Entry #5

Robert Jordan

For Kristin, who wanted to know what sort of fish I fish for, it depends on the time of year and what’s biting, really. We can go off-shore and fish for blue marlin, sailfish, king mackerel, dolphin, swordfish, albacore, and several kinds of tuna, including occasionally one of the giant blues, or stay inshore and go after tarpon, redfish, jack crevalle, or sea trout (weakfish, technically, not steelhead) and if nothing else is biting, ladyfish, which is called the poor man’s tarpon. They are fairly small—I think the world record is around five pounds—but they make spectacular leaps and runs and are very good sport on ultralight tackle. There are many other inshore fish, of course, ranging from croaker to hammerheads, but I don’t fish for them, just as I don’t fish for barracuda. They’re something you catch by accident.
