I have a brother that lives in Florida. I fish with him when the airline rates are good. He primarily hits Homosassa, Yankee Town, Cedar Keys area, just north of Tampa. On one trip we took little break from fishing and picked up lunch at one of the riverside restaurants.

Congregated by the shore where a group of people feeding what I thought where ducks. After lunch we took a walk over. to our suprise they where tarpon. It was incredible! 60-150 pound surfacing for bread.
We talked to one of the waiters, who also loved fishing. He explained that they, the locals had developed a (bread fly).
Shameless!! I only wish that I had my tying gear….
