Most days, Joey Diaz gets off work at Mid Florida Air Conditioning at about 4 p.m. and heads to Sebastian Inlet for an evening of fishing diversion.
Usually within 24 hours, Tony calls or stops by with his trophies or pictures. His success rate is attributable to many factors. A year or two ago, Diaz spent two weeks just watching, not fishing, and talking to the many veterans of the area. His research led him to some excellent holes, some unique knowledge about tides and seasons, and even some casting and baiting techniques.
Recently, after an all-night fish fest, he pulled up an 80-pound tarpon, lucky enough to fight it to the beach area without a netting partner -- something he feels is essential on the rocky jetties. And he pulled in some redfish that were 40 inches and longer, all pre-snook season, which reopened Feb. 1.
