Goold: Things get reel interesting going fishing with Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas

HOBE SOUND, Fla. — As he angles the boat named Snap Dragon toward this pocket of possibility, just up the intracoastal along Jupiter Island, Miles Mikolas reads the current to find a crease in it. His goal is to get just far enough away from a bridge so that he can cast lines just close enough to where he thinks there might be treasure.

“It’s fishy out here,” he says.

He means it as a compliment.

“I got jig heads ready right here,” Mikolas announces. “Get that box of hooks out?”
