Week In Review

A cold front bringing clouds and winds early in the week made sight casting more difficult than the previous weeks. It was our pleasure to host the first Orvis Bonefish Bonanza of the year.

What Guests were Catching

Bonefish

Bonefish were caught in shallow water when conditions were good for sight casting, and the deeper bite in 2-4 feet of water kept the action going when it was cloudy or windy.


Permit

Mark, Doug, and Nick all took home angler award pins for landing the always tricky to catch permit on a fly rod.


Tarpon

Tarpon were tougher to catch this week due to wind and clouds, but several anglers got the opportunity to hook and jump the Silver King.


Other Species

Snapper, jacks, barracuda, Spanish mackerel.
