Week In Review

Fishing was excellent again this week, despite all but two days being very windy. Our run on Permit continued, with a total of 21 fish landed. Capt. Gordy managed a haul of 9 fish on one day!

Tarpon were around in the South and a number of good fish were lost. We are holding thumbs that the big fish will arrive soon. Trevor G (13 years old) had a fish of 80 Lbs. with Capt. Cesar.
