Week In Review

Conditions have improved significantly during the past week, and our normal lovely days of very low winds and bright sunny days are back.    Water clarity has been ideal on the flats. Large migrating Permit are being targeted and caught in the deeper channels, and Tarpon are being found on coastline flats to the north. Small Tarpon and Snook continue to be found in and around mangrove growth along the sargasso grass lines.
