Week In Review

Excellent weather continues, with our anglers finding success on medium to large Tarpon and Permit. The bonefishing was excellent. We have had calm winds in the morning and a nice breeze in the afternoon. Our good friend from Montana, John Way, arrived at the end of the week with a group of anglers, and they had an excellent start to their fishing. Marc had a Grand Slam this week on his first day!

Addiel Perez from Bonefish and Tarpon Trust visited and fished with us this week. We measured and took samples from several Tarpon for research during his stay. BTT is an influential advocate for our fishery and many others, and we appreciate Addiell’s daily effort on behalf of BTT.

We look forward to seeing him again soon.
