Week In Review
The wind has returned but has been refreshing. We are getting our normal tradewinds, making the days feel cooler. It has created enough chop on the water, making it tougher to run across open water, but most of our fishery is still easily accessed. Fishing has remained excellent, the only negative being too few big Tarpon. Skies have seen a few clouds, but we still had a lot of sun. Some really good Permit have been caught this week. Lots of Tarpon have been hooked and jumped, which is common when Tarpon fishing. Bonefish have been plentiful and grabby when we looked for them.
