Week In Review
This week, a cold front swept across the island, bringing rain and heavy cloud cover that made fish-spotting on the flats challenging. Despite the weather, our expert guides still delivered incredible fishing experiences for our anglers. The highlights of the week included 4 Permit and 7 juvenile Tarpon ranging from 20 to 50 pounds, along with plenty of Bonefish on the flats. Anglers also landed a variety of other species, including Snapper, Jacks, Barracuda, and more. Even with the tough conditions, the excitement on the water never let up—kudos to our talented guides and determined anglers!
