Week In Review

This week brought challenging conditions with persistent east-northeast winds at 15–20 knots and plenty of rain. Despite the tough weather, our skilled guides put anglers on fish, leading to some solid catches. Plenty of Bonefish were landed, and while a few Tarpon were jumped, only one made it to the boat. Anglers had better luck with Permit, landing several while also losing a few in the fight. In addition, some impressive Jack Crevalle, Barracuda, and Snapper were brought to hand.
