WHAT GUESTS WERE CATCHING:

BONEFISH (Macabi): Very enjoyable week with a lot of great fishing. Sarah and Seth were the hosts of this week's Orvis group. Lots of bonefish and plenty of laughter as we all had a wonderful time getting to know one another. Family and friends are what lodge life is all about; and everyone walked away with new friends and big smiles. Always a treat seeing new faces!

PERMIT (Palometta): The permit fishing is very active these days and all the anglers are getting daily chances. Some of our lucky anglers landed permit on their way to grand slams. It never ceases to amaze me when that beginning angler lands a permit, while others try for years before the keepers of the permit let them in.

TARPON (Sabalo): Tarpon galore, around this week. Anglers were seeing multiple schools and getting lots of chances to connect. The early bird gets the worm and our tarpon anglers are always rising early to catch the morning rollers. Hunter, Rick, Stephen, Tim and Kevin managed to land tarpon.

OTHER SPECIES: Barracuda, snapper, ladyfish, and some jacks

GRAND SLAM: Congratulations to David and Gary on their GRAND SLAMS!
