WHAT GUESTS WERE CATCHING:

BONEFISH (Macabi): The winds haven't let up the entire week. Some bonefish caught but with the strong winds, it's been difficult. The most successful anglers have been using bait. The fish are still hungry and are eager to get on the flats to feed. Winds will be calming down this coming week and the anglers will certainly reap the rewards. Looking forward to some great fishing!

PERMIT (Palometta): All the species are ready and willing to feed. John, who is a long time saltwater angler and a repeat guest is still after his first Permit. On Saturday, he told me he saw hundreds of Permit but could not get them to eat his fly. The anglers and the fish are waiting for the winds to settle down so the fish can start feeding and the anglers can start catching. There seems to be a line drawn in the sand and it's called "wind". It's just a matter of time before we can cross it.

TARPON (Sabalo): A few Tarpon caught this week using both fly and spin gear. Tim, Nick, Christy, Paul and Joe had a great day of fishing and landed nice Tarpon and a host of other species. Joe almost made it a super slam only missing the Permit. Christy missed the Snook but got her grand slam. The migratory Tarpon are moving in and so are the Tarpon anglers. Busy week ahead and a nice forecast for the week as well. Can't wait��.

OTHER SPECIES: Plenty of snapper, barracuda, and ladyfish.

GRAND SLAM: Congratulations to Christy G on her Grand Slam!

FLIES THAT WORKED
