WHAT GUESTS WERE CATCHING:

BONEFISH (Macabi): Great week for bonefishing as all anglers were successful. The winds remained moderate to strong during the beginning of the week but quieted down toward the end. The temperature of the water is on the rise, so some of the larger bones have moved into deeper water, but a few larger fish are still around. Lots of fish were eating well as the weather settles.

PERMIT (Palometta): Tons of permit around this week and quite a few landed. Gary, Randy, Kim, Mark, Justin, John, Tom and Mike all caught the elusive fish this week, and Gary even turned it into a Grand Slam to end his week of fishing. Great job guys!

TARPON (Sabalo): Captain Tomas and his angler have jumped thirteen Tarpon and landed four so far, and Vic is still fishing this week so who knows how they will end up. The week was filled with catches. Mike also jumped three and landed one. Cam, our youngest angler at fourteen years old, got his first Tarpon and Bonefish and made his first trip to El Pescador a memorable one for him and his dad.

OTHER SPECIES: Ladyfish, puffer, barracuda, needlefish, snapper, and jacks.

GRAND SLAM: Congratulations to Gary D. for his Grand Slam this week.
