FISHING REPORT

Weeks of January 28th - Feb 5th, 2017

Weather Conditions: Clear and beautiful most of the week, a bit windy.

Winds: 10-20 mph out of East, North and Northeast, different every day

Air Temperature: 80 to 86 degrees with lows between 70 and 78 degrees.

Water Temperature: Temp: 79 F. degrees

Sunrise: 6:22 am Sunset: 5:52 pm

Moonphase: The last quarter moon was on Feb 3rd.

WHAT GUESTS WERE CATCHING:

BONEFISH (Macabi): Bone fish remained very cooperative despite the windy weather. With just a few boats going out each day the reports were consistent� find a mud (a group of feeding bonefish in deeper water) and you can catch 20, or stalk the shallows and catch just a few. Many of the guests that went out were first time flats fishers and they all succeeded with multiple bonefish. We are located far enough south that chilly weather from the north never shuts down the flats, making us a year-round fishery especially when compared to Florida, Cuba or the Bahamas.

PERMIT (Palometta): Nick's first saltwater experience was made even better when he landed a permit on the second cast of his first day! Steve and Scott also landed permit, with Steve landing three in one day!

TARPON (Sabalo): Nate, Nick and Max all landed tarpon this week. Max struck his on the first cast. Christine hooked two, but they just weren't ready for a photo!

OTHER SPECIES: Though Christine's tarpon weren't ready for their photo, she did land two snook! Congratulations Christine

GRAND SLAM: No Grand Slams this week.
