WHAT GUESTS WERE CATCHING:

BONEFISH (Macabi): A lovely week. Light winds most days and lots of hungry fish even some big fish around. Peter caught a 26" bonefish which is a super nice fish for these parts. The bonefish responded to the calmer weather and are feeding heavily. A little rain overnight always helps to cool things down and brings us some pleasant mornings and active bones.

PERMIT (Palometta): Several permit hooked this week, but as is often the case, not as many landed. As experienced anglers know, permit don't come easy! However, Mike beat the odds and managed to get one to the boat. It's only a matter of time until your permit hunting finally pays off. Keep at it and enjoy the hunt.

TARPON (Sabalo): Great two weeks of tarpon fishing for the boys from Germany. They all joined in the fun and landed several large tarpon each after early morning starts. Joseph and Barry also landed some nice ones with several other folks jumping a few.

OTHER SPECIES: Jacks, needlefish, barracuda, snapper, ladyfish, squirrelfish and a host of others our fly and spin fishing anglers found.

GRAND SLAM: Alas, no Grand Slams this week.

FLIES THAT WORKED

FOR BONEFISH - Always Christmas Island Specials, Mantis shrimp in tan, and Gotchas.

This Week's Summary:

Fish On!
