WHAT GUESTS WERE CATCHING:

BONEFISH (Macabi): Thank you to Jose D., the most recent Orvis group host, and all of the other fun anglers that have joined us over the last week. It has been our pleasure to host all of these great fisherman and friendly people. The fishery has also been producing lots of fun with bonefish abounding. No day goes by without a bonefish being landed and a smiling angler being handed the joy of the tug.

PERMIT (Palometta): BJ and his gang got after it and caught everything from Snook to permit. While on the flats searching for the elusive Permit, anglers are enjoying the cool experience of casting to Jacks (the poor man's permit) and Barracuda to keep the rod warm while waiting for the Permit to show up. Not many things are better than catching a permit; but if you haven't experienced the tug of a Cuda or Jack on the fly you need to give it a try. SUPER FUN!!

TARPON (Sabalo): The tarpon bite has really been productive over the past several weeks. Anglers are getting multiple shots on the flats and in the lagoon. Be sure to ask Isa or Mariano to give you directions to the secret tarpon hole in the back lagoon or take a trip up North and experience some awesome wading where the reef meets the island. Extremely beautiful place to see!

OTHER SPECIES: Mayan Cichlid, Snapper, Jacks, Barracuda, and Needlefish.

GRAND SLAM: None this week.
