Week in Review:

The island was a great place to be this week! Winds were up a little, but it made for very comfortable weather to be on the water. Fishing was solid - some periods of excellent fishing and a few times when we were finding fish but couldn't get them to eat. Overall, we had a lot of chances at permit but didn't see as many Tarpon this week. There was good wade fishing for Bonefish and some Permit.
