Fishing Reports by Capt. Benny Blanco

Flamingo - ADDICTED - What makes a good angler?... Versatility. In South Florida there are no constants, except that conditions CONSTANTLY change. I cannot remember a day in the last two weeks when the wind direction didn't change at least once or when tidal flow didn't more...

Flamingo - Redfish Rodeo - As I idled up to a famous Florida Bay flat, we were met by the Sun's first peek over the horizon. When I turned the engine off, the familiar sounds of happy mullet surrounded us. I joined my long time client on the bow platform for the show... in t more...
