Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
Blow wind, blow! A steady dosage of 20 – 25 knot winds for a few weeks will change your perspective. What really is bad wind? At this point, I am convinced it's all good. It is what you make of it… and for me, it has been great. Managing my lightweight Maverick HPX-T in these high winds was tough work at times, but a little extra planning and patience yielded plentiful rewards this week. It is not without advantages either… extreme low tides, long distance casting ability (with wind at your back) and a great topwater bite.
After a sporty run from Islamorada, Richard and client caught several nice Snook…
Danny was a Trout catching machine…
Mike methodically caught release several slot and over slot Redfish, Snook and Trout to complete his first Back Country Slam…
Buddy Yarborough proceeded to put a bunch of big Redfish in the boat.
Mike with his first tailing Redfish!
… and with his first "Flats" Snook. He would go on to catch a large Trout to compete his first ever Back Country Slam.
Tyler (www.CastawayCustoms.com) and I got out for a few hours on a rare day off… We made short work of a dozen good fish, including two ten pounders and then called it an early morning.
Flamingo Fishing Forecast:
With tons of fish on the Florida Bay flats, this week will be at least as good as last... call and book a cyberangler guide for your trip today!
