Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
I am fishing with Jeff and Heather today at Flamingo, we have some friends in common so I really wanted to get them on fish. Jeff said they wanted to learn how to catch Redfish, so off we went. It was cool morning and we had a super negative low tide which is great for finding schooled up Redfish in the holes. I ran by a lot of spots that could of possibly held fish but I went to my honey hole. We got there and the tide was low and starting to move in which is usually the what I want . We fished for a half hour and I was getting ready to leave when Jeff hooked a Redfish, I thought it was going to turn on but it didn't. I ran to a spot that is good on low incoming water but all we caught were Trout. Heather didn't mind but I did! The weather forecast was for the winds to pick up to almost 40 knots this afternoon so I needed to get on some fish before that happened. I hit my Goliath and Gag Grouper spots and could not get a bite, it was really getting windy. I tried to stay in the deepest back country and out of the wind, but there was a minimal bite of Snappers, Jacks, Ladyfish and Trout. I hit all my top spots and the Redfish weren't biting or there. Jeff didn't leave empty handed, I marked his chart with some of my favorite spots.
