Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
With a few days off the water it was back to finishing up a few lure orders in the shop (that's where you'll find me most days when I'm off the water). It's the time of year when quite a few anglers start gearing up for the coming spring season... This pic shows a few LBJ's (little brown jigs, a cold water staple) - these are the smallest size at 1/8oz (I also get a lot of orders for them in 1/4oz and 3/8oz...) -tip them with a tiny bit of shrimp and you're in business all winter long.... along with leadhead orders in the background. Nothing like making exactly what's needed instead of buying at a shop somewhere and making do with whatever you were able to find....

Note the black nickel hooks - they come razor sharp from the lure mold.... and are big enough to hold a quality fish without failing...
In the coming weeks the night fishing will continue (we sightfish tarpon and snook at night locally between Miami and Miami Beach when the tide is right all the way through April...) and the inside fishing at Flamingo will continue to get better and better. With a few days of mild weather the big tarpon will come in out of the Gulf and Whitewater Bay will hold them in numbers. If it stays cold, the big tarpon won't make an appearance until mid or late February... By March the big fish will have come back inside to stay until April when they'll move from inside to back out on the coast, north and south of the Shark River...
Be a hero - take a kid fishing!
Tight lines,
