Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
I had chance to do some friendly fishing this past Fri with my ole pal Scott Beard of Ft. Lauderdale and it turned out to be a great day on the water! Early morning found lots of baby tarpon rolling all over the flats near the channel and ofcourse had to bust out my favorite baby tarpon fly the Gurgler. Scott hooked up instantly with just a few strips of the fly.
With the baby tarpon we also found lots of Snook busting up the pods of mullet that were not in short supply. I had a 30in+ Snook follow my Gurgler almost all the way to the boat, but no take! I then switched patterns to sometihng a bit more fishy and threw in front of a prowling snook and he snatched it up without hesitation, not whopper but at least it was a snook on the fly!
Afterwards we ran to another spot looking for some Redfish and seatrout action and we weren't disappointed. We found Redfish almost instantly and one cruised right in front of the skiff just before I jumped on the platform! I switched over to a brown and orange Redfish toad pattern which produced good results with both the Reds and Seatrout and Snook too!
As the winds picked up and cloud cover started to block visibility we decided to call it a day. Fish can be found out front all year round and yes that means Fall and Winter too you just have to pick your days as the winds start to pick up! That's my report for now hope everyone is catching em up, talk to ya soon.............Capt. Joe!
