Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
The fishing is very dependable right now. I'm finding small Tarpon and lots of Snook to start my mornings. There's an active Tarpon bite for the first couple hours and then we have to work them once the sun comes up. The Snook bite is all day for the most part, some days better than others.
This past 10 days the "NOLIVEBAITNEEDED'Sheesh color 3-inch paddle tail worked great. Tarpon to 50 Lbs. Hundreds of Snook and plenty of Trout and a few Redfish. The lure worked in dark stained tannic water and also in green clean Gulf of Mexico. That wasn't the only NLBN color that worked, the Green back is incredible also.
It's been a very good month weather wise and had some of my favorite customers. I'm glad the fish played when they all showed up
I also fished the Key Largo Classic that benefits the Sheridan House. Great party and dinner the night before great time to catch up with other guides you don't see every day. Brett, Alex and his son Jayden did pretty good tying for 1st.
I fished with Ross and Mindy a couple days while they are down and 2 days of killing it. I really don't know how many fish they caught but they did catch a couple Grand Slams.
I fished with James Kang a really good fly angler. It was fun to watch and to talk fishing all day. He had some Tarpon and Snook bites early on using a fly tied by my buddy Ashley of Don's bait and tackle. We also got into a school of Snook that were feeding on small fry, we had to catch 30 Snook in 30 minutes. The school would follow the hooked Snook to the boat, it seemed like hundreds of Snook. We covered a lot of water and caught Tarpon, Snook, Trout, Jacks, Ladyfish and Snappers.
Can't catch the fish without these products,
