Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
This is the time of year everything can come together early in the morning. The Tarpon,Snook and Redfishing can be as good as it ever gets at first light. This is the time of year where "backcountry slams" Tarpon,Snook,Redfish,Trout are very common and multiple slams are very possible.
The Tarpon will be around all the islands in holes and motes and then out in the Gulf of Mexico. The key in open water look for the free jumping fish they will let you know where to start. June is a great month to fish live mullet for Tarpon, I have found that sometimes that's all they want.
The Snook will eat everything, I prefer the Rapala "Twitch n Rap" and Gulp jerkbaits and Shrimp. If they dont eat one of these lures there's a problem outside of your control. The Redfish will be up on the flats, in potholes, and under the mangroves once you find them there should be plenty around.
There are still plenty of Tripletail's around out in the Gulf, with Snook season being closed Tripletail's are great for eating.
The Snook spawn should start taking place soon in the inlets on the east coast. A lot of inlets get attention but don't forget the local inlets like Government Cut and Haulover Inlets they hold plenty of big spawning Snook thru August/September.
The Tarpon are still off of Miami Beach and the evening bite has continued to be good, these fish usually stick around thru mid June.
Bonefish and Permit are always present and there are still Tarpon cruising the Oceanside flats moving south towards the keys.
I have plenty of availability give me a call if you would like to spend a day on the water chasing some great game fish.
The cost of everything right now effects everyone, I am trying to keep my prices down to stay busy, if you are looking for a guide I am available.
Let's go Catch'em
