Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
102507
I am fishing Flamingo today with my buddy Bruce and we have some tough conditions to deal with. It is breezy and there are some showers moving in as our first front of the year is moving over us. I have been telling him of the consistent Tarpon/Snook action and we decided to make a day of it. It is hard to sit on the boat and watch everyone else catch fish, every once in a while I like to do it as well.
I pulled up to the first spot and the wind was cranking but we got inside a cove with some protection. It didn't take long and we saw a rolling Tarpon, I cast a Twitch n Rap and it got smashed. The Tarpon missed it and a Snook hit it the Snook let go, a third fish thumped it so hard it caught me be surprise, The morning got tough after that but Bruce did mange a couple Tarpon and Snook on fly. I switched to a Gulp Minnow and then a Shrimp, I jumped a couple Tarpon and caught a few Snook myself but conditions were tough.
I decided to move, the wind was 20-25 so we worked some windy points, deeper troughs and big fall downs with current on them. It was 1130 A.M. and I was ready to go home, but I said let's try one more area. That's all it took we found the Snook, although they weren't giants they were plentiful. The bonus were 2 nice Redfish, 2 Goliath Grouper @ 7 lbs fun on light tackle, the Snook seemed endless, the days total catch was somewhere around 50 Snook up to 28"s. This goes to show even on the worst of weather days we can catch fish inside of Everglades National Park, there is usually somewhere to hide.
The temeratures are cooler and the fish are responding, the next few weeks will remain very good until a big cold front changes things. If you would like to try this type of fishing give me a call at 305 333 8149.
