April brings Northeast Winds

April 15, 2003March came in like a lamb with great weather and fishing, then went out like a lion with a severe cold front that knocked us off the water for three days into the beginning of April. Since then, the April fishing has been tough on the flats with mostly windy and cool days. Currently we have Northeast winds which have kept the water temperatures cooled off into the low 70's in the nighttime and mornings, creeping into the high 70's in the afternoons. We have had some shots at Tarpon, Permit and Bonefish on the flats, but the action has been spotty at best! Only bait boats chumming madly have had great success in April.Here is a Tarpon taken in April.Our Father (Mother) - Son (Daughter) Key West Flats Fishing Trips are now scheduled for throughout the summer, fall and winter.

Dexter Simmons for a future fishing charter by telephone at 305-745-3304 or by email at [email protected]
