Permit A'Plenty, Tarpon and Bonefish About. - March 25, 2008. March is always great for Permit fishing and it usually is very good for Tarpon and Bonefish too.

Still breezy but catching fish! - 031208 I am fishing with Ed and Brian in Whitewater Bay today and this was an interesting day. Ed is a pro bass angler and did some things just a little different than I normally do. He started out by throwing this big swim bait like they use out more...

First two weeks of March - Time for a long overdue fishing report. I'll keep the report part simple, the fishing both day and night has been alternating between red hot to difficult depending on the day (or night) and what the weather has allowed us to do. This time of year more...
