Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
First of all I would like to thank Jim and Sherri Trice and all those who helped put this event together.
Ken and I started the morning great, by 7:30am Ken landed a nice bonefish and 300 points on the board. We had a few more good shots at bonefish but the tide was turning and it was time for us to head deeper into Floriday Bay and look for some redfish. We found a few and had shots, pulled some hooks and just plain unlucky. Thats the name of the game. 11 out of 37 teams got bonefish and 9 got the redfish bonefish slam. Congrats to all the winners!
Ken and I had a great time even though the redfish tortured us but we will be looking forward to next year and another fun event.
On another note, there has been plenty of small tarpon around in the backcountry. These fish are fun on artificial or fly and can be a challenge to get to the boat at times with there acrobatic jumps and bony mouths making it hard to stay connected.
The deeper shorelines and islands have been tough due too the south south east winds we have had.
The redfish and snook have been up on the flats and runoffs were you can find some clean water holding bait. The right presentation making your artificial/fly look as natural as possible is the key to getting these fish in the skinny water to eat.
