Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
Got an early start and hit Flamingo. Conditions didn't look too hot after extremely heavy rainfall, there was lots of fresh water and a decent southwest wind. Fortunately, the fish didn't seem to care. We threw topwaters and jigs all day and managed a very respectable catch.

It was a fun day and it was pretty clear that fishing has been and will remain solid. It's a great time of year over there...
Final Tally- 18 snook to 30'', a big black drum, 1 redfish, sheepshead, ladyfish,and jacks
After having a sold day even though the conditions weren't very good on Saturday, we returned for more this past Monday. Conditions were better and the fishing was pretty spectacular. We didn't catch many trophy fish but the quantity was there! Nearly every cast produced a strike and we caught a plethora of different species. We even managed 3 backcountry slams (1 for each of the 3 people on board).
All the fish were caught on topwaters and bucktails. We even had a couple 15 plus pound snook destroy the topwaters which will leave us solid memories even though we didn't land the fish.
