The past two weeks have been challenging for us here at El Pescador Lodge. Last week, Hurricane Beryl was heading towards the island, which limited our ability to get as many boats out as we would have liked. The conditions were tough throughout the week. This week has been slow as well, with only two anglers fishing every other day. Despite these challenges, they still managed to hook and land some fish. They caught plenty of Bonefish, jumped a few Tarpon, and landed a couple of them. They also succeeded in landing a couple of Permit.

WHAT GUESTS WERE CATCHING

Bonefish: Good fishing for Bones as usual. 75 bones were landed for the week, most were in the 2-4 pound range.
Permit: Anglers landed 2 Permit for the week.
Tarpon: Anglers landed 3 Tarpons for the week.
Other Species: Some Barracuda and Jacks

FLIES THAT WORKED

Bonefish: Christmas Island Specials in gold, pearl, and pink sizes 4 & 6, and Crazy Charlies in pink and orange as well as shrimp patterns.
Permit: Squmip rag head crabs, and strongarms crabs.
Tarpon: Toads, chartreuse, and black/purple bunnies are the flies of choice
