While the fishing was not at its best due to a couple of cold fronts and slow conditions, our guides worked hard to ensure anglers had good shots at finding fish. We saw a lot of bonefish landed, and while there were big schools of permit around, only a few were successfully caught. Similarly, many tarpons jumped, but only a few were landed. We also had success with several other species, including snook, cobia, snapper, jacks, and barracudas.
Despite the challenging weather, it was a productive week on the water.
