We had a wonderful week here at the lodge with our guest catching so many fishes. A few of our anglers were getting double grand slams through their days of fishing. There were a lot of Permits and Tarpon around this past week. A lucky few of our anglers were able to land the Migrator Tarpons, & jump a bunch of them. As always, many bonefish were landed throughout the week, and anglers were also able to catch Snappers, Jacks’ Barracuda, etc.….
