It was quite an interesting week. Despite facing some tough weather conditions and a cold front with winds coming from the north and northwest, our anglers still managed to have a productive fishing week.
A large number of bonefish were landed. While Permit and Tarpon were a bit more difficult to find, some guests still successfully landed several tarpons, a couple of permits, and a few snook. Additionally, many other species were caught, including Cobia, Barracuda, Mackerel, Jacks, and plenty of Snapper.
