This past week, we hosted a group of ladies who had a wonderful time on the waters. For most of them, this was their first slat water fishing trip and they caught lots of Bonefish, Permits, Tarpons & Snook. We had a guest who was able to land a grand slam. The weather conditions were great and the ladies are already planning a trip to come back down to the lodge. To round of the week, they also caught Snappers, Jacks & Barracudas.
