Fishing was very slow this week due to a small number of guests in the lodge and some unfavorable weather. Most of our guests were spin fishermen with 1 large group visiting us on a team building exercise.

January 2, 2021

This was a relatively slow week, with the weather playing a big part. Cloudy days made it difficult to spot fish, and the wind added to our woes. Permit were seen everywhere but refused flies and were extremely difficult to hook. Young Marshall S landed a beautiful Permit of 20 lbs using a live crab, and his Dad Josh broke one off. The Snook bite is on.

December 20, 2020

This was a good week. Bonefish as always, are around in big numbers all over the flats. Permit were seen everywhere, but refused flies and were extremely difficult to hook. The Snook bite is on, but the Tarpon are going off the boil.

December 13, 2020

This was a good week despite the sometimes inclement weather. Fish are all over the flats, and the Snook bite is starting very well.

December 6, 2020

This was a slow week, with the weather playing a big part. Due to the heavy cloud and rain, sight fishing was very difficult. We are looking forward to vastly improved weather conditions next week.

November 29, 2020

This was a much better weather week at the lodge with us finally shaking off the effects of the two Hurricanes which battered our southern neighbors. Fortunately, we only experienced huge rain. The Tarpon are very active, and really big numbers of Permit are being seen all over. We look forward to another bumper week ahead.
