Techniques & Tips as of 6/2/25
Be able to side cast and comfortable with the "double haul". This will help you punch into the wind and lay your leader out better. Be safe!
Current Conditions as of 6/2/25
The winds will be in the 5 to 20+ mph range most of the week. Captains have been reporting groups of Juvenile Tarpon, with some bigger fish mixed in with the right conditions. Bonefish have been a pleasant surprise with many fish being caught as the water temps warm up from the spring temperature increase. Look to find most Bones active on a tide change. Permit have still been slow this time of year. Hopefully they are coming off of a successful spawning season. There have been some permit around, but as always they can be picky and elusive. The large Cudas are out on the flats even as the water temperature has started to rise. These guys are a great challenge on fly or light spin gear. Remember to get the fly moving fast to get their attention. They love live bait! Wishing everyone tight lines and fish boatside!Local Species Available Winter
