Fishing Reports
July 2021
I like to fish early this time of the year. The cooler morning water temperatures provide the best opportunity to hunt snook and redfish just outside the confines of mangrove cover where they’ll spend most of the day as soon as everything heats up. Some days, the...
June from the bench
As we sat down at the fly tying bench for this month, June. Summer’s here and we’re working mangrove shorelines for redfish and snook and open water adjacent to the beaches for tarpon. As a result, we’re throwing baitfish flies to imitate the scaled sardines and...
June Outlook
Essentially, this is an extension of last month and I’ll continue to work the same type pattern. The inshore bite around outer shorelines and adjacent bar systems is good. However, for many, tarpon are the main emphasis. Fish migrating north out of the keys and...

April Outlook
For the next two months, the combination of water temperature, bait migration, and tide schedules are promising. Now, we’re in full spring transition. First, as water temperatures climb into the 70’s prey species like the scaled sardine and threadfin herring will...
