The weather and the fishing continue to be exceptional for this time of year. Warmer water temperatures, give us opportunities to hunt permit, tarpon and bonefish. How ever there are lots of other fish to target this time of year.. Trout, ladyfish, jacks, cudas and sharks are all fun too!

Xmas Permit

I fished the day after Xmas with my friend Tom Morgan. We found some "tanker" barracudas and some hungry permit on the incoming tide.. Water temps are good and we have been finding tarpon too...

Bo Sellers with a big barracuda..

This is the time of year , that the big barracudas move on the flats.. If you like pike or musky , you will love cudas.. Chuck the tube lure past the fish.. reel it back as fast as you can... if they start to follow, reel faster.. never slow down.. Barracudas can hit speeds of 30 mph..

My friend Dale Bishop sent me this pic and fishing report.. too good not to share..

Mavis got to try out her new rod she got for Xmas

"We tried out our new Dora the Explorer rod today. Hooked some Redfish, Trout and Ladyfish. A big Redfish got away. Dora needs to work on the drag system of her rods."

Jane puts the heat on a big blacktip!

Lots of big sharks patrolling the same flats we look for permit and bonefish...

Come on down and join the fun!!!

While some parts of the country are experiencing first snow falls of the year. Here in the Florida keys the weather has been very pleasant.. Highs around 80 degrees for the rest of the week.

Redfish


Good News! The Lower Florida Keys are not known for redfishing.. Permit, tarpon and bonefish are the main "glamour" species we target on the flats.. How ever. I have been finding a fair amount of redfish in the back country on the right tides.. More then I have seen in the last two years.



Tom Rue with a barracuda.


December is the the time of year when the big cuda move on to the flats in good numbers.. If you like to fish for northern pike or muskies, you will LOVE cudas.. I do.. Takes are vicious, jumps are spectacular and their top speed is 30mph..

                                              

Sea Trout


I prefer to pole and sight fish, but if you want to keep the rod bent, blind casting for sea trout and lady fish has been good.. We have been getting lady fish on surface flies too.. Fun stuff!

Permit release..

Water temperatures have been good in the mid 70's. Been finding permit on the gulf edge, juvenile tarpon in the mangroves and even a few bonefish on the flats..

Dan from Switzerland with a nice snook.

This fall, I had the pleasure of fishing with Dan and Dan from Switzerland.. They got here for our first "cold front". Fishing was a little tougher then it could have been.. But we fed some tarpon, boated jacks, sharks and a very nice snook..

They did an excellent job fishing and filming.. Check out the video they made..

Especially if I am fishing a lot.
