Apparently all that talk about global warming is true. We had a lot of days in January that were more like spring. Most days temperatures were in the 80's, with water temps in the high 70's and low 80's.
Early morning tarpon fishing continues to be great on the flat calm mornings. Tarpon love to roll in low light conditions. A little cloud cover extends our dawn fishing later into the day .Some mornings we have been finding juvenile tarpon and sea gulls feeding on grass shrimp on the surface. Baby tarpon can also be found and sight fished to later in the day on the warmer flats, near deeper channels
Good numbers of permit can be found on the flats.. Permit are challenging to catch on fly, but they do eat flies enough for us to keep trying. Warmer water temperatures have pulled some large schools of bonefish up onto the flats too, that we don't typically see this time of year.
On the days after a cold front we go back to the usual winter fishing. Mullet muds are still producing a mixed bag of jacks, lady fish, snappers and sea trout
Enough about winter fishing...It is February. The big migratory tarpon will soon appear in the warm up basins and deeper channels. YAHOOO!!!!!! The lower Florida Keys is the best place in the world to sight fish large tarpon.
Come on down and put one of these big fish in the air!
