July Fishing Report

Overall, July was a great month down here in the Lower Keys.  Fishing for bonefish has been awesome, there are a lot of them on the flats right now.  We’ve been seeing everything from single fish, to schools of 20 or more fish.  Even days when we have tough lighting, we can wait for the the lower tides and target them when they’re tailing or pushing a wake.  We were able to give 15 bonefish DNA samples to the Bonefish Tarpon Trust for research. Thank you, to all my clients who helped with that.  Tarpon fishing has been good too, we have a bunch of smaller fish on the flats right now and few of the big ones are still hanging around.  Permit fishing has still been a little slower than it should be, but were getting a few shots at them.
