Fishing Calendar |
|
January |
Great fishing for Barracuda, Jacks, Sharks. Also very good
for Ladyfish, Seatrout, Cobia, Redfish and Snapper. Decent Permit fishing
later in the month. |
|
February |
Large migratory Tarpon begin to show up mid-month, weather permitting. Permit fishing picks up and Bonefish make appearances on nice days. Barracudas and Jacks provide fun regardless of weather. |
|
March |
Permit fishing begins to peak. Large Tarpon reliable on nice days. Bonefish return to the flats in good numbers. Great Barracuda and large Jacks anytime. Weather permitting Nite Tarpon fishing. |
|
April |
Permit begin to leave mid-month for offshore spawn. Big schools of large Tarpon come inshore and feed voraciously. Bonefish become excellent midday targets. Nite Tarpon fishing. |
|
May |
As good as it gets! Trophy Tarpon 'lay-up,' in shallow water and make for the most exciting fishing of the season. Bonefishing only gets better. A few Permit make a return appearance.Nite Tarpon fishing. |
|
June |
Tarpon continue to make a big push into near shore waters. Permit return in a big way. Bonefish begin to invade the flats in good numbers and become very reliable. Nite Tarpon fishing. |
|
July |
Excellent fishing for all species. Stable weather and few boats make for an excellent shot at a 'Grand Slam.' Low incoming tides in the morning or evening make for shots at large schools of big bonefish. Nite Tarpon fishing. |
|
August |
Good Bonefishing, good Permit fishing. Tarpon fishing, but I would suggest fishing early in the day or late afternoon can be excellent for Nite Tarpon. |
|
September |
Same as August |
|
October |
One of my favorite months to flats fish. Cooler October weather brings Big Bonefish out of deeper waters and Permit fishing also gets better. Tarpon fishing early or Nite Tarpon. |
|
November |
Wonderful Bonefishing and Permit fishing. Nite Tarpon too. |
|
December |
Same as November up to mid-month. Then for Christmas, we get Redfish, Sea Trout, Cobia and Monster Barracuda begin to invade the flats following the winter bait fish. |
|
* A word about Nite Tarpon. We really mean evening usually 3 1/2 - 4 hours. If you haven't tried this you are missing out. Light tackle and Fly Fishing this time of day is a real treat. Tarpon feed at night! |
