WHAT GUESTS WERE CATCHING:

BONEFISH (Macabi): Another wonderful group of people at the lodge this week. Reid and Kim B hosted an Orvis group and everybody had a great time. The weather was very cooperative and so were the fish. Each angler landed bonefish and Tom was top rod this week with close to two hundred bonefish landed. Great job Tom!

PERMIT (Palometta): The Permit were around again this week, but not quite as hungry. Our anglers spent a lot of time chasing those wild and crazy guys with not much luck. Several of our anglers landed some nice fish though. Jeff and Scott doubled up, each landing a nice Permit. Lots of good size Permit seen this Sunday but, not many eats. We will try again next week.

TARPON (Sabalo): Plenty of tarpon landed this week in spite of the lack of Permit. Some of our anglers had multiple shots with multiple hook ups. Pam caught a really nice Tarpon. Kim, the host of the Orvis group, managed to land three in one day fishing the back lagoon while the group was out enjoying their time out on the water. Isa, our fishing director knows where to find them in the back lagoon. Come join us and let him take you too!

OTHER SPECIES: Cobia, Barracuda, Snapper and Jack.
