This wind keeps the water temps cool, the sky blue. Cooler water temps make for some tougher fishing, but blue skies make for some great visibility when sight fishing on the flats. Fortunately here in the lower keys we have lots of leeward shore lines and protected flats to fish out of the wind. On the days when the wind has laid down a little we have been able to hunt baby tarpon. On the warmer days between fronts we are finding full size tarpon laid up in basins and rolling in the channels. The last several days has been a mixed bag of permit, redfish, snook, barracuda, jacks and sharks.
Montana Outfitter Mike Kuhnert with Evoulution Fly Fishing boated his first permit and jumped a tarpon this week. Way to go Mike!
