CALENDAR
Best time to flats fish the Florida Keys?? Every month of the calendar can be great. It depends alot on current weather conditions.
Regardless of the season we catch fish, and more important, have fun. Give me a call and we can talk about the fishing at the time you pick for your trip, or if you’re flexible, the times that would be optimum to schedule your trip.
JANUARY.....
Typicaly this month is barracuda time. Lots and lots of these big predators on the flats, along with a variety of sharks prowling the shallow warmer water.
How ever January can be warm. Bonefish, permit and baby tarpon can be found on the flats on these warmer days.
FEBRUARY.....
The first schools of tarpon start to appear in the back country. They can be found rolling in the deep channels early morning and dusk.
Lots of action on the flats. Barracuda, big sharks and jacks are abundant. Bonefish, baby tarpon and permit are also available on the warmer days
MARCH.....
Considered one of the best months for permit. As the water temperatures rise, tarpon start moving to the warmer flats and basins Good month to cast at laid up tarpon. Bonefish also become more active.
APRIL.....
Tarpon! Permit! Bonefish! Hard to make up your mind. Fishing just gets better as water temperature improves. Tarpon and permit are cruising the flats and the edges.
Great time for large bonefish feeding on the flats.
MAY.....
Prime time for tarpon, also a great time for bonefish. Permit slows down early in the month, when these fish move offshore to spawn. Fishing picks back up near the end of the month when they return.
JUNE.....JULY
Weather is hot and so is the fishing! Tarpon! Permit! Bones!
AUGUST - SEPTEMBER....
It is the time of year I pack up and head back to the rivers and mountains of Montana.
It is great to be back in Montana, floating the river, for rainbows and brown trout.
I guide on the Missouri river. It is famous for prolific insect hatches and large numbers of big trout feeding on drys.
OCTOBER - NOVEMBER.....
Where is everybody?? The flats are empty except for tailing permit, bonefish and baby tarpon. Water is warm and the fishing is good.
DECEMBER.......
Baby tarpon, bonefish and permit are still on the flats during the warm periods before the cold fronts lower the water temperatures,
The good news is, lower temperatures on the flats means huge cudas, jacks and big sharks roaming the flats.
