LOWER FLORIDA KEYS FLATS FISHING REPORT

Friday, 13 January 2012

Jan. 13th. Flats Fishing Report for The Lower Florida Keys.

Ouch!

While parts of the country are battling snow, ice and other winter weather conditions.. It was been a very pleasant January here in the Florida Keys.. Highs in the mid 70's.... Which makes for some good flats fishing..

Permit!

Warmer water temperatures, give us the chance to hunt permit, tarpon and bonefish.

How ever there are lots of other fish to target this time of year.. Trout, ladyfish, redfish, jacks, cudas and sharks are all fun too!?

Mark from Iowa with his first redfish.

Lots of redfish in the back country this winter. More then I have seen in years...

Matt putting the heat to a black tip shark!

Barracuda

Winter time is barracuda time.. These fish are a blast! They are faster then a bonefish and can jump higher then a tarpon.

Speaking of tarpon.. It is almost that time.. In another month the front runners of the tarpon migration will start to appear in the lay up basins.. I CAN'T WAIT! Neither can my regular anglers. I have been getting inquires and bookings every day, now that the holidays are over.. Still have days available for this tarpon season..

Don't wait too long if you want a spot on the bow..

CAPTAIN'S LOG Tips, Rants, Pics, News, Observations And Other Ramblings From The Florida Keys

Florida 2011 - two swiss boy's try hard to get'm from Daniel Baggenstos on Vimeo.

This fall, I had the pleasure of fishing with Dan and Dan from Switzerland.. They got here for our first "cold front". Fishing was a little tougher then it could have been.. But we fed some tarpon, boated jacks, sharks and a very nice snook..

They did an excellent job fishing and filming.. Check out the video they made..

Tarpon fishing has been good.. Tested the Go Pro Hero Video Cam.. Mounted it to the poling platform.. It did a decent job of capturing the jumps with the wide angle lense.. Think it will make a good addition for taking video of anglers on my boat... It can be difficult to film and pole..

Bonefishing has been good! This video has several random clips, shot while fishing with friends..

Mike and Rich made a video from our day on the water.. Mike boated a tarpon on fly and Rich got a big shark.. Fun day!

Boat Slam with Derrin and Bob..
Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon....

Steve brought his 12 year old grandson Jaxon down to the Keys for his first ever salt water fishing trip.. Might be his first but certainly not his last.. Jaxon had a blast sight fishing to sharks and barracudas. First day, first shark was a 7 foot blacktip hooked in less then 3 foot of water.. It was fun..

Fished with my buddy Capt. Bo Sellers today..
Bo boated a permit on fly!

Giuliano and Massimo hooked up with tarpon every day.. baby tarpon and 6 footers.. Unfortunatly the big ones did not stay long enough to film..
But it was fun!
