LOWER FLORIDA KEYS FLATS FISHING REPORT

Guides Day Off!!

Capt. Bo Sellers got this permit on a merkin...

Had the last two days off.. Fished yesterday with my friend Capt. Tom Morgan.. We found some bonefish on the gulf side in the morning then switched to tarpon.. Fished two spots with lots of glass minnows and tarpon.. Tom fed several nice tarpon.. The interesting thing is the tarpon are swimming though the bait to eat the fly.. It is a good fly!!

Met Bo at the dock at 6:00 am this morning.. Glassy smooth, incoming tide.. looked for tailing bonefish on what can be a very good bonefish flat.. Well it wasn't this morning.. Switched gears and checked out some tarpon spots.. We found some big tarpon crashing glass minnows.. Bo poled me into one and I had her on for several jumps before the line parted.. That's tarpon fishing.. The tide topped out and the action slowed down.. Ran to the back country to get ahead of the tide.. Found some permit pushing down an edge... Bo made a great cast and we put one in the boat!!

Check out the video....

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!

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!
