JANUARY.....

Typically this month is barracuda time.  Lots of these big predators on the flats, along with a variety of sharks prowling the shallow warmer water.  Redfish are also a fun option.

However January can be warm.  If it is bonefish, permit and baby tarpon can be readily found on the flats on these warmer days.

FEBRUARY.....

The first schools of migratory tarpon start to appear in the back country and lay up basins.  They can also be found rolling in the deep channels early morning and dusk.

Lots of action on the flats.  Barracuda, big sharks. redfish and jacks are cruising the flats.  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 fish for laid up tarpon. Bonefish also move on to the warmer flats.

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.  Mid April the permit begin to move off shore. 

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 start to return.

JUNE....

Weather is hot and so is the fishing! Tarpon!  Permit!  Bones!

July to September....

Fishing is very good.  Especially early mornings, before the flats become to warm.

OCTOBER - NOVEMBER.....

Where is everybody??  The flats are empty except for tailing permit, bonefish and baby tarpon.  Water is warm and the fishing is great.

DECEMBER.......

Baby tarpon, bonefish and permit are  on the flats during the warm periods before and between cold fronts.  However cooler water temps bring large cudas into the shallow flats.  Redfish are always a fun option on cooler days.
