FISHING: Great
Florida Keys Tides [[url "http://co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/tides03/tab2ec3d.html"][#0000ff]click here[/#0000ff][/url]]
Well, we certainly went from Spring to instant Summer, and the winds have finally calmed down, and the bite has been great from the flats to Everglades National Park.
Boy, June, here is is a start of a new month, and a new fishing report!
The winds have since calmed down as I said, and looks like Summer has fallen right into place, and the bite is great from tarpon fishing, to bonefish, and permit.
The backcountry action has been good with quite a few reports of big bonefish, permit, tarpon, redfish, trout, ladyfish, and snapper. If this pattern here in the Keys, stays the way it is the fishing keeps getting better.
As I said, the fishing is going well on live bait, and fly has been a bit tricky, but the tarpon and the bonefishing are biting and has been great in the morning and early evenings just before the sunsets.
Winds are out of the East Southeast, at 10-15mph, and the afternoon storms start to blow in off the Atlantic, and later in the evening. But, has inhibited the fishing whatsoever.
I am looking forward to a Great Summer Season for all my Anglers.
When live bait fishing for tarpon we are using live bait pilchards, pinfish, and crabs, it has been a fair to hot bite in the morning hours and evening hours. We have been bagging some big and fat fish from 90lbs and up.
All anglers are having fun with all different kind of species, of sharks, barracuda, and of course, the Keys, giant Silver King, and the anglers are having fun catching a variety of fish.
Bonefishing has been good, seeing quite a few groups of fish feeding on the outgoing tide, and the weather has been sunny, and warm, the winds haven't been a factor for us for a week, and big fish are being caught and released on crabs, and shrimp. On fly, we are using crab patterns, and Crazy Charlies, with white bunny hair, and a bit of grizzly hackle has been beneficial this past week.
Light tackle anglers have been quite productive in the backcountry for snapper, trout, redfish, jack crevelle, sharks, ladyfish, snook, and of course tarpon.
Don't Forget that the Evening trips for tarpon, bonefish, and permit are fantastic too, and a great time to see a terrific sunset, and have a great time on fly or live bait. Great time of the year for those bites! Give me a call or just drop a line.
Don't forget that the Summer and Fall Months are the best of times to stalk and sightcast for bonefish, tarpon, permit, snook, redfish, trout, and other species.
Also Remember Snook Season is closed June, July and August, and reopens Sept. 15th, and closes again in December.
Offshore fishing is really great this time of the year, with hook up daily with several dolphin, marilin, and some sailfish, and big ones too! With also, daily catches of kingfish, wahoo, tuna, dolphin, snappers, and groupers.
Also, if you like more information, you can call me directly at 305-664-5891, Capt. Ann or you can call Capt. Alex at 305-852-5084, for more offshore information.
It can be a bit trying on the nerves, but once you hook up the adrenaline takes over, and your knees start shaking, and the thrill of the line zipping out in less than a minute. It is a true rush. I cannot describe the feeling, until you actually hook up. But, let me tell you, that it is one of the most fasinating, and intriguing experiences you could ever have, whether on fly or light tackle, it will have your heart racing, and have a lump in your throat, and a
on your face, when you hook up!
Reef and Patch fishing has been good with yellowtail, mangrove and mutton snappers, all great keepers, and what a dinner.
Summer and Fall Tournament Fishing will be getting active, with some Big Fish Being Caught, and Released. If any of you anglers are interested in Some Great Comraderie, and Action, and would like to Enter Some Of Islamorada's Great Tournaments, please call me at 305-664-5891, or you can email me at CaptAnn@boneranger.com, and I will get all the information needed for such events.
Great way to benefit some great causes, and give a little back to some of the less fortunate, and a Great Way to have Fun, and make new Friends.
Don't forget you Flyfishing Enthusiasts, this is the greatest time of the year to come and challenge all our gamefish on fly, the challenge can be quite rewarding, and a great way to get ready for your Spring fishing. Gives you all great hand and eye coordination, so those who you think are bad, don't think it your eyes that are going, its time to get some lessons. I do offer No-Pressure fly instruction, and love to teach you new techniques to build your skills for the Lake and Stream fishing your doing.
Make Sure to Plan in Advance for the Upcoming Spring and Summer, and Fall Dates for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit and Backcountry Fishing. It starts late March and runs through July. But, we get booked 6 months to a year in advance for the season, so don't delay, get your dates put together and we will let you feel the thrill of hooking up the species of choice, whether its bonefish, tarpon, or permit, you may be lucky enough to land a Grand Slam!
So see whether you choose to go Flats fishing for our elusive Bonefish, or Powerful Permit, and/or those Giant Silver Kings, aka Tarpon, you will sure be surprised to find what is at the other end of your rod.
Other anglers are finding their ways into the Backcountry of Everglades National Park, or even Offshore to challenge the deep water species.
Reminder to All Anglers Snook Season is open and is open until December 14th, then closed Dec. 15th- Jan 31st, also closed, June, July, and August, but, don't forget we can still fish the closed season, and fish when snook season reopens, so be ready!
If you would like more information for fishing here in The Florida Keys, please check out my website at http://www.boneranger.com, and I will be happy to help and assist to make your fishing adventure, and vacation a memory of a lifetime.
Ladies, don't forget, we too can enjoy the splendors of fishing on light tackle or fly, and it's a great way to spend the day getting to know the waters and the beauty that happens here in the Keys!
Well, until my next report, tight lines, and Hope To See You on the Flats, and Remember Catch and Release for the Future!
Tight lines, and Keep Reeling, and Hope to See Yah on the Flats,
