Report:
Fishing the Backcountry area's of Whitewater Bay , Hells Bay , Pearl Bay... seen the Snook and Redfish bite significantly better than last week. This week I had customers Dave and Cajun Perry from north florida come down and have a great day reeling in 30+ snook on Rapala X-Raps in the number 8 size in the Backcountry. Fly fishing in the everglades has really only been sucessful when you can find a nice spot to fish in where the wind isn't blowing too hard.

Biscayne Bay has been tough again due to high winds. I have seen a few schools of bones enter the shallow flats from the deeper channel of Angelfish Creek. These fish were in schools of 8-10 fish and ranged from 7-9 Pounds. During these windy days we have had a blast casting the shorelines for Barracuda with artificial lures. I normally like to do this to keep my guys entertained while poling down the edges looking for bonefish. It is not uncommon to catch 50-100 in a single day. Some of them approaching 4 feet long! Not to mention the drag screaming runs and the occasional Jump. If you would like to try this out be sure to use a trace of Steel leader (6-12inches long) so their massive teeth dont claim your $5 lure
