2021 Happy New year! Hope you’ve all had an awesome holiday!
Wind has been the word for the past week. A front came in on Tuesday and it has been blowing ever since. According to the weather man its supposed to slow down later today and next week looks great. The wind makes fly fishing very difficult. Though we had one good day on fly, most days we left the long rods at the dock this week and focused on spin gear and live bait.
This week we spent in the back country of the Everglades fishing mangroves and deep channels. If the wind didn’t make it difficult enough, the ultra low tides definitely did. This moon phase we lost a lot of water making it difficult to get to certain areas, some spots were simply off limits. The plus side is if you can find deep water and a bit of current you can usually make something happen. We were able to get into a few more monster black drum, snook, reds, and even some triple tail.
This week looks good with wind coming down and the low tides starting to come back to normal. I have availability this month so feel free to give me a call and we’ll get on the water.
