HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND TO ALL MORE HOOKUPS IN 2010!!!
The Fishing Report. Feb. 22, 2010. Cold water due to record low temperatures this winter has stifled the bite. There have been few good fishing days this winter, however we are optimistic going forward into the Spring months that a significant warm up will bring the fish onto the flats again. In the meantime, there have been many opportunities to fill the fly boxes with new patterns for 2010. When the weather warms up again, we should be able to find some more Cobia, Barracuda, Permit, Bonefish and Tarpon. Here is a nice Cobia caught in January.
Despite the January cold spell, we are still catching baby Tarpon in the creeks!
Here is an 11 pound Tarpon jumping this morning for angler Hank. The Tarpon was fooled with a Tarpon Cheeseburger fly.
December featured some great Bonefish and Permit fishing. Here is Dave McComb with a beautiful Permit.
We also had some good baby Tarpon fishing during December. Here is a jumping baby attached to Dan Hefle.
This past fall there were lots of Permit on the flats, as our weather was quite mild.
Here is a 24 pound Permit and a 6 pound Bonefish taken by Atlanta Braves star lefty Tim Hudson. Tim and his wife Kim celebrated their 10th anniversary here in the Keys. Good luck to them, they are a great couple!
An early run of migrating Tarpon is expected in the near future as weather warms up here in the Keys! Here is a December migrating Tarpon taken.
There are also some resident Tarpon available.
Grand Slam fishing is available during this winter and upcoming spring season, so if you are still after that elusive first Permit or Tarpon or Bonefish, now is the time! Call me and let's set up your March trip! Toll Free: 877-228-8497, or 305-745-3304.

Turneffe Flats, Belize, July 10-17, 2010.
"Turneffe Flats has the magical combination of outstanding flats fishing at your doorstep, modern and comfortably appointed lodgings, and a staff that feeds you great meals and cares for your every need like you are family. Spend a week at Turneffe Flats and you won't want to leave!" - Capt. Dexter Simmons.
For an incredible week of flats fishing in an unforgettably gorgeous tropical island location, join Capt. Dexter and his angler friends on this Belize trip July 10-17, 2010. Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit are all available at the exotic tropical paradise of Turneffe Flats. The fishing for tailing Bonefish is incredible. There is a wadable flat just 20 feet from your bungalow with tailing Bonefish and Permit. On several days I caught Bonefish before breakfast! The Permit around Turneffe are plentiful and easier to catch than Florida Keys Permit.
The Tarpon are also found rolling in nearby channels and creeks to complete your grand slam fishing at Turneffe. And to top it off, Turneffe Flats is giving us a great deal!!! 6 Full Days of Fishing, 7 Nights of very comfortable Lodging and great restaurant quality meals (3 per day) for $2643 (tax included) per person (about 28% off the normal double occupancy rate!).Click here to check out a video of Turneffe Flats, Belize!

Moon Calendar!
Check out phases of the Moon for your future Fishing Trip. Remember, you want a Full Moon or a New Moon for the best fishing,
because the tidal currents are strongest during those phases. Our Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit feed more actively during these "Spring Tide" phases. The fishing is best 1,2,3,4 or 5 days before, during and after the full or new moon.
Fall Bonefish Season!
This lovely lady landed this handsome Bonefish on a spectacular day in the Florida Keys backcountry.
