Weather here in the Lower Florida Keys, continues to be warm and pleasent. We have only had one minor cold front this winter. Temperatures dropped into the high 60s a few nights... our current day time temperatures have been mid 70s to low 80 degrees.. Which makes for some good fly fishing.. The tarpon fishing has been very good this month. Been finding them rolling along the shorelines out of the wind. Gurglers are my go to fly when the are rolling.. I love watching the surface eats!
Been finding a few bonefish, snook and redfish on the flats too.. It is that time of year and the large barracuda are have started to show up on the flats in good numbers,,
Got to fish with Mark this month too! He is my longest regular client..

Got to fish with Mark this month too! He is my longest regular client.. We have been fishing together since I started guiding in the Keys over 20 years ago.
Weather was warm, sea was flat and fly fishing for baby tarpon was good.. Mark hooked a bunch of tarpon..
The next day we fished for redfish and bonefish.. Got some shots at a bonefish and caught a redfish. While Mark was fighting the redfish a shark came in an ate the tail off it, before we could get it in the boat. (I am eating the rest of it tonight)
The shark kept circling the boat looking for the rest of his meal.. I gave Mark a fly rod rigged with wire for sharks.. Shark ate it on the first cast..
Fun day!
Tyler told me one of the dreams on his bucket list was to catch a tarpon on fly.
Ta Da!
Love helping dreams come true...
David from Toronto is new to fly fishing but hooked quite a few and landed his first Tarpon on fly.
Got to fish with some of my buddies this month as well.. Nice having some days off to scout
some new spots and some places we had not fished in years. Fly fished for tarpon, bonefish and caught barracudas too.
Fun stuff!
Here are some photos of the last few weeks.
Happy Holidays!
