Fishing in July has been very good with higher tides during the day. Water temps have been in the mid 80’s to 90 degrees. Trout fishing in the deeper wholes has been excellent fly fishing with Clouser minnow patterns in white/chartreuse and pink/chartreuse {Electric chicken}. We are also catching some decent snook to 25” s but most snook have gone offshore to the wrecks to spawn, although we have hooked a few monsters that have broken off or wrapped themselves so tightly into the Mangroves…
Redfishing is really rated excellent at present with catches of Redfish every trip on fly and also light tackle. HIgh water in the backcountry is finally here and makes access a lot easier to get to the key habitat that hold the Reds….
We are running into Jack Crevalle just about every trip and have good success on fly with lots of singing flyreels being normal.
Tarpon are still here in the backcountry and also on the beach but not in great numbers. We have had several eats and have jumped quite a few, but hook sets have been a little on the weak side…
Best fishing times are early morning…..6:30am is good starting time and fishing till about noon. Plenty of water onboard and a Bimini top really help cool things down….
Fishing is meant to be fun and easygoing…. Just let it happen naturally!!!
Tight lines,
Capt. Al
