Well anyone who has come down to fish the Keys the last few months has probaly been feeling the cooler than normal weather. Things do seem to be improving now as we head head into April and it starts to warm up. In between the fronts we have had some excellent fishing. Although many of the permit are a bit reluctant to eat a fly in the cooler water a live crab or shrimp is the way to go for these cold water fish. When the water temps reach a consistant 75 degrees it's time to grab the fly. The Tarpon fishing was very hit and miss in March. The ones we caught were all very large fish though.
Despite the cold water Joe Dilchnieder of Monatan Trout Stalkers spent a few days chucking the fly around with me in mid March. He was able to hook up with three nice permit and a 150 lb tarpon.
Joe Boland of Atlanta GA also achieved a carrer goal by catching his largets Permit on fly. This fish was a giant and measured 42 inches.and 36 pounds...Congrats Joe
Alan Smith of Miami FL alo had a fantastic day of early serason tarpon fishing feeding the giant tarpon on fly including a 150 plus pound mosnter boatside.
