Late Summer - Early Fall Bonefish and Permit Fishing

By Alex Zapata
The fishing for bonefish and permit has been solid in Biscayne bay. We have been finding a good amount of tailing fish in the early Morning hours and cruising/muding fish through the day. Eduardo joined me for a day of flyfishing in south Biscayne bay. We started the day looking for tailing fish and found a pod of 4 bonefish at the 2nd spot we hit. Eduardo placed a very good shot but the fish ignored our offering and spooked off. then we had 1 shot at a cruising permit that had better things to do rather than eating chicken feathers. Around mid day, we arrived to a flat with several fresh muds indicating the presence of fish in the area. We immediately started to spot bones and got rewarded releasing a nice 7lb silver bullet, taken out of good size school of muding fish. Then, we focused on permit, managing to get about 9 shots on fly but no takers. despite the lack of catching, that is a very good day of permit fishing on any flyfisherman's book. If you are up to the challenge of catching these beautiful and smart fish on the long rod, give me a call and I will be more than happy to help you conquer the quest!! {%image_id=50062%} {%image_id=50064%} {%image_id=50074%} {%image_id=50075%}
