Early morning and casting a fly just as the sun comes up has helped the fishing with the bite slowing down after 9 am when its bright with light winds. UNTIL NOW!! I have not had much competition where I have been fishing so that also helps. Luis St. Laurent has been fishing tarpon on fly for several more days with me, These are his hook up ratios, , a 3 for 6 day, a bad 0 for 6 day, a 1 for 3 day I am off several days due to bad weather or high winds. Most tarpon back there have been averaging 70 pounds some larger fish are also around, I prefer the medium size fish you get more shots and they are more schooled together. Last Saturday I shark Travis Bowling, Jared Hirshfield and Riley Roe from Colorado at Flamingo I caught 9 sharks on 12 bites. Jared caught the largest a 10 ft Lemon. The other sharks were blacktips and 1 bull got away. The Blacktips were from 5 to 7 feet. All sharks were caught on ladyfish. Good Luck Capt. Jim Hale 786-255-1788 www.floridasportfishingcharters.com
