May 20, 2016 Report

Roberto jumped aboard today with fly rod in hand as he is a fly fisherman from Chile. We had really nice conditions although a little bit of a breeze kept things sporting but we were able to target a number of different species and I was able to show him the critical double haul. Our first spot had some rolling tarpon but we could not get them to eat a fly as they have been picky as of late. Second spot he had plenty of shots at cruising Tarpon but again those proved to be impossible to hook. However, along the way he caught snappers and some jacks to break-in the strip strike technique that we use in salt water. Moving down to the Bonefish flats the first flat proved to be a gold mine with school after school after school of tailing Bonefish, mudding Bonefish and cruising Bonefish. After about an hour Roberto had about 12 to 15 shots at these fish but still learning the double haul he was not able to get it out far enough. But that being said, we did have a couple of Bonefish track to fly but came too close to the boat and spooked off. We wrapped up the day on a shallow water shipwreck where Roberto again caught a few different and new species.
