I ended this month super busy and closing it out in a big way. In Monday I had Nathan from East central Florida. He's been fishing with me for about 5 years now and dang it every time we fish either the weather stinks or the fishing is dead. Well, today the weather was great and with the moon phase I swore the Bonefishing would be on fire. Did you catch that? Anyway, it wasn't. We had a shot at tailing permit to start the morning and then silence for a while until we went Oceanside and fished the shoreline of an island that usually produces if not for the shear amount of water we can cover. Here Nathan had a few shots at bonefish crossing along the shore and they wouldn't eat. Then he spotted a single fish over rocks and reef. I poled him into position and he laid the fly just perfect, for a tiny barracuda to eat it in front of the bonefish. No! Then the little cuda jumps off, the fly drops and Nathan strips. That bonefish rushed the fly and ate it 15' from the boat. It was awesome and that was our first fish in 5-6 trips. Wow what a relief. Later on we fished another flat that has been producing at the end of the tide and sure enough they were there, just one school not the numerous schools I've been seeing but Nathan stuck a nice tailing bonefish before the end of the trip. It was awesome!!! Whew, now Nathan and I can concentrate on fishing since our curse is over.
On the last day of the month I fished with Supin and his parents neither of them had ever fished before. It was a two hour trip and they caught their first fish and plenty of jacks and snappers.
What a month it's been and the season is just starting. It's going to be a good season!
