Fishing Report Mid February

It is for sure a day to be putting together a fishing report. Its in the mid 50's outside and tonight is forecast to be the coldest day of the year. The fishing has been very good though. In fact by tomorrow afternoon it is supposed to warm up into the 70's. It won't be long before the Tarpon start showing and I'm ready for them.

In the meantime we are keeping ourselves plenty busy catching lots of Reef fish and some nice Snook and Reds in the backcountry of Everglades National Park. We took a short trip to Belize last week and I was lucky enough to release a nice Permit on my Fox fly rod. What fun to be on the front end of the boat with my own guide! My anglers have been using Fox Sport Fishing Diablo 350 spinning reels to make their catches this past week. We have also been using the Bonefish Trek 4 piece travel rod series and the Fox Rage light rods. Fishing with ultralight tackle on the reefs takes fishing to a whole new dimension. Very challenging and rewarding when you do catch a big Grouper or Barracuda.

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.
