The first month of the new year has been a bit different, some cold days, plenty of rainy days and lots of windy days. With that we persevere and constantly change our game plans. The biggest plus for me and other south Florida guides is we have a couple great places to fish when conditions hurt your plans. This time of year we get plenty of S.W. To N. W. winds which allow us to fish the beaches from Haulover to Government Cut for Tarpon. If the winds are blowing hard out of the easterly direction that means Flamingo down in Everglades National Park is an option, especially on the weekends. We always have a place to fish even when the winds reach the 30+ range.
The fishing can be good from deep in the Flamingo back country for Snook or right off of Miami Beach for big Tarpon. The afternoon Tarpon bite is good an will continue thru June off of Miami Beach. The daytime fishing on Miami Beach can be productive as well for numerous species. The good bite coincides with spring break and mild temperatures. If you find this interesting and would like to give it a try give me a call at 305 333 8149.
