2012: the lodge will be open April 28- June 28th. Also open one special week, March 18th.- 25th. (prime permit tides and early tarpon) Please consider redfishing with us in the Fall at our other lodge. |
|
| March: There is great fishing between the cold fronts of the winter, but very inconsistent and impossible to anticipate well in advance. But by March the permit are working the flats hard, feeding well, and in good numbers. Wind is preferable in their pursuit, but wind is frustrating for many anglers. March is usually very windy. When it blows we permit fish, and when it’s calm we tarpon fish. |   |
| Typically, the early tarpon migration begins in March, the biggest tarpon being the first to arrive. We often find them laying up, rather than moving hard like the later season. They eat well, and because of the colder water they don’t fight as long -great relief. | |
| April: Throughout the month of April a transition occurs when the large numbers of permit begin moving out to deep water to spawn, and the larger numbers of tarpon move in. There is also a lot of wind in April, but the fish are active. When the wind calms down, the fishing is really good, but it’s unpredictable. Later in the month the tarpon begin to move, travel across spots instead of laying up as much. The tarpon population steadily increases throughout the month. | |
| May: The rats are in! - the abundance of average 70-80 lb. tarpon working the flats hard and feeding in schools. There is also a good bit of wind in May, but much warmer conditions make the tarpon fishing good almost regardless. As it gets later, the fish school more, leading up to the palolo worm activity at the end of the month. | |
| June: May and June are almost reverse images of each other. “Worming” fish behavior marks the beginning of the month, tapering o ff from insane fishing to traditionally great tarpon fishing. The weather is windy, calm, rainy, hot and dry, everything. Toward the end of the month we begin to target permit again on certain tides. | |
| July: A transition occurs again as tarpon begin moving out throughout July and the numbers of permit increase on the flats. This is the only month not dominated by wind, at least in the past. July might be the most underappreciated time in our area. Tarpon fishing can be very good; the permit fishing is usually great, and it’s not as windy. -But it is hot. | |
