Islamorada Flats Fishing

Fish with Peter and Jim on Saturday in Islamorada. The weather was beautiful and the fish were cooperative. We spent most of our time on the flats. Peter was flyfishing and Jim was throwing a spinning rod. We caught snappers, jacks, yellow jacks, lemon sharks, and bonnet head sharks. We caught the sharks on the flats and we had great visual action. We also saw quite a few Tarpon on the flats. Peter had two bites and jumped one baby Tarpon on the flats. That was on the flyrod. Later on that evening Peter hooked and a nice Tarpon on the fly. I will post that picture on the next post. Pro Tip: Polarized glasses are great for seeing into the water. Since glare can come in at different angles, tilting your head from side to side will open up different windows of visibility into the water. Give it a try, you will be amazed at the difference in a little bit of head tilt will make when trying to see fish on the flats through your sunglasses.
