South Florida Fishing Report
May 8, 2008
Captain Rich Smith has been seeing bones and
permit all over Biscayne Bay of late. Large
schools of permit are showing up inside
Midnight Pass and on the snake leading into
Caesar's Creek. Cutter
Bank has been the most consistent for
bonefish. Fishermen staked off at Curtis Point
reported seeing a few schools of tarpon
heading south, but the fish were apparently
not in an eating mood. Rich and his
clients also had some fun the other day with
lemon and blacktip sharks in the 5-9 foot range. These are great for begining fly fisherman that want to eventually become expert Tarpon Fly Fisherman. Sharks do everything that a Tarpon will but only a little slower. Fly rods in the 10-12 Weight with a little trace of steel will do the trick. All you would have to do is filet up some fresh Baracuda to attract the sharks in front of the boat.
