Other Fish Species

 

There are many other species that we go after, depending upon what’s biting and the time of year: snook, permit, jacks, cero mackerel, bonita (little tunny), snappers, barracuda, sharks and more!

Of course, permit are undoubtedly the most difficult fish here to catch on the fly.  Kind of like catching a unicorn.  Here, Capt. Drue and Capt. Adam show off Adam’s catch.

Evan Jones loves to catch bonita on the fly – and he ties some deadly bonita flies!

Fly fishing offshore is the best! It’s rare that we have the opportunity to do this, but if you visit in September or October, we may be able to put you on some mahi, tuna or billfish on the fly!
