As March fades into April the waters are getting warmer. Right now we are at the end the dry season. By May we should be getting daily isolated thunderstorms and rain on the daily. All the more reason to make sure you have good rain gear. A good Gore-Tex Jacket and light rainproof pants make an otherwise uncomfortable day into a good time. April is a great time to target peacock bass, mayan cichlids, oscars, and largemouth trapped in ponds and canals as the lower water level in the glades congregates them into deeper areas. I run trips into the interior of the glades this time of year but those are all canoe based trips only. Down in Flamingo this time of year I often catch sea trout but also Snook and tarpon. The fishing out of the canoe is also usually red hot. Redfish are also a possibility. Over this past week I had the pleasure of running two NMZ trips that went fantastic. We left the dock in the dark to make it to the launch point right at sunrise. The bugs weren't bad because the wind was blowing 20kts. I was able to put my clients on lots of snook and they had a blast. The next day right after a really bad front pushed through I went out with a different group and they managed to land a 8-10 year old snook along with many other smaller ones. It was also a pleasure to guide one of them to their first ever tarpon on fly. Check out the pictures and videos to prove it. I highly recommend booking a NMZ trip this time of year it is very good fishing.
