Trip Summary

Summer is my favorite time of the year to fish Flamingo. The bugs, rain, and heat tend to keep other boats off the water and that means less pressure and phenomenal consistent fishing. On top of that it just seems like the more rain we get the more energized the fishing gets. The snook bite has been great around the full moon. We caught double digit numbers of snook, redfish, and even finished the day off with a cooler full of mangrove snappers to cook up at the restaurant. The rain is a welcome relief from the heat and there's no bugs on the water just on land. The sharks have been really bad lately so reeling fast and getting the fish in quick is necessary this time of year.
