This afternoon, Aaron and I will drive to Islamorada. We will get a hotel room, tour the dark taverns, and eat fried food. Tomorrow we will wake up early, meet Andy at the ramp. We will run to the Everglades as the sun is rising, and it will be warm. There won’t be much wind,…

Tomorrow Aaron and I leave for the Everglades, once again fishing with Captain Andy Thompson. The weather forecast looked dodgy until yesterday, but at the moment the weather looks good and the fish are where we want them. A report will surely follow, as well as (hopefully) pictures. If ever there was a time when…

A fair amount of wind has arrived, and the ishore fishing is a little spotty at the moment as a result. Forecasts call for it to continue until Wednesday (12 October), the day I have scheduled to go the Everglades and continue pursuing the six with Aaron and Captain Andy Thompson. At this point, I’m…

Yesterday a rather large storm sat on Key West for a few hours. Aaron emailed me a few photos he took from his window as the lightning lit things up. It’s beautiful today, and if things go according to plan I’ll have some more fish pictures up tomorrow as the weather might allow some evening…

On Thursday I fished again with Captain John O’Hearn and Ted Margo. On Tuesday, while talking with Ted on the dock, I had dropped my glasses into the water at the ramp, and despite 10 minutes of diving and feeling with my toes on the bottom I had given up hope. Thursday began with a…

Yesterday I was invited to fish with Ted Margo and John O’Hearn. We fished from Big Pine and, despite the intermittent rain showers that plagued us early on, had a great day on the water. When we first got out to the flats, Ted had a shot at a few fish over white sand. The…

After inventory, which took a few days and kept me from doing much else besides counting things, Angling Company Reports is back on line. The fishing remains stellar to say the least, and guides are reporting large numbers of bonefish and permit on the flats in addition to the typical groups of smaller tarpon that…

At the moment, the fishing is off the proverbial chain. I don’t know when it will return to the links, but before it does here’s encouraging you to get out and take advantage of the incredible bonefish and permit fishing that’s going on. Even the snook are getting in on the action, as Tom Beatty…

Bonefish and permit abound. Get out there and catch them! Regards, ncl/tac

Yesterday, Cal Collier, Jr. and Captain Justin Rea won the Superfly with a total of 2 bonefish, 2 tarpon, and a permit to round out the slam. Second place went to Mo Smith, fishing with Captain Mark Krowka, who landed two tarpon and three (yup, 3!) permit on fly. The Angling Company would like to…
