Capt. Eric Herstedt - Flamingo

There are plenty of fish to be caught despite the windy conditions. Live baiting is the prefered method under the gusty conditions, but if can get out early or luck into a non-windy day, fly-fishing will be very productive. Snook have been very active in the backcountry. Try exploring the mangrove shorelines with a Dalberg Diver or a Bendback. Pay particular attention to sections with running water such as a creek mouth. Baitfish will gather here and so will the Snook. Fishing for Sea Trout is excellent this time of year. Use a Chartreuse & White Clouser or a Dink Popper in the potholes on the grass flats. Oceanside flats are productive for Redfish and Black Drum during the calm spells.
