June saw the end of the most difficult tarpon season I have been through. That being said I did have plenty of success with both spin and fly fishing. Crabs were the bait of choice, I used them in channels, under floats and sight fished with them. The early morning tarpon bite was good using a black dear hair fly. The afternoon I got most of my bites on light colored toads.

The permit fishing was fantastic during the new moon phase. During this time Key west was under a high pressure system with very light winds and plenty of sun. All the permit my clients caught were while wading for tailing fish.

I did not spend much time bone fishing but Roy Gibbs hooked 1 west of Key west while wading but it came off right before I went to land it. Looking back it would seem the barracuda fishing was quite good with many of my clients ccatching nice fish out of season.

Shark fishing is always good off of Key west with many of my clients catching lemon sharks. These fish are any where between 2 to 6ft long and will give a great fight.
