Other Species

 
Barracuda, Jacks, & Sharks

At the top of the food chain, these tough flats predators offer some outstanding action on a fly or lure. They will strike anything that darts away from them in an injured manner. When hooked, they are some of the fastest and most powerful fish to be taken on light-tackle.
 
 
Tarpon

 

We do not find tarpon in our waters on a regular basis, but we certainly come across them from time to time. They range in size from 20# to 200#. Tarpon are the largest, strongest, and most acrobatic of flats fish. Even juvenile fish will put your angling skills to the test and strain your tackle.


 
Permit

 

We see permit on occasion. They are by far the most difficult, picky and frustrating fish you will encounter on the flats. Permit are very finicky about what they eat. The will often charge your fly, only to stop at the last moment and refuse it.

 

 
Tackle
 
A 10 weight rod and reel can be set up for barracuda, tarpon or permit. We suggest you bring your own flies as we stock only some crab patterns.
