FLAMINGO

by NestorAlvisa

As we get into summer and our temperatures warm up so too does the shing in Flamingo. During our summer months targeting snook and red sh along the Cape Sable and up the Coast is my favorite thing to do. I like to pull the boat up close to shore and use my trolling motor to slowly work along looking for snook cruising the surf. We might blind cast arti cials as there are o en sh that we can’t see. I like casting swim baits and jerk baits. ey are the best when working the beaches around Cape Sable and on up the coast. You can get in a lot of casts and cover a lot of ground verses live bait. is time of the year we also nd huge schools of permit still out in the gulf wrecks and springs. A live crab on a small jig head or shrimp pattern arti cial will work the best on these sh.

June o ers spectacular a ernoon shing just 10 minutes o the beach. Beat the heat and catch the best bite by shing the last few hours of daylight. Hungry black n tuna, kings, mahi, and sail sh are all great possibilities. ese will bite best on live pilchards just 2 miles o the beach in 90-250 of water. For an a ernoon delight, Rig 20 lb. out ts with 20-30 lb. mainline and 40-50 lb. 15-foot wind-on mono lament or uorocarbon leader. With an a ernoon sea breeze from the East, set up in 250 feet of water, and put out a spread on the upwind side of your boat. Fish a long atline, a short atline and a rod weighted to sit down about halfway to the bottom. Dri in to 90 feet and if your box is not full of black n tuna, mahi, and king sh, then do it again until you run out of daylight. Sail sh will be around too, expect bites from them shing this way. Good luck and GO HARD.
