It was another beautiful day here at Casa Blanca Fly Fishing Lodge in Mexico. Jerry and I are living like kings and I won’t deny, it’s pretty dang nice. After breakfast we met Pato and headed back out on the flats.
Despite what seemed like a perfect day on the flats, the fish weren’t as active as we’d have liked. We started with the usual of poling the flats for permit with no action – again. Then we hunted bonefish. We found plenty but they were tiny today. I’m spoiled but these bones were small even for Mexico.
Once we finished with bonefish we headed back to the snook and tarpon mangroves. Surprisingly, they were slow too. We couldn’t find a single snook or tarpon. I began blind casting and yanked this little jack crevalle from a deep tough amongst shallow flat but that was it.
Saltwater fly fishing can be tough sometimes. Today was a prime example. Jerry and I caught only the baby bonefish and my jack. But honestly, it’s the fact that I’m easily humbled that I love about salt water.
We’re right back at it in the morning and we’ll see how it goes. For now its off to what I suspect will be another great meal. . . . .
NOW Christmas is coming fast! Be sure to check out my store for Gifts for the Angler that has everything. Fish mugs, shirts and visit here for decals. There’s still time to order Cliff Fly Boxes and art as well. But don’t wait too long. I leave Thanksgiving for another salty adventure to end the year!
