September 2010
Fall is finally here and temperatures have dropped just enough to keep it comfortable. The breezes associated with fall are also here and although they make some of the fishing more difficult, the permit fishing can be the best during these few months.
The beginning of September markes the Redbone S.L.A.M. tournament in Key West. This two day tournament is preceded by a one day Super Fly tournament.
Once again I had the priviledge of fishing with Cal Collier, Jr. of Atlanta, GA and Dave Collier of Greenwich, CT. These two brothers share a passion for fishing and they know how to make it fun at the same time.
We had several great opportunities and did land a few fish over the course of the tournaments. It wasn't enough to keep our title as Grand Champs of the Super Fly but there is always next year.
For a difficult fishing tournament there were still a number of tarpon, bonefish and permit released. The Redbone is one of the most successful tournaments in raising money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.
The last day of the S.L.A.M. we were fortunate to have the outdoors crew from ESPN spend the day watching us fish. We didn't disappoint them and landed one great size permit. The show should air sometime in the next few months, look for it on ESPN Outdoors.
As we get ready for October the permit and bonefish should stay strong on the flats. A number of large permit also show themselves on the flats again making it possible to nab a fish of a lifetime here in the Florida Keys.
