Got a great report from Willi Loehman of Fort Collins, Colorado and Jeff Miller of Greenville, North Carolina about their recent trip to Acklins. They stayed with Fedel and Erika at their Acklins Outback Fishing Lodge and according to Willi and Jeff “were very impressed with Fedel and Erika and their friendly, comfortable family style lodging and meals.” Though their trip centered around DIY bonefishing, they took Fedel up on his offer and went after tarpon for one day. It’s a bit of a secret spot, so to fish it you will have to book a day with Fedel. But what a great way to shake up a trip. They saw and cast to around twenty fish but only ended up landing two. One was approximately five pounds and the other in the twenty pound range. The fish didn’t seem interested in Toad flies but the traditional Cockroach style in black and purple did the trick, size #2/0. So on your next trip to Acklins, throw in some tarpon flies and leaders, you just might need them. Thanks for the report guys.
