Abaco Inshore Fishing Report and Forecast: June 2014

South Abaco Adventures will welcome June for its light winds from the southeast and warm water temperatures. Due to the beautiful weather that June brings, our target on the flats will be bonefish, permit, tarpons, muttonfish and the barracuda that are always there. We will troll the inshore waters for cubera snapper, amber jack and yellowtail.

Bonefish we will lure with 6- to 10-pound spinning gear and 8- or 9-weight fly rods with small pieces of conch meat or shrimp on the spinning gear. The toothy critters, with its sweet taste of meat that is always lurking on the flats and goes by the name of “the barracuda”, we will target with 15-pound spinning gear tipped with light green lures. June is also known for muttonfish.

The inshore waters will be trolled for cubera snapper, amberjack and yellow jack in 10- to 15-feet of warm water that the month June brings. We will use red and black skirts to entice them.

I hope that you will take the time to come visit us in Sandy Point to enjoy what we have to offer. Complete packages can be offered, ranging from ground transportation to accommodations, to meals during your South Abaco stay. I can be reached via email: tony@southabaco.com if you have any questions or need further information regarding our South Abaco inshore fishery.

Tight lines!
