The daily schedule is flexible, so discuss your plans with the lodge staff every day. Most anglers choose a schedule that takes advantage of the best time to spot bonefish and permit on the flats, generally between 8:00am and 3:30pm. Before 8:00am and after 3:30pm, the angle of the sun produces a glare, making fish more difficult to see.

One option is to start fishing between 8-8:30am and stay out , at your discretion, until 3:30pm. Guests aren't charged for fishing beyond 7 hours, but bear in mind that poling the boats is physically demanding. The guides can't be expected to fish much more than 7 hours unless they have a midday break, and they should be tipped accordingly.

The second altenative is to start fishing between 8-8:30am and return to the lodge for lunch; take a siesta, go for a swim, of surf cast until 2:00pm, when you can meet the guide at the dock. You can then fish nearby until 4-4:30pm.
