Cindy Garrison and her camera crewfilming on Mango Creek Lodge's panga
The month finished in a whirlwind with a full house of anglers hooking up on our flats. Cindy Garrison, host of ESPN’s Get Wild with Cindy Garrison, joined us with a camera crew to learn more about Mango Creek’s environmental and conservation initiatives and to try her luck with our bonefish. Look for future reports about Mango Creek’s inclusion in Cindy’s future projects! Gord and Cathy Joyce returned to the lodge for their third visit. William and Will Talley kept everyone smiling with their great humor and incredible photography. And Sue and Bill Martin showed us how fishing should be done. Read more about this group’s luck on the flats in our July fishing report.
July also presented us with a new responsibility: training a baby parrot. Pita is a sweet little bird who is also a bit mischievous. Patrice, a Mango Creek Lodge owner, adopted Pita while she was here earlier in the year and worked hard to tame and train her.

Pita is already talking and has developed a fondness for sitting on people’s heads. We work with her daily, and she has become very loving. She likes to sit on her perch in the restaurant and welcome returning fishermen with a friendly “hello.”
