February 28, 2014 Report

After too many days at a conference in South Beach, Chris was looking forward to the day on the water we had booked weeks before. We had a late start as we waited for the rain and storms to pass through and it turned out to be the right move. We started by fishing for sea trout with soft plastics and landed dozens of them with several of them in the 20"-24" range, BIG trout by Miami standards. We then went off the beach in search of tarpon and while they were there, the conditions proved to be not to their liking and had lockjaw. Off to fish for snapper and grouper and we had a blast with hard pulling fish that barely gave us enough time to rebait hooks. Chris hooked three groupers, losing two to the bottom but finding redemption by finally getting one, a nice black grouper. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com
