March 16, 2014 Report

Joe and brother Kevin were in town from PA on their way to Key West. We had a great time last time we fished about two years ago and Joe was the one with all the catches. This year was different. Fishing started slow with a snook taking a swipe at a soft plastic bait we were tossing but missing the hook. Later Kevin landed a trout on soft plastic but it was eerily quite in spite of the 20+MPH winds. We looked for bonefish and found none. However, once the tide turned the fishing picked up big time and Kevin and Joe had several shots at bonefish but the primary target was shark on the flats. With a six footer coming close but not eating we were driven crazy by the number of sharks that came to the boat but did not eat. Finally one moves in, Kevin makes a good cast and lets it sink to the bottom. The sharks body language changes and I hear, "I'm on!". The reel starts to scream and a while later Kevin scores his shark on the flats. There were other fish landed during our trip, all landed by Kevin. Now it's Kevin 1, Joe 1. Let's see who breaks the tie next time! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com
