October 21, 2018 Report

I was looking forward to this trip with my local angler and client Alec and getting an early start we caught some bait and targeted snook. With the tide being high the snook were deep into the mangroves and wouldn't come out. Once the sun was high we changed it up and targeted mutton snapper but the rest of the trip was slow with only snappers to show for it. Capt.

David is the cousin of a regular client of mine and wanted to catch sharks so David, Jessica and I were off and hit the flats right off the bat. The tide had just started to go out and it was slick calm with tons of sharks around. The sharks were finicky and wouldn't eat but David landed a nice barracuda along the way. We decided to cast net some bait that was being pounded by pelicans and with the live well full we hit a snapper spot where they caught some before we targeted bull sharks again. At the bull shark spot I put out a bait on a big rod and live chummed with the live bait, getting a ton of jacks exploding around the boat and keeping David busy for the few minutes before the bull shark hit. Once the bull shark ate, it was game on the we had to chase it down but deep into the run it broke us off. With just a few minutes left in the trip we kept targeting the sharks and jacks but only the jacks cooperated. David was in awe of the power and speed of the sharks and promised to come back for round two.

October 19, 2018 Report (Bull Shark Video)

Brooklyn transplants Henry and Joe headed out with me today and we switched it up and focused on catching dinner. With a livewell full of pilchards we hit a wreck and live chumming had the snappers coming to the surface and exploding on the baits. After catching their dinner and having a blast we made a change to target the species Henry has been wanting to catch, jacks. Arriving at the next spot proved the ticket as the guys immediately hooked up and had a number of double headers on jacks to the point one of them had to take a break since the action was non stop. I asked them if they wanted to target bull sharks and they decided to focus on jacks. Well, the bull sharks arrived and ate three of our jacks as the guys were fighting them. What a trip!

What a break in the wind today for Rich from MD. It has been blowing about 20MPH everyday yet today it was almost slick calm and we took advantage of the conditions and went fly fishing for bonefish. Right off the bat we had some shots at huge tailing bonefish, then a couple of permit and we ended the trip taking over 10 shots at a big single tailing bonefish in almost no water with it's dorsal and tail fins sticking out of the water. What a rush! Rich had a small bonefish track his fly but turn away at the last minute. Urgh! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

October 12, 2018 Report

David loves fishing and we were back on the water today with Barak. Barak had fished with us before so we were off to get bait. The goal was to fish offshore and so we did but the first spot we fished in 500' of water had so much current running through that we kept drifting through it before our baits could get into he strike zone. After a half dozen failed attempts we moved in shallower to 90' of water and we had the opposite problem. There was no current! Ok, what;s this all about? Moving a bit north and a bit deeper the current was sluggish but at least there was current. Immediately Barak hooks up and gets a nice fat mackerel next to the bot but it spits the hook before the gaff could come down on it. A few minutes later he was on again and this time there was no issues and a nice king fish comes aboard. Way to go Barak!

October 4, 2018 Report (Hilarious Video!)

I've fished with Henry before and today he brought his friend Jake along. They were running late since Jake's flight was delayed so we did hit the water until 2pm. With bait on hand and a strong east wind we decided to hit the flats and repeat my last trip with Henry. The first flat was slow but the second flat was on fire with Henry wanting to target barracuda and sharks. As soon as a bait hit the water Jake was on to a nice cuda and Henry was hot on his heels hooked up as well The action continued for a while until the guys decided to target the sharks that were around. With time running out we tossed a few baits in front of them but they would spook. With two circling around I tossed a bait and let it sit. After a few minutes Jake was on and the guys had to tag team the fish. When we got it next to the boat..... Well, you'll have to watch the video for the ending and enjoy these two guys from Brooklyn just have a blast! Capt.
