What an ordeal Chris had to experience today just to get to the boat ramp but he made it after a 3 hour delay and I wanted to make sure we accomplished our goal, his first bonefish. With 20MPH east winds and storm clouds overhead we pressed on with our half day trip. Arriving at our first flat was all it took. A few minutes after setting up the rod doubles over and the drag screams. Well, it was an angry shark not a bonefish. The next bent rod was different and a few long strong runs later, silver flashed before our eyes and into our landing net. Mission accomplished! What a thrill for me to lead clients to their first catches and today was exceptional. Congrats Chris! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

What a gorgeous day we had today. Ahead of an approaching cold front, Peter, Bridgett and Hyung experienced slick calm conditions all day and clear skies. What a difference from yesterday! We started bonefishing and had shots at several schools but no hook ups. Moving to the oceanside flats, they tag teamed landing a nice bonnet head shark and a nice bonefish moved in but ignored our offering. The day ended at a creek with a swarm of fun snappers a few feet away bending rods almost the instant their shrimp landed in the water. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Dean from Texas climbed aboard today for some rod bending action on Biscayne Bay. We started under partly sunny skies and a steady 20-23 MPH wind. We sought shelter from the wind all day and did well with only a couple of spots not producing. The morning started with a trout on the first cast and the action continued steady all morning. The highlight was a tarpon in the 70lb class engulfing Dean's plastic shrimp and giving us two awesome jumps before spitting the hook!! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Yury and Ivan were back on board today for another day on the water. The day was starkly different from Wednesday, we had close to 30MPH winds and the water was muddy. With some live pilchards we chummed up mackerel but had cut offs and missed strikes. We ended the day releasing snapper and missing a few more strikes. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Yury and his son Ivan from the U.K. were aboard today to get a little fishing while on vacation. The fishing started slower than I would like but turned on as the tide started to drop. Once again, we went through over 50 baits with rods doubling over every 30 seconds after being placed in the rod holders! I love winter time in Miami! Ivan was excited at having broken his previous record of fish caught in a day. That always makes my day! They'll join me on Friday for another day of rod bending action. Capt.

Local resident Orlando gave himself a bonefish charter for Christmas and I wanted to make sure he would "unwrap" his Christmas present early. We started by fishing in South Biscayne Bay and catching trout on soft plastics as we waited for the tide to turn and give us the best current flow for bonefishing. Once the time was right we headed to the oceanside flats and didn't move from one flat for the rest of the trip. As I got us into position we spooked a few bones and I knew the flat would be productive. The next five hours were spent taking shot after shot at big single bonefish, doubles and schools of 3-5 fish. Orlando was able to get this bonefish to the boat on a big live shrimp and I was very happy for him. Merry Christmas Orlando! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Joey from Ft. Lauderdale was on-board today with much calmer early morning winds than forecasted. We took advantage of the light winds and fly fished for trout in the morning and had success. We caught trout on fly and soft plastics as well as a few mangrove snappers that sneaked in as well. As the winds picked up we moved to fish the finger channels and had a blast catching a number of mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, yellow tail snapper and big porgies. When we pulled anchor to head back to the dock we had gone through 50 baits, not counting the earlier fish we landed on artificials! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com
