August 17, 2014 Report

Local angler Juan and his friend were aboard today to check out the flats and take a break from their usual offshore routine. We started with a calm morning and getting shots at bonefish, redfish and permit but the casts were off just a hair, enough to not allow a hook up. We switched to shark fishing and it was a Jaws fest! When the tide turned we were hooked up to big sharks every few minutes! We ended landing two in the 4' 5' and range as the others would break off, cut us off, cut through the wire, you name it, it happened. The day ended with a bang and we had a blast.

Local angler John hadn't fished Biscayne Bay in almost 20 years and he wanted to check it out once again. Today was an agonizingly slow day, not a good example of how the bay typically is. We saw some schools of bonefish but no hook ups and there were none where they typically hang out. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Jack, his son and son in law boarded my skiff today in search of bonefish. The morning was calm and quiet and we had numerous shots at bonefish and a few permit but no hook ups. The day ended on an oceanside flat with good current looking for bonefish but there were so many sharks, including BIG sharks in the 7-8' range, that rendered bonefishing impossible. We landed two sharks but no bones. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

August 12, 2014 Report

Daniel and Taryn from Georgia boarded early morning for a half day on the water. We arrived at our first spot and never had to move. There was some action from smaller snappers but Taryn quickly landed a nice mutton snapper putting the pressure on Daniel. Not long after he hooks an 80lb tarpon but cut us off a few minutes later on a piling. Again the rod goes off and this time we close the deal on a nice resident tarpon about 50lbs. Once gain the rod doubles over and Taryn is on to another in the 50lb range. With the fish next to the boat about to be landed he makes on giant jump 6' in the air and breaks her off. Urgh. What a morning!

Carlos spend his birthday on my skiff fishing Biscayne Bay on a gorgeous summer day. We started early and had shots at schools of tailing permit and rolling baby tarpon. Carlos made a perfect cast to a nice permit moving in but the fish ate before the hook could be set. Ouch. The tarpon would chase our lures but swim away at the last moment. Double ouch. The day ended shark fishing the flats and hooking 8 big sharks, some 7' plus, only to lose all but one smaller one. Super moon=super wierd.

Regular client David was on board for two days of fishing with his friend Eran. Day one we fished Biscayne Bay and the fishing was a bit slow courtesy of the coming super moon. We did land quite a few mutton snappers but they weren't the usual 5-7lbers. Day two we were in the Everglades and we got into baby tarpon and redfish and the bites were hard to come by. We did land a snook which was a first for Eran. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

August 7, 2014 Everglades Report

Aboard today was Grant and we were in pursuit of sight fishing super shallow water tailing redfish. The morning was just awesome with low water, calm winds and over a hundred tailing redfish all around us. We struck gold and switched gears after the water levels got too high. We ended the day losing two big sharks and landing one about 4'.
