October 1, 2016 Report
Ian and his friend were in town for a conference and skipped the afternoon session to hit the flats. With fly rods in hand we bonefished on our half day trip. Conditions started off really nice and great visibility but started to deteriorate half way through the trip. During the time we could see the bonefishing was slow and as the tide got higher I stuck to the shallowest water I could find to no avail. By the time we headed in the conditions had gotten worst.

Mike and I have fished before and today we were going to go bonefishing. Conditions were good so we started off fishing close to the marina to get some other species in the boat first before committing to bonefish. The snook spots were slow and we found a few tarpon with lockjaw but managed to catch a few other species. Running down to the bonefish flats it got really good with lots of bonefish swimming through. We had a ton of shots at bonefish but didn't hook any. They were acting extra spooky today and even a cast 8 feet in front of them would spook them. There were several times where Mike made solid casts and the bones would cruise around the shrimp and ignore it. As frustrating as that was my only explanation is that they were keyed in on something else other than shrimp.

September 28, 2016 Report (Snook)
Those of you that read my reports often have heard of my client and friend David since we fish very often together. Well, I had the pleasure of fishing with him again today and he brought his friend Peter along. Peter was great and while the action started slow for snook, our second spot was a hit with Peter and David catching a bunch of nice jacks and David landing a solid snook. The trip ended on the flats were we sight cast a nice spinner shark only to have him break us off and being ignored by another shark we were sight casting to.

I've known Mike for almost 30 years and some way or other we have always stayed in touch. Well, after 2 years of planning we finally got together and took his grandson out for a morning of getting 9 year old Nick on some fish. Arriving at a shallow shipwreck the action was immediate and consistent with Nick (and Mike) catching big blue runners, mangrove snapper and mutton snapper. Looking for larger fish I took them down to a few spots north of Key Largo but short muttons is what we landed. We ended the day with Nick having caught a bunch of fish and singing a song as he drove the boat. Can't beat an ending like that!

This afternoon trip was with Alex and his client friend and we hit the flats for bonefish. The fishing was certainly shut down only seeing one mudding bonefish. Visibility was good for the first part of the trip but deteriorated as a major storm was brewing over the mainland and eventually blocked out all the light.

A made a new friend today in local angler Jeff. This trip held a special meaning for him and I wanted to make sure it was a great trip. I am always humbled and honored when someone chooses me to be their captain for a trip that holds special significance to them. The morning portion was on fire with countless shots at bonefish in super skinny slick calm water. As soon as the tide began to come in the fishing shut down and we struggled the rest of the day but did manage to catch a few sharks along the way.

September 14, 2016 Report (Bonefish Video!)
We were on a mission today, really we were. Luke is a scientist with UMASS working with the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust, an organization that I am proud to be a member of. Our goal today was to catch bonefish is South Biscayne Bay, get a fin clip and draw blood for a DNA study. The goal of the study is to determine if pollution and other man made environmental factors are affecting the DNA of our bonefish. Right off the back we hooked 5 and landed 2. With samples taken we released the bones and ended the day with a shot at a big permit and covered by mudding bonefish.
