February 9, 2017 Report (Tarpon Video!)

Day two with Alain and Ethan and the wind shifted a bit today and I figured it would improve the tarpon fishing, and it did! We found some fish rolling and happy as could be and willing to eat. On our first drift Ethan hooked a 120lb tarpon that gave him a great fight and some awesome jumps before spitting the hook. The rest of the trip we dedicated to catching different species and having a great time!

Alain and his son Ethan from France fish with me often and were in town for a couple of days of fishing. Today we mixed it up and caught a bunch of different species after spending a few hours looking for tarpon but not finding any. Towards the end of the trip I stared marking shrks on my Raymarine and these shark junkies couldn't help themselves so we ended the day shark fishing.

February 6, 2017 Report (Bonefish!)

Jeff and Mark were in town for a conference so what to do when you're in town? Heck, you go fishing! We worked our way South waiting for the tide to turn and in the process they caught trout, mackerel, hogfish and snapper as we were hunting for Tarpon. Once on the flats we focused on bonefish and Jeff got one as two big bones were working across the tide. Congrats Jeff!

February 4, 2017 AM & PM Report

AM Report My morning trip was with Jeff and his wife so off we went with fly rods in hand in search of bonefish. We worked a number of flats and had several shots at bones but no hookups. PM Report The afternoon trip was with repeat court Scott and his friend, also in search of bonefish on fly. The perfect visibility I had during my morning trip deteriorated causing us to delay bonefishing in hopes the cloud cover would clear. In the meantime we kept the rods bent on snapper and trigger fish. When the skies cleared and the tide turned we had a number of shots at bones but didn't hookup courtesy of Murphy's Law. Capt.

February 1, 2017 Report (Tarpon Video)

Kent is from Texas and he fished with me 2 years ago celebrating his birthday. Today he was in town for business and took a day to explore more of Biscayne Bay. The morning started with us tarpon fishing and hooking a solid fish in the 120lb range but it came off after the first jump. Urgh!! We moved to the flats since he wanted to catch a barracuda on the flats and began the search. Right off the bat there were schools of barrauda swimming around in 2 feet of clear water. Kent made a perfect cast to the group that was coming in and one of them ate the lure just feet from the bow of the boat. What a rush! A few long runs later the big ‘cuda came to the boat. Hitting a shallow shipwreck had Kent land a few grouper and losing a couple more to the structure. With the tide turning I decided to end the trip tarpon fishing and the decision paid off with Kent hooking another tarpon about 100lbs. After a long fight and a few majestic jumps later the fish was close to being landed when the hook broke! What?! URGH!!! What a way to lose that fish! A few drifts later over the same school didn’t result in another hook up and it was time to head in.

January 30, 2017 Report

Today I fished with regular client and friend David. He had a colleague in town and wanted to get him on some fish. A cold front had passed just two days prior keeping the best tarpon spot blown out with rough surf and a couple of other spots were void of tarpon. We decided to fish a channel that usually produces and while there were fish caught, I was dissapointed by what we caught. Trying to shark fish the flats proved slow so we called it a day aftert fishing one more spot and cathing a few jacks. Capt.
