April 2, 2017 AM & PM Reports

AM Report My morning trip was with Ken and his 2 boys Heath and Cole and the goal was steady action. We ran over to the Port of Miami where we caught a few fish but nothing spectacular however Heath was in for a nice surprise when he hooked up to a nice black tip shark on light tackle and the boys had to tag team the shark to get it to the boat. We tried tarpon fishing for about a half-hour and although they were rolling around all around us we did not get a bite and the kids decided action was a better course. We wrapped it up over the grass Flats where they caught some trout and finished off the day on a high note.
PM Report my afternoon trip was with Scott from Maryland who is a regular client of mine. We tarpon fished for a little bit but the boat traffic on a Sunday afternoon in Biscayne Bay was too much to handle so we decided to run south of fish the flats for sharks. On the flats there was a lot of activity but the action was slow never the less we hooked two sharks one on light tackle that absolutely smoked the real and landed a nice lemon shark to wrap up the day.

April 1, 2017 April Fools Tarpon/Permit

Some guys know how to party and Steve from Canada is one of those guys. Staying in Miami on his bachelor party all he wanted to do was fish. Steve was first up and the first bite of the day was a 40lb permit. Dang Steve! Second bite was for Peter and he landed a 160-170 lb tarpon. Dang Peter! Angelo was up and we changed it up since the guys wanted to catch a few trout. A few trout were caught but Angelo hooked and lost a big 150lb tarpon but lost it on the first jump. The day ended with one last tarpon shot.

This was brothers Will and Carter's first saltwater fishing trip and with a slow tarpon bite, I decided to get them on some other species. They caught some mutton snappers, bar jacks, horse eye jacks, trigger fish and then ended with a blast on sharks.

The Bonefish Bonnies tournament was on the agenda today with Jeannie and Linda. Fly fishing only the bonefishing was tough but got better as we worked north. While we didn't land any, the ladies had quite a few shots including shots at a couple of schools of 50-60 fish each. Capt.

Scott and Dan joined me today and we spent the first couple of hours Tarpon fishing on fly and with bait but no bites. We fished a bunch of spots and caught some fish in both but it was generally slow today. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

March 25. 2017 Report

Alain is a regular client and he brought his son and brother Jean to brave some tough conditions. We caught some bait and hit the flats for sharks where they hooked 7 and landed 1. Unfortunately every time Jean touched a rod the shark would come off. The only shark landed was by Ethan. Sorry Jean!

March 22, 2017 AM & PM Reports

AM Report Joe and his wife Carol boarded wanting to bonefish. Turns out my poling platform broke on the run to the flats so we chummed for bones unsuccessfully and I risked life and limb poling a bit. They had a couple of shots at bones and a tailing permit but no hook ups. We ended up on a wreck where Carol out fished Joe. Sorry Joe! PM Report Charles and his son jumped on and we sped off to take advantage of great Tarpon conditions. We found a ton of fish but They had lock jaw so we hit the grass flats and They caught a ton of trout. Nice work guys!
