March 6th 2018 Report (Tarpon Video!)

Bob had fished with me back on December 29 and now he had referred his co-worker and boss Mike to fish with me as well. So Mike and his 13 year old son Slate jump in the boat and wanted to target Tarpon, Bonefish or permit. Having a half-day to work with and some awesome conditions how can you pass up Tarpon during Tarpon season. The first spot I only found a couple fish but the second spot was a mother load as we hooked up immediately on about a 150 lb fish. Unfortunately the hook broke and we lost the fish but it was early on in the trip. Not too long later the rod doubled over and Mike was on to about a 140lb fish that gave us a lot of big jumps and after hard fought 30 minute fight we got the fish next to the boat for a quick picture and a release. We ended the day with some trout action so the guy could take something home to eat and enjoyed a great day on the water today Capt.

From Minnesota came Jared and his father-in-law Kent for full day. Of course we had to target tarpon and found quite a few but they had lock jaw. Changing it up quite a bit they caught some sea trout and we also lost two sharks and had a nice day on the water with some action on different species.

March 4, 2018 Report (Tarpon video!)

Chris is a regular local client of mine and he brought along Blue and Sheridan. Turns out Sheridan had never caught a fish before so she was in for a big surprise. We pulled up to the first tarpon spot and found a bunch of fish which eventually turned on and we got a double header on with blue and Sheridan both hooked up. Unfortunately for Blue, hers jumped off on the first jump but Sheridan kept hers on and was in for her epic fight. After a long brutal fight we had the tarpon next to the boat only to have 12 to 13 foot hammerhead try to eat her tarpon. At this point we got the leader release and sent it off while chasing the shark and save the tarpon. Having to use the restroom, I took them to a waterside restaurant so we had breakfast together and then wrapped up the day catching a bunch of trout on the grass last. It was a great day with great people and I always enjoy fishing with these guys. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

March 2, 2018 Report

Mike and Diana are from Pennsylvania, Philly to be more exact and once I congratulated them on beating the Patriots dianna confessed that she's a recovering Patriots fan. Well enough with that, we tarpon fished first thing in the morning but didn't hook any so we changed it up and caught a few hogfish, which was a big deal because Mike had never caught one and it actually is difficult to catch them on hook and line, along with sharks. We ended the day targeting more Tarpon but didn't hook any.

March 1, 2018 Report (Tarpon video!)

Well it's officially spring time and tarpon season is underway and thankfully for Joe and Ana they were the benefactors of that today. Joe had mentioned he wanted to target Bonefish but also wanted to catch something for dinner and with 6 hours to work with I had to squeeze in a little bit of tarpon fishing as well so we went to the grass flats where Joe had a blast catching a bunch of sea trout keeping some for dinner. With that under our belt we went down to the bonefish flats where he had a bunch of shots at big mudding bonefish. Ending the trip at a tarpon spot, Joe got a bite and a hook-up and he played around with an 80 lb tarpon before the hook came free and we lost Joe's tarpon. He admitted to me he is now addicted and can't wait to come back and do it all over again. Way to go Joe! Capt.

I was itching to get on the water and redeem myself from my last trip so with Simon from France nestled in the boat we had a great time catching trout, sharks, snapper, jacks and more. Yeah, it's definitely David's boat!

I'm starting to think David's boat is going through a slump. Today we jumped on his boat and there was nothing alive in Biscayne bay. Hmmmm, not sure about this. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing
