June 6th 2018 Report

I was back on David's boat today but we had a completely different game plan from the usual. Although there have been Tarpon around it's been tough to get them to eat so we decided to get a Live Well full of pilchards and head offshore. We stopped off in a hundred feet of water put out two big live pilchards and began our drift and pretty quickly Peter hooked up to a nice 20 pound Kingfish that we got to the boat. On our second drift Julian hooked up and had a nice fight but the fish spit the hook close to the boat. On our third drift we had one of our baits get eaten but the fish didn't get hooked and with the current slowing down on us the fishing definitely slowed down. We decided to run offshore some more and look for weed lines, pallets, barrels any kind of debris that would hold bait dolphin but we didn't find any so we ran back insore and caught a couple of jacks before calling it a day. On the run in I quickly filleted up a big mangrove snapper and that big king fish and there will be some good dinner tonight!

What a coincidence, my guys yesterday were from Russia and today I had Rick with his brother in law Eagor which is also from Russia. Cool! We kept it moving today jumping from spot to spot picking up fish at almost every spot and tried some tarpon fishing was well.

Mixing it up was the key today as Gene wanted to fly fish and Paul wanted to use spin. Sot one held some small tarpon and jacks where the guys got a few jacks and missed the bite on a tarpon. Spot two held a ton of big tarpon but they wouldn't eat. Spot three was about the same and then off to the flats where it was slow and we finished the trip closer to the marina where we found some nice jacks and the guys had a blast.

George and his two boys Evan and Patrick were back on board today and the boys got worn out on snappers while George was throwing lures catching bar jacks and snappers. Using one of the snappers as bait we hooked and lost a massive barracuda. We ended the trip tarpon fishing a ton of tarpon with lockjaw.

June 1, 2018 Report (Tarpon Video!)

What a way to start June! The weather definitely has gotten back to normal and we had great conditions this morning as Patrick, Julie and their daughter Alysson jumped aboard for a half day. Spot number one was for tarpon but I only saw a couple of rolling fish so off to spot 2. Spot two proved to be the magic spot with us hooking up a double header right off the bat. Patrick hooked one about 150 as we saw a school finning on the surface and pretty active. As soon as Patrick hooked up Alysson's rod doubled over and she hooked up as well but hers got off immediately after the first jump. Chasing Patrick's fish I noticed something weird on the line and it turned out it was the rope attached to an abandoned crab trap. Unfortunately the line wrapped around the rope in such a way were the fish broke us off. We stayed another while but the fish had moved away so we did as well. We caught a few small trout and then Patrick decided he wanted another shot at Tarpon so off we went back to spot number two where we found some rolling fish. Julie hooked up almost immediately but handed the rod off the Alysson so her girl can fight a fish. After about 40 minutes the 130 lb Tarpon was almost done and Alysson decided it was time for Dad to have some fun as well so Patrick wrapped it up and we got the release on their biggest Tarpon to date. What a great way to end the day with some great people and an awesome way to start summer! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

May 29, 2018 Report

Wow, what a tough two weeks. We've had constant rain, wind and now tropical storm Alberto moved through yesterday. This has lead to a bunch of cancellations so I was glad to be working today. Dino and Vukan from Fishingbooker.com were aboard today and they are great guys. We really wanted to tarpon fish and used up 3 out of our 4 hours to tarpon fish but found a few here and a few there with no hook ups so we wrapped up the day catching trout over the grass flats and got in right as a storm cell was moving over us. One of the cool things today was that we were able to locate some laid up tarpon and make some casts at them. these are tough fish because they will hold motionless just under the surface sunning themselves and relaxing making an errand cast disastrous.

Day two with Wes and the weather was still tough but fishable. The nasty weather kept us off the bonefish flats so off to tarpon we went. Today was better with more tarpon around but still had lock jaw. We changed it up and caught some trout and other species on lures before heading in beating another storm cell. Capt.
