November 15, 2018 Report (Video)

Bill and his friend were great to fish with today. The guys are from Philly and were in town for a conference so a day off is what they decided on in order to experience Miami's inshore fishing. The fishing was great today, especially since they wanted to try for bull sharks. At the first spot we caught a ton of jacks and turned one of them into bull shark bait. Not five minutes later the jack got engulfed by a big bull shark and the guys tag teamed the fish for over an hour. We were able to get good looks at it as it would come to the surface and cruise just feet from our bow and it was a solid 250 lb plus specimen. Over an hour into the fight the big bull broke us off and the guys took a breather while we set up for another one. No more bites by bull sharks so we wrapped it up at another spot where we hooked 5 and landed one black tip shark. These guys were great and they had me laughing all trip long! Capt.

I got a late start today since Ted wanted to start at 8:30 and I had no problems with that since I could catch up on some much needed sleep. Ted was fly only so we found some tarpon but they refused all our fly offerings, that is just like tarpon sometimes. Then we hit the flats and although it started slow, the end of the incoming proved to be the best today giving us some shots at plenty of permit and a school of bonefish. In typical permit fashion, they refused our fly but we had tough conditions with a stiff breeze and constant annoying glare form cloud build up on the horizon. Capt.

November 10, 2018 Report (Bull Shark Video, Close Encounter)

Back to work today with Chad from Utah and we were on the hunt using spin and fly. Spot one got Chad warmed up with jacks on fly and spot two we found a bunch of tarpon but we couldn't get them to eat a live bait. Spot three held no tarpon so we hooked two big bull sharks while we waited for the tide to turn. With the tide going out we targeted permit but they were MIA. We wrapped up the trip on the flats looking for bonefish but we only saw one school of small bones and the flats were dead today otherwise. Capt.

Back on David's boat today with Howie as the guest. We tried something I hadn't done with David before and that was fishing the patch reefs that start to get really hot this time of year. We loaded up on bait and made a long run south to 15 feet of water, set up on a patch reef and started to chum. After a bit the rod started to bend and Howie landed grouper, mackerel, yellow tail snapper and a yellow jack. Heading back to the ramp we stopped off at another spot so David could break in his new Fin Nor Marquesa on a bull shark but we ended up losing all four sharks. BTW, the baits wouldn't last 5 minutes before they were devoured by the big bull sharks.

November 5, 2018 Report (Bull Shark Video)

Mel and his wife Pat were in town from a cruise and these folks were hardcore. They woke up at 4 am when the ship docked, met me at the ramp at 11am and they were ready to go. I would've been exhausted by now but they were more than ready, did I mention they are 78 and 72 years young respectively? Wow! Mel wanted to catch some fish on fly so we stopped off at a jack spot where he caught a few and then bull sharks moved in and he said he wanted one of those as well. Well, I dropped back a jack and a few minutes later Mel had his hands full for the next 2 hours and 20 minutes. He landed his big bull shark at around 200 lbs and then we finished off catching a few more jacks on fly. What a goal for me, be like Mel at 78! Capt.

November 4, 2018 Report (Permit video!)

I had Casey on board today from West Palm Beach and he brought his two friends along from California Jimmy and Scott. The goal was Tarpon, Bonefish and permit. We had the right tide for early morning permit fishing so we hit the first spot under cloudy skies, high winds and pretty rough water but first cast yielded a big 20-plus pound permit for Jimmy and the second cast yielded an equal sized permit for Scott. After a hot start we looked for Tarpon but only found a couple and then we wrapped it up bone fishing where we had a couple shots at just a couple of fish so we used some shrimp and jigs in the finger channels and landed some fun species before calling it a day.

Again back on David's boat today and it was a different day, thank God! We fished with John and Susie from Australia. We got some bait and hit a few spots which proved to be slow so we decided to go after big bull sharks and had five big bull sharks on but unfortunately we lost them all. Capt.
