January 22, 2019 Report (Bonefish Suicide Video)

Wow, wow, wow! Five years ago Joe and Kim bonefished with me and Joe lost a bonefish close to the boat and had been wanting redemption ever since. Well, today was the day and the deck was stacked against us with dirty water, poor visibility and 30-35 MPH winds. Under these conditions there was only one place I wanted to fish and it was a long run away. So, playing the throttle carefully and getting the best angle I could in the rough water and heavy spray we made it to the land of promise. After a few hours Joe had released a few sharks and hooked 4 bonefish and landed two nice fish. We did it! Congrats Joe, it was a hard tough fight but we came out on top!

One of the great things about my job is the constant adapting that I need to constantly go through whether it's different clients, changing conditions of target species and today was no exception. Today I had Kimberley and her awesome four year old Jonah aboard. This was an awesome trip because Jonah loves watching fishing shows and he was able to live out what he always watches on TV. We went to a spot where he was constantly catching fish and then took mom for a tour of the bay. Great people and great trip!

The passion for fishing is truly embedded in our DNA and proof of that was Patrick, Jeremy and Dave who dropped off their luggage in my Jeep on their way to the airport and jumped in the boat. They really wanted just to keep the rods bent and with a hard NW wind, that really was the perfect plan for today's conditions. I can't help my self so I took them to a spot that usually holds tarpon and sure enough, the tarpon were there. I set up up current from them and drifted back some baits only to have a ton of different species constantly get hooked instead. Since the guys were having a great time I switched to lighter tackle and almost went through the 8 dozen shrimp I had. I had them wrap up the trip trying to catch a big bull shark and they were out in full force with 3 to 5 of them around the boat at any given time. However, inexplicably they wouldn't eat anything I threw at them. We did have one brief bite but no hook ups.

Wow, what a morning with Blake and Ken. Working out of Homestead today we were on fish from the moment the boat stopped. It was clear, slick calm and a low tide and while poling into position we found a big permit tailing and finning on the surface. Armed with a fly rod, Blake made a cast but it was off by inches and alerted the permit. The rest of the morning was on fire as Ken and Blake had about 30 shots at bonefish and permit. However on fire it was we didn't get one in the boat for a number of reasons. I must mention that on one cast by Ken he laid it in front of the school, one fish peeled off and slammed it but didn't get hooked. URGH!

Every few months I have the pleasure of fishing with Guillermo and his daughters and today was the tradition continued. These folks are always a blast and they keep me laughing. Guillermo always wants to catch dinner and with a brisk east wind I was limited with where we could comfortably fish. I made a long run down to a usually productive spot but that proved slow as well as a couple of spots along the way thanks to the dirty water being brought in by the incoming tide and rough offshore conditions. At the last spot things got much better and they caught fish on almost every cast so we ended the morning with good action and fresh fish dinner.

What a gorgeous morning today as I made a run down to the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo to pick up Ron and his friend for a half day trip. They just wanted to bend some rods and have a good time and the first spot we got to had some tarpon rolling around us and Ron ended up hooking one for a bit until the hook came free. Tarpon 1, Ron 0. The morning ended in a finger channel catching a bunch of different types of snappers and other fun species.

I got a last minute call from fellow Miamian Jose and he wanted to take his step son Igar out for a day of fishing. Well, the day we were supposed to go had us reschedule for the following day due to weather and boy did we have great weather today! Jose wanted to make sure Igar caught some fish and he did at several of the spots we fished. They had a great time and we got the best weather in days.
