October 5, 2019 Report

It has been years since I fished with Glenn and it was great to see him again along with his girl friend Laura. Since he told me he just wanted her to catch anything I was all excited. So, we met at first light, caught bait and hit a spot I've been working and it was ON! One of the classic lines uttered on my boat was by Laura when she hooked her first fish, a nice one and she screams "there has to be an easier way!" Awesome! Well, they caught tons of fish including nice muttons and big yellow jacks and Laura became an expert after today. What a day!

With the fishing so good David couldn't resist and booked again today having his friend Steve come along. It was a repeat of our last few trips together and of most all my recent trips which is; start at first light, find pilchards (bait) cast net enough to black out the well and hit some shallow areas for grouper, mutton snappers, yellow jacks, big mangrove snappers and more. So, we did that and they caught fish like crazy wrapping up the day with David losing a monster mutton that we had specifically targeted. Ouch!

September 28, 2019 Report

I get to fish with great people from all over the world and today was one of those days as John and his 11 year old son Esten from Australia booked me for a half day in the morning. Fishing our of Key Biscayne today I had to buy bait instead of catching it on my own and of course, they never did give me enough but we do with what we have. Live pilchards and live shrimp occupied the livewell but their days were numbered. I tried a good pilchard spot to load up on more bait on the way down to the spot of the morning but nada so we left. Setting up and getting a few liveies in the water as chum, it turned on as Esten caught smaller fish on shrimp and John tore it up on larger fish on live pilchards. We had a great morning with groupers, big mangrove snappers, mutton snappers, yellow tail snappers, trigger fish, yellow jacks and a few blue runners to boot. Once we ran out of bait we hit the flats for sharks and hooked 5 big lemons within the first 30 minutes before heading back in. What a morning! I love fall and it will only get better from here!

September 27, 2019 Report (Bonefish!)

George and his two boys have been fishing with me for years now but since his boys are small we haven't been able to target trophy fish. BUT, today George was alone and we met up at 2pm for an afternoon bonefish trip. He really wanted to try and catch a nice bonefish and I was all in. Well, we hot a wreck first in order to wait for the perfect portion of the tide and got warmed up on snappers and other species on lures and bait. Then, it was time. A short run to the bonefish flat paid off with George getting a 10lb bonefish. Man were we excited screaming and hugging and making total asses of ourselves, but, boys will be boys. Congrats George, on to tarpon next time!

David was on board today with his friend Joe. David had a few snook hits on top water and Joe got a nice couple of jacks on topwater as well. Then, we loaded up on bait and hit a shallow ship wreck. That's all we needed to do. Live chumming got the wreck on fire and the guys caught a ton of fish, almost fish on every cast including mutton snapper, yellow tail snapper, mangrove snapper, yellow jacks and more. After a while of this and watching yellow jacks and mutton snappers bust the surface chasing our live chum and changing the color of the water, David handed me the rod and told me to catch a fish. Well, I hooked a live bait, made a long cats and booom, I was on on! A nice mutton later I handed the rod back to David and said thank you. LOL What a great day!

September 24, 2019 Report (Epic fishing video!)

Day two with Alec today and today we fished with his brother Kevin. These two guys are awesome and it's always a blast fishing with them. We fished out of Homestead today and it was on fire! We started off looking for bonefish but they were MIA. In the meantime there were tons of mullet and pilchards on the migration into Biscayne Bay and fishing around them were snook and jacks. Alec caught jacks on top water and then hit another spoke using bait and Kevin got a nice snook and Alec lost another one. Moving deeper we live chummed and wore out the snappers on bait and lures, lost a number of grouper and landed one. The day ended with more bonefishing where Alec got two to wrap up an awesome day with two awesome guys!

It's been a frustrating week and a half down here with constant 30-35 MPH winds and rain which means lots of cancellations. Today was better with no rain, blue bird skies and the wind in the low 20's so regular local client Alec and I headed out and caught some jacks and used them for bait to get him his first bull shark that proved to be just as bullish as their name.
