The ladies tore it up again! March 29, 2021

 I had super stars Maria and Elissa today and Elissa brought her brother Jonas for a day of fishing.  They usually fish 8 hours but it was 6 hours today.  Well, they always like to catch fish to eat and off we went to get them dinner.  After a few slow spots I took them to a channel I like on the tide we had and using shrimp and jigs they tore it up.  They caught mangrove snapper, yellow jacks, barracuda, porgies and more.  At the end they caught their limit of snappers and a half dozen nice yellow jacks.  Well, mission accomplished.  Dinner will be at 7pm!

Family Time March 28, 2021

 I had David, Chrissy and their 10 year old son today for a quick half day trip.  I took them to one spot where they caught a bunch of ladyfish and jacks and two hours in they had their fill and called it a day.  They were great and had a blast.

First Snook Father Son Trip March 27, 2021

 I love father/son trips and today I had Rudy and his son Adrian along with their friend Baldo.  These guys live in Homestead like me and we hit the bay early in the morning.  Rudy told me he had never caught a snook so I took them to a shoreline I like for snook and throwing soft plastics and hard plastics we worked the shoreline.  A few minutes into our trip I heard a pop and I told Rudy to cast to the pop.  As soon as he did he was on and landed his first snook.  Yes!  Later on the guys missed two more snook bites and Baldo caught his first snook as well.  Afterwards I took them to another spot where 8 year old Adrian wore out the snappers, or was it the other way around?

Three Days with Mike March 26, 2021

 Mike is from Maryland and fly fishes with me for three days several times a year.  We always have a good time and mix it up on fly.  The first day we had very unusual conditions for March, a super calm windless morning.  We took the opportunity and fished for bonefish out of Homestead and it was awesome!  The problem is we missed a few eats on fly but we changed it up and ended the day fishing a mullet mud where Mike had a blast catching bluefish, jacks, and more as well as having a black tip shark eat his bluefish next to the boat.  The second day was like the first except the bonefishing was even better and Mike got 8 eats and finally connected on the last one.  What a rush!  Afterwards we fished the mullet muds again and called it a day.  On the last day the wind had picked up so we fished out of Key Biscayne and the fishing was good but the fish were reluctant to eat a fly.  I really wanted Mike to get a snook on fly but the conditions were tough and the wind was coming at a bad angle.  He did ask that I throw a lure to make sure they were there and I hooke duop immediately.  Sorry Mike!  We called it a day early because of the unusually high boat traffic running over most of the fishing spots.

This was a cool trip March 22, 2021

 Vic wanted to fly fish for bonefish and his buddy Pat was willing to catch anything but there's  a twist.  I had perfect conditions for hot bonefishing out of Homestead but there were no rental cars available for Vic to rent and couldn't come down to Homestead.  So, I ran from Homestead to Key Biscayne, picked them up and ran south a bit to a slick calm shoreline I used to fish for bonefish.  Ha, after all those years the bones were still there.  Vic and Pat had some solid shots but as happens many times in fly fishing for bonefish, it didn't work out.  With the wind now picking up we ran back to Key Biscayne where the party really started.  Switching to spinning gear and fishing structure, these two guys were hilarious as they trash talked and of course I helped them out a bit as well.  In the end, they caught snook, jacks, snapper, mutton snapper and some more stuff I can't recall.  Cool day with great guys!

Doubles keep coming March 21, 2021

 And yet another double.  It's been crazy here and I've been crazy busy.  I was looking forward to fish with regular client Alex and he brought his girlfriend Jill along.  The morning began in a creek for snook where Jill lost a nice snook and Alex got a couple of barracudas.  The rest of the trip was slow in spite of me working my tail off to locate fish.  

In the afternoon I fished with Bervan and James.  I wasn't feeling very confident right now but James is 11 years old and we needed to make sure we kept him busy.  One of the wrecks was covered in snapper and James had a blast.  Taking a couple of fish we caught earlier in the day on my morning trip we hit the flats for sharks.  Well, they weren't acting like sharks again with only one coming close to the baits and deciding not to eat.

This was fun March 20, 2021

Armand and his boys came aboard today to fly fish for bonefish and so we did.  We had perfect calm conditions so I took them to a shoreline that I like.  Working the area we saw some bonefish but there were tons of small tarpon.  Throwing flies at them, we had tons of shots but they were either spooked or just a bit too far away.  The boys were really good about it and patient so it was time for them to have some fun so I took them to a wreck where they caught a ton of snappers.  Oh, they brought me guava pastries, my FAVORITE!!!!
