Family Time April 5, 2021

 Two trips again today with the morning getting started as Shannon, wife Alima and daughter Lina jumped into the skiff.  I took them to a spot where they had a blast catching lady fish, pompano and snappers and took some home for dinner.  

My second trip was with Gus and his son.  The water warmed up a bit but not enough to get the tarpon back in the bay so we went back to the ladyfish where they had a blast catching the hard fighting high jumpers.  To mix it up I took them to a few more spots where they caught some more species but the guys really liked the lady fish.  Who can blame them?

The golden slob April 4, 2021

 When Rick booked me he let me know he lived in Miami so when I was watching the weather for today I didn't like the wind, lots of wind so I asked him if he wanted to reschedule.  The problem was his buddy was leaving Monday back home so we went for it.  It was cool, water temps were at 71 degrees, too cold for tarpon and the wind was limiting where we could fish.  Hmm, OK no problem, we'll work through it.  I looked for tarpon everywhere to no avail so we turned out attention to snook and bonefish.  After the only bonefish spot we could fish drew a blank it was time to search for snook.  Ha, Rick found them.  After a few casts he hooked a solid snook and proceeded to land another one after that.  His buddy Gus hooked one but it came off next to the boat and the guys missed a few more bites but the rods stayed bent with snappers, jacks and more for Gus and Rick.  Wow, Rick rocked the snook!

Oh so close!!! April 2, 2021

 A few years ago I fished and brothers Rob and Steve and they are always a blast to fish with.  These guys keep me laughing all day and today was no exception.  The water temperatures had dropped almost 10 degrees over night so I focused on resident tarpon that tend to deal better with the cold.  Well, the bait didn't last 10 minutes until Rob hooked up but it was no tarpon, it was a permit!  Nice!  His first permit and an awesome way to start the day.  Although we didn't hook a tarpon in the morning we did change it up where they both caught bonefish.  Just need a tarpon for the grand slam!  Back at it for tarpon, there were slim pickings but I did locate some......but they had lock jaw.  Ouch!!

No fooling around on April Fool's Day April 1, 2021

 Two trips today as the high season continues.  My morning was spent with Mike and his son Shane who just wanted to get out and catch some fish.  So we started with catching fun ladyfish and nice pompano.  Once we had some action we targeted tarpon when a slob snook decided to eat the tarpon lure and gave Mike an awesome fight.  At the end of the trip I took them to another spot where they caught a few more species and Shane got a nice bonefish.  Congrats guys! 

In the afternoon I had Michael and his boys again.  The fishing continued solid as they caught dinner and their first snook.  Cool!

Ending the month on a high note March 31, 2021

 I had another family trip today with Andrew, 10 year old Charlie and 6 year old Allison.  She is SO cute!  They kept busy catching lady fish, jacks, snapper, pompano and a couple of fish that we lost.  Just one spot is what we needed and before we knew it the time to head back in was upon us.

Another half day gone right! March 30, 2021

 Man I've been busy working non-stop so I was back on the water with Gregg his wife and son.  They wanted to keep the rods bent so I took them to spot where the ladyfish have been holding and using live shrimp they got into some nice action.  The problem?  There was no bait in the Miami tackle shops this morning so I was working with the few I had alive in my live well from the prior day.  Thankfully my buddy got me three dozen from a shop that got a late shipment and I met him at the ramp half way through our trip.  Those 3 dozen shrimp went quick with hot action keeping the rods bent, drags screaming and the clients happy.  With an hour left we ran out of live shrimp so we took a tour of the bay and called it a day.  What great people and trip today with great weather and hot fishing.

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!
