YES!!!! April 21, 2021

 Boy did I need this day!  Alec and I got to work in the hunt for tarpon on what the forecast was calling a horrible weather day with 60 plus percent chance of rain and lots of wind.  Alec's reply " I have a rain jacket." Nice!  Turns out the forecast couldn't be more wrong as we had a light west wind. calm conditions and enough cloud cover to make it comfortable.  Actually, overcast, hot, muggy and calm, perfect for tarpon!  They were all over the place and it wasn't long before Alec was on to a 140lber.  After the release he hooked another one about the same size on a lure and then released a 160lber not long after that.  Wow, what a morning.  Changing things up we switched to bonefish where he went 0-3 on big tarpon.  Dang, what a day!

The hunt for bonefish April 20, 2021

 Bonefish is one of our premier species in Biscayne Bay and people from all over the world come to Miami to fish for them which is what Skip did.  We worked hard for those bonefish and missed a solid bite on what could have been the fish of the day.  Switching off to snook produced similar results missing a few bites.  Tough day today.

Sometimes the client makes the difference April 19, 2021

 Today I had the daughter of a client of mine on board, Jess, with her friend David to bend some rods and catch whatever.  They were both laid back and very cool.  I tried my best to get them bonefish but it was shut down in the area we were fishing and the same with snook when we switched it up.  With the wind starting to blow I took them to a wreck where they caught a bunch of snappers, porgies and blue runners.  They were interested in shark fishing so off to an area I like for medium sized lemon sharks and turned those blue runners into bait where we sight casted two lemon sharks and called it a day as the wind got worst.

Dinner time April 18, 2021

 Micah booked me again for some dinner and brought his friend Dan along.  The guys had a great time and of course, talked smack to each other as they caught a bunch of snapper and took home a nice yellow jack and snappers.

We lost the fish of the day! April 17, 2021

 Jason and his friend Joe climbed aboard and we were off in search of tarpon.  This was a tough day with unusually high boat traffic, so much so that I had to wait in line for 20 minutes at the marina to launch the boat, at 6:40am!  A little late but at least I made it and we were off to target the species Jason wanted to catch, tarpon.  I fished a few spots and finally found some, rolling and happy so we set up on them and well, 5 minutes later a wake board boat showed up and ran all over them.  They settled downa nd started rolling again when a commercial fishing boat runs over them again.  Come on!  After that they disappeared so we left.  Fishing a few more spots for other species got the blood flowing and as I ran to another spot I see a huge school of big jacks on the surface.  We made a cast with a soft plastic and it was on as Jasin fought the 20-25lb jack until it broke us off on some structure .  Ouch!  The day was wrapped up with the guys catching snapper before heading in.

This trip was a blast! April 16, 2021

 I always have fun on my charters but today these folks had me rolling on the floor laughing.  The highlight here was Meagan and her sense of humor while Anne and her dad Jack just sat back and watched the Meagan show.  Jack and Anne are experienced anglers but Meagan hadn't fished since she was a kid so she was rusty.  Starting the morning tarpon fishing we found them with lockjaw as the girls gave Jack a hard time.  Once I took them to another spot to bend rods and catch a variety of fish it was on!  Meagan kept tangling the line or losing fish and I haven't laughed this hard in quite some time as she made light of herself and well, kept giving Jack a hard time.  They caught a ton of snappers, jacks, ladyfish and more.  This was a fun one!

The three amigos April 15, 2021

 Tristan, Jared and their friend came aboard my skiff from a brief stay in Homestead we were on our way.  Wanting to keep them close to the area I took them to a bonefish spot where they hooked three bonefish and lost them all, hooked two jumping lemon sharks and a couple of sting rays before I decided to change it up.  I took them to a couple of spots where throwing lures they caught snook.  It was a good trip but I'll lose sleep over those bonefish we lost.
