Booked for tarpon, bonefish and permit Ryan and I were excited to get on the water. Unfortunately the fishing was shut down for the big three so we changed it up. Fishing for snook was also tough with few hits and missing the couple of hits we got. In the process Ryan did get a nice jack to end the day.

Alex has been fishing with me for years and he was back with his friend Andrew. The bonefish and snook fishing were slow but we caught some bait, hit the flats and caught lemon sharks.

Local angler Drew wanted to try bonefishing so I was all in. We started early morning to catch the right tide phase but it was really windy out of the east but we went for it anyway. Almost right off the bat Drew hooked a massive bonefish that got deep into the spool before it broke off. Ouch! After hooking two more bonefish and losing them for different reasons, the fourth fish was the one. Another big fish hooked later we were able to land this one and cross it off his list. We wrapped it up later that morning as we couldn't locate permit and very few tarpon.

Day two fishing with Alec and today I decided to take him to Everglades National Park for a change of scenery. I had just gotten my COVID19 vaccine last night and wasn't feeling all that great with little energy but I pushed on, made the long drive and made the trip count. I timed the tides just right and it actually turned out to be better then I anticipated since I got to the first spot on what should've been the slack tide waiting for the incoming tide but instead the tide was running late and we caught the end of the outgoing tide. I didn't mind since I love that tide phase anyway and it was great.

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!

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.

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.
