On-board today was Chris, a local angler and a regular client of mine. Last time we fished about a month ago we jumped on his big Grady-White but faced 30 mile an hour winds and the fishing was absolutely brutal. Today however was a different day as he brought along his granddaughter Nicole and her friend Nick. Also we had absolutely perfect weather with light Southwest winds clear skies and the air temperature in the high sixties, absolutely gorgeous! We invested the first couple of hours of the trip looking for Tarpon and while we found some those fish refused to eat and instead of investing more time we decided to change gears and do something else. Using jigs we caught big Sheepshead, mutton Snappers, bar Jacks and a few other species and then turned our attention to Snook. The snook fishing was shut down however and there were none to be had so we drifted over a grass flat using artificial lures and caught big blue fish, barracuda, snappers and then we decided to head south. With a live well full of pilchards we fished two wrecks and that was really all we needed to do as they were solid. Using the live pilchards we caught about a dozen grouper including two really nice fish, mutton snappers, triggerfish, bar Jacks and Mangrove snappers. It was a great day with great people and I was glad Chris and I were able to redeem ourselves from the last trip! And before I forget Chris that's something very cool on the 2nd wreck. We anchored up with the wreck in sight in eight feet of water and Chris saw two nice groupers sitting on the bottom staring at us. So what did he do? He grabbed small blue Runner out of the live well put it on the hook dropped it right next to the boat and one of the groupers and inhaled it instantly and after a tough fight the grouper came aboard for a picture. So cool!

Today I fished with Marc from the UK and his two friends Steve and Dean. Marc and I fished a couple of years ago and had a great time and they were back in town celebrating his 50th birthday. They wanted tarpon, sharks and bonefish and I knew conditions were right with absolutely clear skies and almost no wind. The morning started cool in the low sixties and we made a run over to South Beach to look for Tarpon. After a long reconnaissance of the area there were no Tarpon to be found. We changed spots and found some tarpon and while just a few were rolling there were big schools holding deep but in spite of our best efforts we couldn't get them to eat. Along the way the guys caught mutton snapper, Hogfish, Big Jack's and plenty of sharks. We wrapped up the day over a grass flat catching sea trout before calling it a day with sore arms. I love it!

Lloyd is from TX and came down for a conference. Being a wise man he booked two days of fishing before the conference and here we were today. The fishing was tough today but we managed to catch a number of fish using live and artificial baits. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

Rob and his wife joined me this morning for a half-day trip and we focused on fishing the grass flats that have been productive. The fishing was a bit slower than I would have liked but we definitely caught trout and ended the day missing a bunch of trout when the bite turned on. Capt.

There is a saying in fishing that says "you don't know until you go" and that held true for today. Frank and his client John jumped aboard today and we were facing steady 25 mile an hour winds gusting higher. There were only two spots we could fish with the first one proving a bit slow but the second one producing several snook for John who had had the hot hand.

Alec is a local angler and a regular client of mine and every time we fish together we have a great time. Today the search began for Tarpon to no avail as the tarpon were missing in action. We caught a few species but the fishing was slow so we headed down to a couple of shipwrecks where we could not get down to the grouper because the Jacks and sharks were too thick. We ended the day chumming for Bonefish but not finding any
