Calm winds and HOT weather has been the summer pattern we are finally getting now in Miami. Today I had Dan and his son Andres on board for a full day of sight fishing for bonefish and permit and then some potluck fishing. We started with slick calm water and a school of mullet being destroyed by a host of predators. A few casts of a top water lure into the school later the lure gets whacked but no hook up and the school moves on and settles down, the predators having had their fill of mullet breakfast. About 100 yards later we start seeing permit cruising along the shoreline along with small tarpon. We had some shots but none produced a hook up. Moving on, we caught some trout and then fished the channels for a host of snappers and grouper ending the day with a nice variety of fish and some incredible opportunities at world class gamefish.
