September 23, 2013 Report

Today ‘s charter began 45 minutes late due to passing storms over Biscayne Bay but after the storms cleared, the watering became smooth and the action began. As I poled my client Andy down the south Biscayne Bay shoreline, the low tide and smooth water allowed us to see numerous schools of bonefish as their dorsals created a gorgeous wake. After numerous shots we had to cut it short due to another approaching storm. We crossed the bay and fished the oceanside channels for snapper and grouper. Unfortunately, we got two big hits but no hook ups. Urgh! I decided to end the day by targeting trout on artificial lures and that proved to be a good move. Andy ended up releasing numerous trout, at one point catching one on almost every cast! The short ride back to the boat ramp was smooth and pleasant with great company, great weather and action to end the day.
