With a stiff south east afternoon wind, cloudy skies and Chris telling me he wanted to catch lots of fish, bonefishing was not part of the game plan this afternoon since conditions were not great. We began by trout fishing the downtown Miami waterfront knowing fishing would be good but boy today was better than I expected! Fishing strictly artificials, the trout fishing was red hot with non-stop action from the moment our lures hit the water. We didn’t keep track but Chris must have released dozens of trout including several gator trout well over 20”. During this trout blitz we also caught mangrove snapper, and were cut off by a school of black tip sharks and mackerel. Our lures were also hit by other “mystery” fish that produced solid hits but no hook ups. There were also schools of mullet on the grass flats, a clear indication fall is at our door step and spectacular fishing not far behind. Boy I’m excited at how great the fishing has been and how much better it’s going to get!
