October 17, 2013 Report

Fall is certainly here with its cool mornings and influx of bait into Biscayne Bay. Today I had Joey onboard for some fall light tackle fishing and we didn’t have to wait long for the action to start. Arriving at the our first grass flat close to Key Biscayne we quickly began to put small lipped plugs and plastic shrimp under popping corks to work. Variety was the name of the game today with trout, bluefish, lady fish, black tip shark, jacks and snapper on the list of species caught. At one point one of the lady fish was devoured a few feet from the boat by a black tip shark giving us quiet a display of raw power and savagery. We ended the day losing a huge barracuda that stayed under the boat waiting for a free meal. Along with a lot of bait, bluefish and mackerel are moving into the bay in bigger numbers each day and the fishing will just get better. What a time of year to be fishing in Miami! Capt.
