Days like these make you work harder than usual. We had nice conditions today, nice current/tide, good visibility with some occasional cloud cover and lots of live pilchards and shrimp along with chum. It's November in Miami and the fishing has been great. Today however, it came to a crawl. Hitting a few of my favorite spots for mutton snappers and grouper drew blanks. Finally, towards the end of our trip I employed a trip and true method to dredge up over sized muttons and it didn't fail. However, we had three hits and one hook up, a solid hook up that had the reel screaming and the rod with a deep bend. Unfortunately, the hook pulled and our hearts were broken. We did catch fish but not the over sized trophies we were looking for. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com
