October 30, 2013 Report

On board today was Chris and Mark and I must say, they were hilarious! We had a great time on the water in spite of the 20 MPH winds that increased to about 30 MPH in the afternoon. In order to stay out of the wind we fished the small channels that cut through the flats and caught BIG mangrove snappers on live pilchards along with numerous cut offs from mackerel and some missed hook sets from short striking big but not aggressive fish. After eating lunch at a local waterfront restaurant we snook fished for a bit but only jacks were feeding, the 12lb snook would cruise by us with no desire to eat the live pilchards we tossed. The day ended next to a seawall where there were some tarpon rolling and where we could hide from the wind. The tarpon didn't eat but tossing live pilchards along the seawall produced some snook like explosions. After a few tries we finally hooked up. After a long fight we boated a big jack. Although a nice fight, we were dissapointed it wasn't the big snook we were sure of. I'll be back out for that snook! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBonefishing.com
