January 16, 2014 Report

Matt and his dad Wayne from Canada were aboard today for some fishing and warm weather. Conditions were certainly tough with 30 MPH winds from the NW and the water in Biscayne Bay was so dirty it looked like chocolate milk making bonefishing out of the question. We fished for seatrout for a bit only to miss a few bites and losing one after watching it eat and do the trout headshake that so effectively dislodges hooks. Off to fish a creek for snapper, grouper and others and with dirty water the fishing was slow although we did catch mangrove snappers. Moving into a creek along the mainland shoreline we hid from the wind and had shots at about a dozen snook and baby tarpon. All for naught however as lock jaw plague these fish. Capt.
