March 15, 2014 AM & PM Report

AM Report Brian and son Will booked a half day for some rod bending fun. We started early on tarpon with rolling fish in the 40lb-100lb range. While we deployed their favorite baits, they refused to eat. However, one of the rods goes off and starts to scream. Will grabs it and fights the fish like a champ subduing the BIG spanish mackerel like a pro. Moving to the finger channels Will was kept busy with an assortment of snappers and we ended the morning catching trout.

PM Report Greg and son Grant were here from Alabama and wanted to try bonefishing. With the last of the outgoing tide and perfect visibility we got into bonefish on the first flat we worked. Greg and Grant had several shots at big Miami bonefish but the casts were off just a bit courtesy of the 20MPH crosswinds. With time winding down we decided to fish the finger channels and Grant was kept busy by big porgies, mangrove snappers, mutton snappers and a grouper that found a rock after getting hooked. At one point we had a cloud of snappers behind the boat and rods going off within seconds of hitting the water!
