October 14, 2014 Report

Ed and Jeff from Chicago boarded for a 6 hour trip to see what Biscayne Bay was all about. With an early start, the snook were on fire again today along the shoreline by the marina. It was incredible! What was more incredible is that we didn't hook any in spite some good casts and snook feeding frenzies. It's always a double edged sword since the snook, usually ones and twos are blasting big schools of bait, are frenzied but the sheer number of baits makes it easy for your bait to disappear and they miss it. Today was one of those days. Moving on Ed and Jeff caught mutton snappers, a grouper and then off to the flats. It was windy enough to make bonefishing tough so we opted for sharks and Ed had his hands full. Hooking into one of the smaller sharks that were around, his 6 footer, 200lb lemon shark took the bait and rocketed off 200 yards off the reel before I could get the chum bag in and the push pole out of the bottom. Fifty minutes later Ed had the beast to the boat and a few pictures later we broke him off to fight another day. It was a great way to end the day!
