October 5, 2014 Report

Dustin and Shelby from Texas are in town for a conference and wanted to check out Biscayne Bay. Fall is definitely in the air with cooler air temps and mullet moving in daily. Working a bridge at 6:30AM we saw a few tarpon pop bait but no hook ups for us and didn't see a ton of them. We braved the 25 MPH winds and headed to the open flats for some shark fishing. Setting up, it took less than 30 minutes to get our first bite, an aggressive 4' lemon shark. We released him boat side and dropped a few more baits. Not long after another rod goes off and just a couple of minutes into the fight the leader parts and leaves us dissapointed the now free shark swims past the boat and he is a solid 6 footer if not bigger. Dang! A 3rd time the rod goes off and another shark races towards the horizon but this time the hook comes free. With improving weather we begin to fish for bonefish and end the day taking shots at 7 schools of bonefish in less than 2 hours, some of them a solid 10+ lbs! One shot Dustin took had the bait in front of two BIG bones and they went on either side of it and never saw/smelled it. Heartbreaker!
