November 15, 2014 Report

Our gorgeous fall weather continues with low humidity, clear skies and temperatures in the high 70's and Nick, Mike and Justin wanted to take advantage of the fishing and weather on their way to the NASCAR race in Homestead. Nick had the flyrod in hand all day while Mike and Justin armed themselves with spinning rods. With a bit of careful coordination all were able to fish without incident. Loading up with bait at a nearby flat, we fished a small wreck and waited 45 seconds for the fish bite. The action was non stop with big blue runners, mackerel, amberjacks, snappers and a few mystery fish that hit and freight trained into the wreck without hopes of stopping them. The coolest thing was live chumming with the live baits and watching the fish explode on them moments after they landed on the water. Very cool for us, not so cool for the bait. Moving off we looked for tarpon at a few spots but only one held tarpon. Nick made some great casts at the rolling and cruising fish but the tarpon weren't interested in flies today. Justin did hook a nice 70-80lb tarpon 10' from the boat as we reeled in one of the live baits to check up on it. The tarpon hits and jumps once 10' from the boat then jumps 5' behind the boat and one the 3rd jump he spits the hook. Talk about close quarter combat! The day ended with trout fishing and a nice run back to the ramp with dinner in the cooler.

November 14, AM & PM Report

AM Report Today my morning started with Don and his son James and the goal was to get on fish and have some fun. The winds were lighter than expected and with almost glass calm conditions and a gorgeous clear crisp fall morning I was excited. The first stop was a grass flat that has been holding tons of bait. A few minutes of effort yielded a live well full of pilchards, all the bait we would need. Off we went to fish a small wreck and the bite was on fire! James caught a number of fish on my flyrod while Don put a hurting on the fish with spinning gear. We then fished a few other areas and ended the morning with screaming drags and bent rods.

PM Report My afternoon trip was with a group of guys down for the UM vs FSU game. Go Canes! Steve, Russel and Jason experienced a continuation of the morning trip with fast fishing, screaming drags and not much time to do much else. Moving off to fish a few others areas yielded slow fishing but we ended the day with another burst of fast fishing including mackerel and amberjacks.

Local angler Richard wanted to bend some rods and catch some fish on his fly rod. We were limited with the areas we could fish courtesy of a 20MPH NW wind but there is always some place to fish in Biscayne Bay. There were tons of pilchards on the grass flats and a few throws of the cast net and we had all the bait we needed. Fishing an area that I like during this time of year we live baited and caught an assortment of fish including small amberjacks, always a treat inshore. Some of the highlights was Richard catching a number of fish on bait and on fly including his fish amberjack ever, first snappers on fly and big mangrove snappers. All in all Richard caught about 8 different species, all while hiding from the wind. Not a bad day!

Dane and his friend took a few hours off from meetings and boarded in over 20 MPH winds. We ducked from the wind all morning and caught some mackerel, lady fish, bluefish, and briefly hooked a tarpon. By the time we got back to the dock the wind was increasing so it turns out we timed the trip perfectly. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409
