December 21, 2014 Report

William from Brazil joined me today for a full day of fishing Miami's Biscayne Bay. The morning started rather calm so I was tempted to look for tarpon. The tarpon were certainly around with fish in the 60-100lb class rolling aggressively but moving fast. Several times we got in front of them and presented baits but no hook ups. A second tarpon spot revealed more but they had lock jaw as well. As the wind picked up the tarpon fishing ended and off we went in search of a variety of species. At the end of the day William had landed about a dozen different species including a fish blitz in the last 45 minutes. Once the action got started in the finger channels it was non-stop with mutton snappers, mangrove snappers including one about 4lbs, grouper, runners, yellow tail snapper, lane snapper and we lost a major fish that took a lure and destroyed the 10lb line! It was certainly a productive day with William not able to drink his beer because the rods were going off every 30 seconds. That's the kind of day I like!
