February 25, 2015 AM & PM Reports

AM Report Another gorgeous day in Miami and Jon was aboard with fly rod in hand in search for species that would eat a fly. Hitting another tarpon spot at first light we found them, lots of them! Unfortunately, they were behaving like tarpon sometimes behave, with lock jaw. Jon threw several different patterns at fish that I would have bet would have eaten but nothing we tried worked. With slick calm conditions we fished a couple of offshore spots on fly but it was eerily quiet, no fish, no boats around hooking up. We hit pay dirt at a location that hadn't been fished in a few days because of the wind and it was on. There were schools of bluefish eating our flies on almost every cast. This is what winter in Miami is supposed to be like!

PM Report Neil and Mark had a"break" from a conference they were attending and jumped aboard for a quick trip in the afternoon. I sped them off to the last spot I had fished with Jon and this time used lures. As I took one of the rods, made a cast and showed them how to work the lure the first fish smashed the lure and the drag screamed! It was non-stop for about an hour with fish after fish coming to the boat, lures breaking off, hooks being smashed and broken by the ferocious bites and the drags screaming. After Neil and Mark wore out the fish, or was it the other way around?, we moved to our last spot of the day and the action picked up where we had left off.

What a great way to end a gorgeous day! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409
