December 23, 2015 Report (Unbelievable, must read!)
Guillame and Jess are from N.Y. and were taking advantage of a little vacation time and getting some fishing in. Guillame wanted to do some bonefishing but we had some obstacles in the form of 20MPH winds which is unusual for us this time of year. I used an old trick of mine and after a little while one of the rods doubles over and Jess lands the first fish of the day, a small shark. A bit later, another rod goes off and the other rod doubles over as well and we have a double header. They weren't running like bonefish and we brought the first fish to the boat and it was a small shark. Immediately after as Guillame is fighting his, a huge splash and a big dorsal fin erupts out of the 3' deep water. The shark takes off and we're both thinking the big shark had gotten hooked but not realized it until now. After a 10 minute fight, the rod snaps straight and we're thinking it broke us off. To our amazement, Guillame had hooked a small shark and a much bigger shark attacked it and the rod snapped back when the small shark was finally bit in half! Unbelievable! The next rod to go off was a solid 10 plus pound bonefish that spit the hook after the initial scorching run. Ouch! What a morning!

December 14, 2015 Report
Brian and his co worker Toni came down a day early for their business meetings in order to spend some time on the water and catch some fish. They have never fished in Miami before so I was eager to show them what has been going on lately. We made a quick run to the first and only flat of the morning and had awesome consistent drag burning action all morning long. It was a close race but I have a feeling Toni out fished Brian towards the end although Brian did start on a hot streak. It was seldom the case where a few minutes would go by without a hookup and the sound of the drag going off. After 4 hours of constant action it was time to head in as the wind began to pick up. We had a great time they caught a ton of fish and I look forward to fishing with them again next time they're down here.
It's always an adventure being on the water and today we found a sunken boat close to the marina in about 10' of water. Thankfully for these folks they were close to shore.

Scott is a pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays and him and his wife jumped on board on Sunday for quick 4 hour trip to see if we could find some bonefish. The conditions were tough with 20 plus mile an hour winds, dirty water and only a few places we could fish. Making the long but comfortable ride over the flats down to one of the primary fishable spots under these conditions we staked out and began our search. In spite of our best efforts we caught two sharks and a flounder but no bonefish to be had. The ride back was a little bumpy as the wind continued to pick up reaching speeds over 25 miles an hour. These were great people, we had a great time, talked about a number of different topics and had a lot of laughs. Good luck next season Scott!

December 10, 2015 Report (Video!)
Anthony is from New York and was in town for his friends wedding so he decided to get a little fishing in will he was staying in paradise. We started the morning off on a productive grassflat and the first three casts yielded three difference species, lady fish, blue fish and spinner sharks all on artificial. What a way to get the morning started! The rest of the morning was very similar as we caught fish after fish after fish including a lot of sea trout, lady fish, blue fish and spinner sharks. There were few times at the beginning when blue fish were jumping out of the water as big spinner sharks were feeding on them. A quick cast into the area got an instant hookup for Anthony and moments later a big spinner shark was trying to devour his blue fish right on the surface. What a sight! Today was a solid day under cloudy but calm conditions, temperature in the seventies and red hot fishing. This is paradise in the winter time!

December 1, 2015 Report
David is a regular client of mine and he brought his friend Steve along. Last time Steve came along we had a great day shark fishing on the flats with a shark blitz that kept us busy for quiet a while. Today we would stay close to the marina and take advantage of the hot fishing that has been a daily occurance. The morning started slower than expected but after the tide turned a a few showers cleared the fishing turned on with lady fish, trout, snappers and spinner sharks all eating our lures and burning some drag. It was a great way to kick off December and it's looking better each day!

Having had saturday and sunday off you to high winds I was eager to get back on the water today in fish with locals Juan and mark. Meeting them at a marina in South Beach we made the short run to a grass flat and spent the entire morning there finding hot action on a number of species including ladyfish, spinner sharks, mackerel and trout.

Having had a blast on Wednesday Pilar and Constancia jumped in the boat again while her husband and son jumped in the other boat. I really wanted to reproduce the last trip but the wind was blowing even harder today. We tried fishing a couple of spots in the open bay but the water was too dirty and made fishing difficult. We decided to go back to the docks we fished last time and it was even better today than on Wednesday. After losing a few nice fish Pilar and her daughter ended up catching over 30 fish including a really nice hog fish. These were great people and we had a blast catching fish in calm water away from the wind.

This morning I had a split charter with a buddy of mine on board came to Pilar in her 14 year old daughter Constancia. Pilar had never gone fishing so she was excited and I was looking forward to getting her on some fish. We had a brutal 20 to 25 mile an hour wind but since there is always a place to hide from the wind in Miami we started fishing a series of docks on the leeward side of an island and had a blast pulling fish out of the docks. The final count was something around 22 fish beating her husband and her son in the other boat. However, men being men, the guys fished an extra 30 minutes to rack up another 15 more fish and secretly beat the girls.
