Fishing again with Steve today we decided to change it up and fish down in South Biscayne Bay out of Homestead. The goal was to look for Bonefish early morning but there was definitely much more water along the shoreline than I had anticipated and there was enough wind just to make it difficult. So in order to wait for the tide to bottom out we decided to fish some creeks for snook. The snook were definitely there as we can see them popping, busting bait and blowing out in front of the boat as I slowly poled Steve around.  One of the instances he cast a fly into a creek mouth only to see a snook shoot from the mangroves, follow his fly as he's pushing a wake in less than a foot of water and then turn around and shoot right back into the mangroves not eating the fly. A second cast into the same creek mouth provided the same reaction but this time it ate, only to realize it was a barracuda that beat the snook to the fly. Now two hours later we decided to fish the shoreline again but there was still too much water so we hit the flats for Bonefish. Every flat we hit was empty until the last flat the day where there were a lot of Bonefish cruising around but we could not get them to eat any fly we would throw at them. Very frustrating! Capt.
