August 1, 2016 Report

Today was definitely a tough day as local offshore angler Carlos jumped aboard for a half-day of scouting out this part of the bay that he wants to take his girlfriend fishing to. We had a steady 15 to 20 mile-an-hour wind and he really wanted to see how my Hewes would perform under these conditions as well as to check out the fishery but today were definitely not the conditions we needed to show him exactly what this part of Biscayne Bay is all about. We began early morning under overcast skies fishing some creeks for Snook on topwater plugs. The snook were there as we had 5 or 6 of them blow up on our top waters but never got hooked. Finally we had a big blow up and hook up but unfortunately it only lasted a few seconds before it shook free and swim away. The rest of the two and a half hours we spent fishing different spots for species like sea trout and snapper but the fishing was extremely slow as the water started to get dirty andn the wind continued to increase.
