June 21, 2018 Report (Snook video)

After taking a few days off to go camping in North Florida and enjoy those beautiful natural springs I was back at work today with local and repeat angler Tom. Tom had never caught a snook so the goal was to get him his first snook so picking up some bait off we went. The first spot was slow although I was marking plenty of snook, did not get them to eat but in the process we did catch a few other fish to keep the rods bent. The second spot proved to be the key where almost immediately Tom got his first snook, and a slob at that! We saw some smaller tarpon move through and a little bit later the rod doubles over and Tom releases a second snook. During our time at this spot he hooked a few more fish, some came off right away and some came off after blistering runs. Then things became a little slow so we hit one more spot where Tom caught a bunch of big Jacks and had three Tarpon blow up on his bait but not stay on the hook. One of the bites was awesome as the tarpon came right out of the water open its mouth and clobber the bait just a few feet from us. It left us laughing, slack-jawed and having a blast. Capt.

Well, Rob has the bug and he decided to fish one more day with me before he went back home and it was the right decision to make. Conditions today were even better and we spent 5 hours fishing the same spot and having tons of shots at bonefish, permit and tarpon. Rob had a few shots at a massive school of big permit tailing in 2 feet of water with their tails sticking straight out of the water. Well, the actions was just unbelievable all morning but you'll have to watch the video to see what happened! Capt.

Day twi with Rob and the pressure is building. I really want, need him to get a fish on fly and the morning conditions were good once again with slick calm water, no wind and overcast skies. Again, tons of shots throughout the day but to hook ups. We ended the day fishing supper shallow massive tailing bonefish on the oceanside flats as a storm was barrelling down on us.

Rob was back on the bow today with flyrod in hand chasing bonefish and permit and meeting in Homestead, we were in the epicenter of good bonefishing. We met at 6am and hit the shoreline flats which held some bonefish, permit and tarpon but not as many as I expected. Rob had some shots and then we moved south to find more. We ended the day on the oceanside flats taking shots at big tailing bonefish in shallow water but not hooking any. Capt.

It's always great to meet and fish with different people and today was no exception. In town to play the Marlins was San Francisco Giants pitcher Mark and he brought along his two friends Tom and Tyler and we had an absolute blast. On our way to tarpon fishing we spotted some schools of bait getting worked and absolutely tore up lady fish, big blue fish, some mackerel, shark and Tarpon. Using only artificial lures it was red hot all morning and then we decided to give the fish a break and target tarpon. We showed up at the first tarpon spot but there was a big storm full of lightning moving towards us so we gave it about 10-15 minutes and then with time running out in the trip ran closer to the marina where we caught some jackd and had some shots at Tarpon before we called it a day and headed in before the storm got to us.

I hadn't fished with JC in a while and we had to reschedule our last trip due to weather but today although the weather was iffy it was a lot more stable than last time. The goal was to tarpon fish all morning and that we did. We fished on his 32 foot Intrepid and just about every spot we fished held a lot of tarpon but unfortunately for us the tarpon were on a diet and we couldn't seem to hook any. That is the frustrating thing about tarpon fishing sometimes you can have them all around you and yet they will ignore everything you throw at them. Capt.

June 8th 2018 Report

I had an afternoon trip today out of the Ocean Reef Club and we were going to stick to fly fishing only with Tommy and his friend. We had some unstable weather as the trip started off with storms all around me on my way down to the Ocean Reef Club but by the time I picked the guys up the weather had cleared up. We looked for Bonefish and had a school of permit move through and a few single Bonefish but no big schools that we can get a shot at. The weather started to turn on us and got overcast and dark so we had to give up on sight fishing and turn our attention to fishing creeks but that proved to be slow and we called it a day in order to get the guys back by 5 p.m. Capt.

I was back on David's boat today but we had a completely different game plan from the usual. Although there have been Tarpon around it's been tough to get them to eat so we decided to get a Live Well full of pilchards and head offshore. We stopped off in a hundred feet of water put out two big live pilchards and began our drift and pretty quickly Peter hooked up to a nice 20 pound Kingfish that we got to the boat. On our second drift Julian hooked up and had a nice fight but the fish spit the hook close to the boat. On our third drift we had one of our baits get eaten but the fish didn't get hooked and with the current slowing down on us the fishing definitely slowed down. We decided to run offshore some more and look for weed lines, pallets, barrels any kind of debris that would hold bait dolphin but we didn't find any so we ran back insore and caught a couple of jacks before calling it a day. On the run in I quickly filleted up a big mangrove snapper and that big king fish and there will be some good dinner tonight!

What a coincidence, my guys yesterday were from Russia and today I had Rick with his brother in law Eagor which is also from Russia. Cool! We kept it moving today jumping from spot to spot picking up fish at almost every spot and tried some tarpon fishing was well.

Mixing it up was the key today as Gene wanted to fly fish and Paul wanted to use spin. Sot one held some small tarpon and jacks where the guys got a few jacks and missed the bite on a tarpon. Spot two held a ton of big tarpon but they wouldn't eat. Spot three was about the same and then off to the flats where it was slow and we finished the trip closer to the marina where we found some nice jacks and the guys had a blast.

George and his two boys Evan and Patrick were back on board today and the boys got worn out on snappers while George was throwing lures catching bar jacks and snappers. Using one of the snappers as bait we hooked and lost a massive barracuda. We ended the trip tarpon fishing a ton of tarpon with lockjaw.

June 1, 2018 Report (Tarpon Video!)

What a way to start June! The weather definitely has gotten back to normal and we had great conditions this morning as Patrick, Julie and their daughter Alysson jumped aboard for a half day. Spot number one was for tarpon but I only saw a couple of rolling fish so off to spot 2. Spot two proved to be the magic spot with us hooking up a double header right off the bat. Patrick hooked one about 150 as we saw a school finning on the surface and pretty active. As soon as Patrick hooked up Alysson's rod doubled over and she hooked up as well but hers got off immediately after the first jump. Chasing Patrick's fish I noticed something weird on the line and it turned out it was the rope attached to an abandoned crab trap. Unfortunately the line wrapped around the rope in such a way were the fish broke us off. We stayed another while but the fish had moved away so we did as well. We caught a few small trout and then Patrick decided he wanted another shot at Tarpon so off we went back to spot number two where we found some rolling fish. Julie hooked up almost immediately but handed the rod off the Alysson so her girl can fight a fish. After about 40 minutes the 130 lb Tarpon was almost done and Alysson decided it was time for Dad to have some fun as well so Patrick wrapped it up and we got the release on their biggest Tarpon to date. What a great way to end the day with some great people and an awesome way to start summer! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing
