November 24, 2018 Report (Tarpon video)

I love father/daughter trips and I had the pleasure of fishing with former Olympic skier Cory and his 14 year old daughter Katrina. He really wanted to get her on some fish and I did too, but with perfect conditions I had to make a stop first. Hitting the beach off South Beach for tarpon I found them and we tossed two baits back. Within a couple pf minutes Cory was on to a nice tarpon and got his first tarpon release after about 40 minutes. We wrapped up the trip focusing on Katrina where she caught the daylights out of fish and out fishing all the boats around us. Way to go girl!

November 23, 2018 AM & PM Reports (Videos)

AM Report Peter and Alex have fished with me before and today we were back at it. We got to one spot and that's all it took. Tons of jacks and 8 bull shark takes later we finally got a solid hookup and Alex was on it for the first hour. After the bull shark dragging us to a bridge and wrapping around a piling, we were able to free it and then Peter took over from there. After a massive 2 hour plus fight, we landed the big bull only to find that we had been foul hooked! PM Report My afternoon trip was with Dan and his 7 year old Jack. We went back to the same spot and basically repeated the morning trip. Jack was awesome and Dan got his big bull. Way to go guys! Capt.

"Magic Mo" was back to work today with Craig, his wife and 10 year old Louie. They fish with me every year and Louie calls me "Magic Mo". We ran to a ship wreck and they caught a bunch of snappers then finished off catching a bunch of jacks and continued the "Magic Mo" streak.

November 18, 2018 Report (Bonefish)

Local anglers David and Gerston wanted to check out the bay and learn a bit on how to fish it while focusing on snook, bonefish and permit. We got an early start out of Homestead and fished the creeks for snook but with a high tide, the snook were back deep into the mangroves and we didn't land any but caught jacks, ladyfish, snappers and barracudas on lures. With good visibility we hit the flats and things were slower than I had expected. However, I spotted a nice bonefish and the guys took a shot but missed. They reeled it up and when they went to recast, cloud cover moved in and I had them take another shot into the area and let the shrimp sit. Suddenly, Davids rod doubles over and his is on! After a nice fight David landed his first bonefish. The rest of the trip we focused on getting Gerston his but the conditions got worst and the fishing remained slow so we were done and headed in.

Bill and his friend were great to fish with today. The guys are from Philly and were in town for a conference so a day off is what they decided on in order to experience Miami's inshore fishing. The fishing was great today, especially since they wanted to try for bull sharks. At the first spot we caught a ton of jacks and turned one of them into bull shark bait. Not five minutes later the jack got engulfed by a big bull shark and the guys tag teamed the fish for over an hour. We were able to get good looks at it as it would come to the surface and cruise just feet from our bow and it was a solid 250 lb plus specimen. Over an hour into the fight the big bull broke us off and the guys took a breather while we set up for another one. No more bites by bull sharks so we wrapped it up at another spot where we hooked 5 and landed one black tip shark. These guys were great and they had me laughing all trip long! Capt.

November 11, 2018 Report

I got a late start today since Ted wanted to start at 8:30 and I had no problems with that since I could catch up on some much needed sleep. Ted was fly only so we found some tarpon but they refused all our fly offerings, that is just like tarpon sometimes. Then we hit the flats and although it started slow, the end of the incoming proved to be the best today giving us some shots at plenty of permit and a school of bonefish. In typical permit fashion, they refused our fly but we had tough conditions with a stiff breeze and constant annoying glare form cloud build up on the horizon. Capt.

November 10, 2018 Report (Bull Shark Video, Close Encounter)

Back to work today with Chad from Utah and we were on the hunt using spin and fly. Spot one got Chad warmed up with jacks on fly and spot two we found a bunch of tarpon but we couldn't get them to eat a live bait. Spot three held no tarpon so we hooked two big bull sharks while we waited for the tide to turn. With the tide going out we targeted permit but they were MIA. We wrapped up the trip on the flats looking for bonefish but we only saw one school of small bones and the flats were dead today otherwise. Capt.

November 9, 2018 Report

Back on David's boat today with Howie as the guest. We tried something I hadn't done with David before and that was fishing the patch reefs that start to get really hot this time of year. We loaded up on bait and made a long run south to 15 feet of water, set up on a patch reef and started to chum. After a bit the rod started to bend and Howie landed grouper, mackerel, yellow tail snapper and a yellow jack. Heading back to the ramp we stopped off at another spot so David could break in his new Fin Nor Marquesa on a bull shark but we ended up losing all four sharks. BTW, the baits wouldn't last 5 minutes before they were devoured by the big bull sharks.

November 5, 2018 Report (Bull Shark Video)

Mel and his wife Pat were in town from a cruise and these folks were hardcore. They woke up at 4 am when the ship docked, met me at the ramp at 11am and they were ready to go. I would've been exhausted by now but they were more than ready, did I mention they are 78 and 72 years young respectively? Wow! Mel wanted to catch some fish on fly so we stopped off at a jack spot where he caught a few and then bull sharks moved in and he said he wanted one of those as well. Well, I dropped back a jack and a few minutes later Mel had his hands full for the next 2 hours and 20 minutes. He landed his big bull shark at around 200 lbs and then we finished off catching a few more jacks on fly. What a goal for me, be like Mel at 78! Capt.

November 4, 2018 Report (Permit video!)

I had Casey on board today from West Palm Beach and he brought his two friends along from California Jimmy and Scott. The goal was Tarpon, Bonefish and permit. We had the right tide for early morning permit fishing so we hit the first spot under cloudy skies, high winds and pretty rough water but first cast yielded a big 20-plus pound permit for Jimmy and the second cast yielded an equal sized permit for Scott. After a hot start we looked for Tarpon but only found a couple and then we wrapped it up bone fishing where we had a couple shots at just a couple of fish so we used some shrimp and jigs in the finger channels and landed some fun species before calling it a day.

November 2, 2018 Report

Again back on David's boat today and it was a different day, thank God! We fished with John and Susie from Australia. We got some bait and hit a few spots which proved to be slow so we decided to go after big bull sharks and had five big bull sharks on but unfortunately we lost them all. Capt.

October 25, 2018 Report (Video)

After a day off I was back on the water today with Tim and his wife Jolene from Minnesota. Wow what a difference a day makes. The fishing was absolutely on fire and with a baitwell full of bait, we were on fish from the moment a bait hit the water with countless Jack's, mackerel, tuna and two Tarpon. it was an unbelievably red hot fishing day and so typical of the month that is to come.

October 23, 2018 Report

I was back on board David's boat today fishing with Steve and after getting some bait off we went. We worked hard all morning and today proved to be a slow day with no big bull sharks or Tarpon around and we tried a few other spots but nothing seem to be going on today. Capt.
