My Oh My, She's spoiled now! November 24, 2020

Ken loves to fish and we've been fishing for years together.  The last time he brought his 6 year old little girl Gianna and she was back, 2 years later, much bigger and ready to fish.  Ken really wanted her to catch her first bonefish and with 20 MPH winds it would be a challenge.  Other than the visibility being perfect, just about all the other variables were not to my liking but I had a mission before me.  Working hard and putting in the time, Gianna behaved really well and not long into the trip she was on her first bonefish, a 9lber!  Wow, what a way to get started!  Some time later another bonefish is one and this one is about 5 lbs.  Then a third one, this one giving us a long blistering run.  Several really long runs later we had about an 11lb bonefish in the boat.  Wow, what a way to get Gianna her first bonefish, and second and third!  Congrats girl, you rock!

Keeping them bent November 23, 2020

Jim and Annie flew in from Texas and Jim, being an avid fisherman, really wanted to try fishing in Miami.  We had a gorgeous day and with the live well loaded up we got on fish right away.  Using live pilchards the jacks and mangrove snappers kept Jim busy.  Then came the bull sharks and tossing out a bait in front of one of them guaranteed a hook up but then a spit hook, he never had the hook in him.  Then came another bite and Jim was on for about 15 minutes until the hook straightened.  Hmmm, that's odd.  We changed spots and hit a finger channel where we wrapped up the 4 hour trip catching more jacks and snappers including a nice mutton and some horse eye jacks.

First Timers and A Proud Dad November 15, 2020

Jake usually fishes with his friend Henry but today Jake brought his two little boys ages 7 and 11 to see of they would enjoy fishing from a boat.  Well, one of them did and the other not so much but we kept it light, close to the marina and targeted smaller fish they could handle.  At the end of the 3 hour trip, one of them wants to come back already!

Family Time November 14, 2020

George from the U.K. was back but this time he was with daughter and wife.  He booked a full day and wanted to keep the girls busy with different species and a boat tour as well so we did just that.  We caught bait and then we were off.  We hit a few spots and caught fish including some nice mutton snappers, mangrove snappers and more while showing the ladies around the bay and all the interesting and historical areas.  This was a very cool trip and it was great seeing George again and his family.

Fall's Mixed Bag November 13, 2020

Regular client Kevin from Utah brought his daughter and son in law and the goal was to keep them busy catching fish regardless of species.  Perfect, that's the perfect plan for fall.  So, I located some bait, threw the net a few times and loaded up the live well.  With enough bait on hand we fished a few different spots where they caught mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, yellow jacks, big blue runners, trigger fish and we lost a few really nice fish we couldn't keep out of the structure.  Then we hit the flats and got them some sharks.  It was a very cool trip with great people and the list of species caught was long.

And the wind continues.... November 5, 2020

 Kent and the gang were on for a second day and today we changed it up.  It was blowing 30 MPH today and we decided to stay close to the marina and in the lee of the wind as much as possible  Things worked out with the guys catching a bunch of mangrove snappers, jacks and we hooked a few bull sharks.  Nick was on the big bull shark and and hooked a nice 250 to 300lber.  The fight lasted 55 minutes and then the hook pulled.  Ouch!

This was a brutal yet satisfying day November 4, 2020

 Kent, his dad Jeff and brother Nick flew in from TX just to fish with for Kent's annual trip with me.  Well, with the wind blowing 30-35 MPH it would be a tough day but off we went.  The guys caught snappers, sharks and jacks and when the tide was right I took them to a flat that works for me and fished for bonefish.  We ended up hooking four and landing one bonefish, quite a feat in this relentless wind.  Whew, time for a nap!

Ask and You Shall Receive November 1, 2020

 Sometimes it just works out that way.  Ricky and his wife Samantha jumped aboard today and Ricky really wanted to land his first bonefish.  He's caught tons of fish before but this one still eluded him.  It was a gorgeous day but no the easiest with a steady 20 MPH wind blowing straight at us.  We went to a spot I really like, especially under these wind conditions and got to work.  It seemed like in no time later Ricky was hooked up and landed his first bonefish.  Whew, mission accomplished.  We could have had a double header but the second fish spit the hook.  After missing a few more bites and then getting slow we turned out attention to Samantha who really just wanted to catch fish and the shark she caught "didn't count".  LOL  I found bait, threw the net, loaded the well and hit a wreck.  Live chumming had the fish going nuts and they caught mutton snapper, yellow jacks, mangrove snappers and lost a few really nice fish.

Late Start, Fast Start October 23, 2020

 John called me at 8am wanting to go fishing today with his wife so I said yes and got ready.  Two hours later they were in the boat and off we went.  I got them on some fish from the beginning but I wanted them to catch something big.  I decided to run down to the flats and shark fish as John's wife really wanted to see sharks.  Well, we hooked 6 sharks and lost five, all to different reasons.  In the end, they were happy, I was happy and it was time to go home.

The three amigos October 18, 2020

 Today I had Chet and his two buddies aboard and they just wanted to catch fish.  I caught bait and off we went hitting a few spots where they caught different species to warm them up.  Then I took them to another spot that was loaded with jacks and kept them busy until the star performer showed up and when they did it was on!  Bull sharks couldn't resist the commotion and could be seen swimming close to the boat.  In the end we hooked five and lost all five.  Urgh!  They guys are now hooked and want a bull shark next time.  Me too!

Toughing it out in the "Glades October 14, 2020

 Today was supposed to be on fire as I looked at the forecast and the tide.  When Alec and I met up in the Everglades it was a different story.  The wind was cranking and there was much more water on the flats than there should've been.  Oh well, it's time to go to work.  We hit the first spot and the water was really dirty from the wind but did mange some bites and finally land a snook.  OK, it looks like it's going to be good since the first few minutes were solid.  Then, it slowed down.  We spent the rest of the trip looking for clean shallow water and every time we found it we scored.  In the end Alec had s good number of shots at redfish on the flats and landed a few snook.  Tough day but we caught some fish.
