Capt Mo's Fishing Reports: January 2022

First trip of the year January 6, 2022

This is really crazy, we're already in 2022 and it feels like we skipped over 2020. Any way, happy new year everyone! Business and the fishing was on fire but as soon as the new year hit with the huge spikes in Covid infections and flight cancellations things got quite quick but not for regular client Alex, his dad Bert and their friend Karim. I was looking for a good day today with Alex and it was good from the first cast. I took them to a spot where there have been plenty of species within 50' of each other and they warmed up on jacks, small grouper, snappers and look downs. As the spot started to sputter I took them to the finger channels where we caught the last of the tide and they caught plenty of yellow jack and snapper dinner. Once the tide stopped and the fishing slowed I took them tarpon fishing but they were MIA so off we went to bonefish. Dang, it started tough as we missed two solid bites and then lost two hooked fish. However, towards the end Bert hooks up and caught his first bonefish in decades. Awesome!

The Last Trip December 3, 2021

Last trip with Jeff, Will and Drew out of a three day trip today. Taking advantage of the tide we looked for permit but they were MIA as were the bonefish. Hmm, Drew usually catches bonefish with me but we've struck out the last two times. However, they wanted to focus on catching fish to eat so we put the glory species aside and searched for dinner. A spot we tend to fish together produced, big time! At first it was pretty slow but I moved about 50 feet and man that was the trick. Fish are weird how they can be a few feet away and you don't know it. Well, I figured they wouldn't be too far away and the minor change paid off. It was fish on every cast for all three catching big yellow jacks, mangrove snapper, mutton snappers, look downs and more. They took plenty of fish back to the hotel and I wrapped up a great year on a high note with great clients/friends. Happy new year everyone!
