Week report November 27-30, 2023

I ended this month super busy and closing it out in a big way. In Monday I had Nathan from East central Florida.  He's been fishing with me for about 5 years now and dang it every time we fish either the weather stinks or the fishing is dead. Well, today the weather was great and with the moon phase I swore the Bonefishing would be on fire. Did you catch that?  Anyway, it wasn't. We had a shot at tailing permit to start the morning and then silence for a while until we went Oceanside and fished the shoreline of an island that usually produces if not for the shear amount of water we can cover.  Here Nathan had a few shots at bonefish crossing along the shore and they wouldn't eat. Then he spotted a single fish over rocks and reef. I poled him into position and he laid the fly just perfect, for a tiny barracuda to eat it in front of the bonefish. No!  Then the little cuda jumps off, the fly drops and Nathan strips. That bonefish rushed the fly and ate it 15'  from the boat. It was awesome and that was our first fish in 5-6 trips. Wow what a relief.  Later on we fished another flat that has been producing at the end of the tide and sure enough they were there, just one school not the numerous schools I've been seeing but Nathan stuck a nice tailing bonefish before the end of the trip. It was awesome!!!   Whew, now Nathan and I can concentrate on fishing since our curse is over.  On the last day of the month I fished with Supin and his parents neither of them had ever fished before. It was a two hour trip and they caught their first fish and plenty of jacks and snappers.  What a month it's been and the season is just starting. It's going to be a good season!  Capt.  Mo Estevez  786-853-1409 www.MiamiBonefishing.com Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBonefishing

Weekly report November 19-25, 2023

 The week of Thanksgiving always finds me busy, but boy this was another level. I had regular client, David and his friend Clay on Sunday for a six hour trip fly fishing for bonefish tarpon permit, and then a four hour trip in the afternoon with another regular client Mike . The morning had us finding a few tarpon which we had some shots at on fly and then losing two bonefish before heading in picking up Mike and focusing on bonefish. inexplicably the same spots that I fished with David and Clay and yielded two bonefish, ended up, proving a bonanza for Mike as he hooked six and landed four. The Following day Monday through Wednesday, Mike and I would fish full days. The first two days were in Biscayne Bay and Monday I looked for live pilchards, blacked out the well and live chummed channels. This was a blast as we watched yellow jacks exploding on the Bait and Mike casting to the schools and hooking up almost instantly on some of his casts. Tuesday was a bit slower thanks to some nasty wind so we decided Wednesday on our last day to fish flamingo in the Everglades. This was a blast as Mike had a ton of shots at redfish riding on top of stingrays and then I took him to the interior of the Everglades. He had not fished this area before, and he absolutely loved it, especially since we fished the mouth of a small creek at the beginning and at the end of our trip inside the Everglades and hooking snook and Tarpon Pretty consistently. At one point he was hooking little tarpon on every third or fifth cast and some snook miked in as well. It was awesome and a blast. Friday after Thanksgiving I fished with David again and today was better as we started off with some shots at permit, and he hooked a tarpon briefly before the jump caused the leader to wrap around the gill plate and cut us off. After my six hour trip with David I was back out again with regular longtime client Ken and his two kids for a four hour trip. We had to fish in the rain for a while but eventually it cleared and the kids had a blast, catching snappers and jacks and blue runners. We tried to bonefish a little bit at the beginning of the trip as we waited for the storms to pass, and although we didn’t hook any bonefish, they caught two big Mojarras which they found pretty exciting. Kids are so funny. The end of the week had me fishing with Paul and we found some fun yellow jacks and big blue runners at first to start the day. Then our hunt for Tarpon and snook proved to be futile, but we wrapped up the day on the flats fishing for bonefish, and found quite a few schools of mudding bonefish. Paul made some good casts but missed the bite on one and got broken off by another bonefish before we headed back in. Wow it’s been a crazy week but the fishing has been a ton of fun. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Week report November 13-18, 2023

This week was a mixed bag of bonefishing and just bending rods and having a good time. My week started off with Victor and his wife from Ukraine and the goal was to catch a few fish for dinner which we quickly did catching fun yellow jacks and tasty snappers. Then we switched off and fished the flats for sharks where we hooked up three or four sharks and Victor was thoroughly impressed with the speed and power of lemon sharks in 2 feet of Clearwater. Then I had Benji, Arman and Riley, and it was another fun day of just bending rods and catching a lot of fish. Riley had never caught a fish before and pretty soon she had outfished the boys. Way to go, girl! My bonefish trip was with regular client Ralph, which fishes with me every year right before Thanksgiving and it was a slow start but eventually Ralph caught a 3 pound bonefish and then quickly upgrade it to a much nicer fish to wrap up our quick four hour morning trip. This week has been a lot of fun with a mixed bag of species and fishing being solid all the way around.

Week report November 8-11, 2023

I've been so swamped with charters that's it's been hard to update my reports page one trip at a time so I'll update for the week instead. 

The week of November 8-11 we focused mostly on bonefish and permit and it worked out most of the time for bonefish but the permit were inconsistent early mornings.  

on November 8th I had Charles and his wife fly fishing for bonefish for a 3/4 day and he was able to get his first bonefish and then a few more with 4 in total on fly. 

 On the 10th I had Scott and his son for a 6 hour trip and we had some shots, plenty actually at permit and then switched off to bonefish where the guys caught six in a few hours.  It was actually really good and the guys had a blast. 

On the 11th I had Andrew and today was a tough day with us just getting one bonefish and a small one at that.  Heck, I'll take a bonefish any day but compared to how the fishing has been today was a slow day.  I did notice this week as we got closer to the full moon the fish were getting smaller as the larger sexually mature fish were getting ready to go offshore and spawn.

This is what November is like November 6, 2023

The weather from my last trip finally broke and was replaced by perfect November conditions.  Thankfully I had Rob from Boston who brought his fly rod and wanted to target bonefish and permit.  Conditions were way off for permit so we focused on bonefish.  The first spot was dead and I started to get a bit anxious hoping it would be a good day.  Spot two was actually pretty good with Rob quickly landing two smaller bonefish on fly.  As I poled him around we could see the puffs on the bottom from bonefish we were spooking out but couldn't see due to very high water levels and a bit of overcast conditions.  eventually we saw another school and Rob snipe one out of the school.  We're up to three bonefish at this point.  The fishing slowed down and we fished another flat where ti was dead.  As soon as I started to consider moving on I saw a big single bone, then a school and then a few more.  The schools were moving pretty consistently and eventually rob got another three on this flat bringing our total to 6 before we headed in.  Six Miami bonefish on fly, ha, I'll take that every day!

The silver lining was worth the effort. November 4, 2023

What a start and not for the good as I fished today with two awesome guys, Stephen and Rob.  They wanted to fish for bonefish but there was constant drizzle and the sky was a thick grey.  We took off and fished a spot I like and my hopes were up as we had the perfect tide and it was out of the increasing 15 MPH wind.  Ha, what do I know!  This spot was dead and only a few bonefish could be seen in the distant as they swam in water that was still way too deep for the tide stage we were at.  OK, off to the next spot.  This spot usually produces but man it was slow for a while, no fish, no muds, no flashes, nothing.  Until finally the bones started to swim through at the end of the outgoing tide and are were able to hook 3 and land two, one for each of the guys.  Close call but not bad considering the terrible conditions.

Week Halloween Report October 31, 2023

The last week and a half have been a bit tough on the water due to unusually high winds in the 20-25 MPH range and huge tides.  The bulk of what I was booked for was just catching fish so we did just that but we had to pick our spots due to the wind.  The tides were almost well over two feet above normal due to the king tide plus an hard east wind filling the bay with even more water.  On two trips we did target bonefish and snook and while we did get a few bites on each, there were no hook ups or landed fish to brag about.  

On Halloween I fished with local angler and long time client Alec for a full day.  We finally had perfect fall weather and a good tide but still at least 2 feet above normal.  We worked quickly through the incoming tide and had shots at small tarpon, saw some bonefish and had a couple of snook bites before looking for pilchards (bait).  the finger channels were really hard to fish because of the unusually strong current so we found bait, I loaded up the well and hit a few spots to live chum mutton snappers and yellow jacks.  We found a few yellow jacks but no muttons.  We wrapped up our trip live chumming for snook and had one hit but ended up catching a nice mangrove snapper instead before we headed back to clean fish for dinner.

Silver and Gold. October 18, 2023

I had Barry again today and we started off fishing for small tarpon but didn't hook any of them.  Actually, we barely saw any of them, go figure!  Fishing a creek we did find snook where Barry landed one but lost three others when the snook would jump and spit the hook.  A few other times Barry had snook hit the lure right next to the boat and we could see their big mouths wide open trying to eat the lure, so cool!  We wrapped it up bone fishing where there were tons of bonefish swimming and we ended up hooking three and landing one.  With the amount of fish we saw we should have done better but it is what it is.

This is it! October 16, 2023

This morning I fished with Jake for a 6 hour charter.  Last time we fished Jan caught 11 bonefish!  Today we were looking for permit and some dinner.  The weather was perfect as it usually is in October and off we went.  The schools of migrating mullet were getting crushed we so made a detour and threw top water lures at the schools trying to land some snook but we ended up catching a nice jack instead.  We moved of for permit and they were MIA in spite of great conditions.  Off to tarpon where Jake had four tarpon blow up his top water and finally hooked one that got right next to the boat before spitting the hook.  Time to look for pilchards and get dinner but the pilchards were also MIA so we used live shrimp and caught yellow jacks and snapper.  Wrapping it up we targeted bonefish and in 45 minutes Jake caught three bonefish.  Dang, that's a nice day!

Launching Into Fall October 1-7, 2023

Here we go, my favorite time of year and right before I took off on vacation I was pretty busy already with god groups and great fishing.  The trips ranged from a guy's drinking trip with fishing rods to hunting down bonefish and permit.  The fishing has been solid the first week of October with the following going on:

Out of The Ocean Reef Club my guys were here to drink and maybe fish and in the process they caught plenty of snappers and jacks and lost three bonefish along the way.  The following day Barry caught his first bonefish in a long time and had tons of shots at early morning permit. My afternoon trip the same day was with Arman and his two friends and they loaded up on fish dinner with school master snappers and yellow jacks.   Wrapping up my week before I went on vacation I was with Jeff and his two boys and although they didn't land any snook, they did hook tarpon and then got worn out catching jacks and a number of different species.  It was a good week!

Wrapping up the month. September 30, 2023

I wrapped up the month with three great guys, Edward, Gustavo and Samuel from Texas.  They wanted to catch anything and have a great time. Samuel started off by hooking a high flying tarpon but it came off.  We struggled to get lots of action so we went shark fishing and the guys all hooked up.  Very cool!

Back from vacation September 28, 2023

After a nice vacation I was back to work with local client Arman.  Arman likes to catch dinner but conditions were right for a surprise so I took him to where we could accomplish both.  We had a steady stream of bent rods catching snappers and he quickly got his fill of fish dinner until his rod went off in a weird way.  Ha, I knew it.  After a nice fight he had his first bonefish to the boat and we ended up hoking two more.  Nice!

Bone before the vacation. September 9, 2023

Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Aaron a few days before I headed off on vacation.  It is definitely starting to feel like fall with a bit cooler weather and less humidity plus signs of a few schools of mullet moving around.  I love it!  Anyway, Aaron was armed with a fly rod and we got some shots at bones and eventually hooked up and landed a nice bonefish.  The half day trip went by so fast and before we knew it we had to head back.  I love fall!

Bonefish Every Day! September 4-8, 2023

I had the pleasure of fishing with Ron from Arizona for four days.  The plan was for Ron to catch his first bonefish and realize a dream of his after a friend told him how special bonefish were.  Well, we spent four days bone fishing and it worked out pretty well.  Using a combination of live shrimp on a split shot and live shrimp on a jig to cover more ground as we worked areas I knew they travel in, Ron worked it.  The first two days were tough with each day providing one bonefish per day.  Great, he got one but we really needed more.  Days two and three were a bast with Ron getting a combined 4 bonefish and a permit on the last two days.  so, final tally was 10 bonefish and a permit in four days of fishing.  Ron said he was well pleased.  I am too Ron!

Chad is back August 25, 2023

Chad fished with me 5 years ago and was back today for a full day of mixing it up.  We worked hard early morning to get him his first bonefish but there were snook around so we began by throwing top waters at snook missing a couple of bites and landing a cool jack that crushed the top water lure.  Along the way I noticed we blew out a few bonefish so we switched to buck tail jigs and on the third cast Chad got his first bonefish.  Wow!  We fished here and there for more bones with no more hook ups so we fished a few more spots and ended up sharks fishing on the flats and having a blast doing that.  It was a cool trip with a very cool guy.  Thanks Chad!

Week in Review August 14-24, 2023

This week I had a few father son trips and a fly fishing trip with local angler Dean.  My father and son trips were mainly shark trip and the kids had a blast catching bait and then sharks on the flats.  Fishing has been good generally although the bonefishing hasn't been as solid as I would have liked even though water temps are much better now.  We'll see what next week brings us.

Tank! August 11, 2023

Eric and his son Will booked me for a full day, in August!  They wanted to mix it up but with the conditions we had I told them we would start off bonefishing.  I had to fish a different area than I usually do for bonefish for a few different reasons but we hit it just right and those bonefish were pouring through big time!  This would be a short window of opportunity and they have been schooling in a different area than normal but we were ready.  The guys made some casts at these schools but the bones would move off just enough to avoid our live shrimp.  Another school was moving through and Will made a long cast WAY in front of the school, like 30' in front, and waited.  This time he hooked up and it was on!  A long fight later and some brutal beat down of my reel's drag, Will got his double digit bonefish to the boat.  Wow!  Quite honestly, I can't remember what happened the rest of the trip since I am writing this about a week later and that bonefish was the highlight.  Anyway, it was a good trip and fantastic for Will!

Cool mom! August 9, 2023

Chelsea booked a trip for her boys, 15 and 14 year old hardcore fishermen sons.  This was a cool trip where we caught a bunch of different species and kept mixing it up.  Towards the end of the trip we decided to shark fish with some of the fish we caught and set up on one of my favorite flats on this tide for sharks.  Well, we set the baits out and the chum slick and waited.  Not long after, I see some shadows and tails working towards us in the increasingly shallow water.  Just as I had mentioned a few minutes before to the boys, these were bonefish coming towards us, a gift from God!  Well, I put on a shrimp and cast in front of the school and handed the rod to James.  A hard tap later, the rod bent, the reel started to sign and he was on!  James got to land his first bonefish, we hooked some sharks and tons of smaller fun fish.  What a morning!

"I want bonefish" August 8, 2023

That's what Bruce had told me when he jumped aboard with his son.  I made sure we start early for two reasons, 1: the best bite has been on the outgoing tide and 2: we need to beat the heat and avoid the 91 degree water temps we have been seeing by late morning.  With that in mind we idled out of the marina for our half day trip and worked it.  The first spot was slow so we moved off to another flat and the bites were coming but not the hooking.  We broke the ice with Bruce hooking the first bonefish he got to eat and the pressure was half way off.  But, we missed a few bites until his son was able to keep a hook in a bone and got his first one to the boat before we called it a day.

Boys day out August 5, 2023

Dad/sons day out on the boat today with Steven and his two boys Jack and Travis.  They wanted to bonefish and catch sharks so we started off our full day bonefishing.  The conditions were great but the full moon meant a decent number of fish were offshore spawning but there were some still around.  We missed tow bites early on  and then made a move.  At the 4th spot we finally hooked up and Jack got his first bonefish.  By this time it was about 9 am and there were boats everywhere including running right behind our boat and spooking everything around so we gave up on bonefishing and went to catch shark bait.  Here the boys had a great time pulling on small snappers and grunts.  We kept the grunts and hit the flats, my favorite flat on the incoming tide and it proved dead.  OK, we fished my second favorite flat on the incoming and that did it.  Here we saw a massive hammer head shark in about 2 1/1' of water right by the boat, it was awesome!  Oh, and we hooked several sharks and landed one before we called it a day.

Weeks Report July 28-4, 2023

The end of July and the first few days of August were all about beating the heat and bending rods.  Bonefishing was been fair with lots of early morning activity but the fish have been really spooky and the same for lots of the permit that have been around.  For many clients, the ask has been to catch fish as well as sharks on the flats.  Again, early morning has been beast to beat the heat and fish the 88 degree water and not the 91 degree water later on in the day.  Fishing around the full moon was tough but we caught fish and the fishing will get better as the full moon phases passes.  Here are a few pics for the week.

Screw the heat! July 22, 2023

"Alex, 11 o'clock 30 feet, cast 10 feet in front of the wake!  Tyler you cast 2 o'clock 35 feet, 10 feet in front of the wake!"  That's how today started with zero wind, calm conditions and bonefish all around.  Early on Tyler hooked and lost a freight train of a bonefish and then lost another one while Alex missed the bite on a third one, all within 45 minutes of our trip.  What a way to start!  Once the fast and furious action subsided an hour later, we poled off 100 yards and schools were coming straight at us down a shore line.  School after school and shot after shot started to add up until the tide slackened and so did the fishing.  So far we were licking our wounds having lost two fish, missed another bite and no matter how good the cast these guys were making, the schools of bonefish would swim over our live shrimp and not eat it, probably not seeing it.  Man that was tough.  But, oh but, when that tide turned I had grown concerned because most of the best fishing has been on the outgoing tide.  Oh, but I said "but".  Once the tide turned and started coming back in it was on and the guys got three bonefish each for a total at the end of the trip of 9 bonefish hooked and six landed.  Yes, that is what summer is all about!!!  Well, I'm taking a few days off for my birthday but I'll be back at the end of next week and ready to get back to work.

Working through the heat July 16, 2023

Man it's been hot but that comes as no surprise to anyone reading this report.  Today I had Jonathan and Mary Ann aboard for a 6 hour Sunday trip.  Right off the bat at 7am the water temps were 88 degrees and the bonefishing was slow.  I moved them to other flats to shark fish and boy was it slow with Jonathan hooking a nice lemon shark but the hook coming free about 10 minutes into the fight.  At this point the water temps had reached 90 degrees and I wasn't seeing much activity so we moved on to wrap up the trip bonefishing.  It turned out this was the right call and it paid off with Jonathan landed his first bonefish.  Whew, that was close!

Key Largo BBI Event July 13, 2023

Well, the fun BBI tournament in Key Largo was back on today after Covid shut it down for 3 years.  This is a fund raising tournament for a ministry that helps single moms coming out of abusive relationships and they are assisted with job training, clothing, work, shelter and more.  I had three very cool people on board today in Dawn, Jan and James.  They were so laid back they told me they would like to be back early so we fished for three hours and in the process Dawn landed a really nice snook, James lost a tarpon and landed a jack while Jan sat back and relaxed.  Then, they decided it was time to hit the pool and we were done for the day.  Such cool people and I'm glad it all worked out for us.

Bonefish/Tailers/Broken Hearts July 5-8, 2023

These last few days has been bonefish and permit fishing with different clients such as Mark, Elie and Dorian.  I have to admit, a 6AM start has been the key and for the last of the outgoing tide the fishing has been on fire with tailing bonefish and permit all over the place.  Sounds awesome right?  Well, it has bene but we haven't been hooking fish.  It's really been a combination of short casts, spooky fish and casts that were off by a mere 12".  When there are tailing fish the margin for error is close to zero and even when you do things right it just doesn't happen.  It's been a frustrating week.

Double in the heat! July 3, 2023

I had two trips today, rare for this time of year, and both trips went well.  In the morning I fished with Matt and his wife Danielle and you couldn't meet nice people.  Since they got to the marina about 30 minutes late we decided to fish for bonefish south of us and avoid a long time consuming run to the ocean side of the bay.  The fishing started slow but eventually Matt got his first bonefish and Danielle hooked two, losing both and we missed a couple of more takes.  

In the afternoon Arman jumped aboard with two buddies, Josh and Josh.  We basically ran around trying to catch dinner but the water temps were at 90 degrees and all the larger fish were MIA.  However, Josh did get his first bonefish and that is always awesome.  When I got home my family tells me the heat index was 114 degrees, the hottest day of the year so far.  Hmm, it didn't seem that hot out on the water.

Tailers SUCK! July 2, 2023

If there is one word to describe tailing bonefish in ultra shallow, ultra calm water is SPOOKY!  I got an early start today with and his friend in order to target bonefish and permit on fly.  Six AM at the dock before things got hot and crazy and off we went where the tailing bonefish have been as predictable as it can get.  They were there and they were spooky!  Lex can throw a fly and made some really good casts at them but they would spook while the fly was in the air.  We then switched to fishing for small tarpon and we got shots at a few schools of tailing permit.  WOW!  In the end we didn't hook a fish but the shots were there and the adrenaline was flowing fast and often.

Ending the month strong June 30, 2023

I always like to end the month on a high note and June was no exception.  Man was it hot today as Fax and I chased bonefish on fly!  We started at 7am and by 8:30am it was scorching.  As I poled all morning long after schools of bonefish the heat felt like it was increasing every half hour.  But, it was worth it.  As I poled along we blew out a few snook and eventually Fax got a snook on fly, his first on a fly rod.  Then the rest of the time we were setting up on schools of bonefish that were cruising and tailing around us.  We had some really solid shots but the bones never got a fly in their mouths.  Once conditions changed we hit the finger channels looking for hard fighting and tasty yellow jacks but most fish were MIA in the 89 degree water.  We called it a day a few minutes early and got rained on as we idled in the marina channel and it was actually really refreshing.

They got spoiled! June 23, 2023

I got a last minute call from Bobby and he wanted to go fishing with his wife Rachael while down here on vacation and since that was my only open day, I was open and we decided to head out.  I gave them the two best options for fun fish, sharks or bonefish as the snappers run small in the summer.  Bobby decided to bonefish and so we were off.  It wasn't epic and we had to work but Rachael scored first with her first bonefish.  There was quite a lull of slow fishing and fish not swimming much but eventually Bobby hooked up but ended up losing the fish moments later.  A bit later he hooked up again and landed his first bonefish.  Yes!  Right before the trip was over he got another take but the hook never did set properly.  Well, I can't complain as they both caught their bonefish!

I had my morning trip with Brian and his daughter.  They wanted to try out fishing in Biscayne Bay while on vacation so we hit the flats and shark fished.  They ended up hooking 4 sharks and losing them all.  That was weird but that was not it.  We ran back to a flat at my favorite stage of the tide for a quick change up.  This one was more for Brian and not long into fishing this flat, he hooked up and landed his first bonefish, a nice one at that!  We decided to keep it in the net in order to not beat the fish up and we wrapped up a really nice morning trip.
