On Fire Report Week of March 11-17, 2024

 It's been on fire!  This past week has been absolutely solid when it comes to fishing and the weather has been great as well.  Water temp have been rising and the fish have been really friendly this week.  The first three days of this week were mainly charters to catch whatever was biting and it was so much fun.  From snappers, to yellow jacks, sharks and more everything has been biting and proving some really good times.  I have tarpon fished a bit in the mornings but they have been MIA so the day time tarpon fishing is a bust this season so I'll turn my attention to more productive species and fishing this spring.  The balance of the week were spent mainly fishing for bonefish but we missed in some other targets as well.  I had Tom and Wyatt for two days and the guys killed it on the first day with seven bonefish.  Wow! The following day the bone fishing slowed but we fished the finger channels and they caught yellow jacks and some really nice grouper on bonefish tackle, what a fight!  Saturday I had Dan and his friend Michael and we tried for bonefish for about an hour with no success but they caught a bunch of hard fighting ladyfish and sone jacks before heading to the finger channels and having a blast with yellow jacks.  I ended the week with two trips on Sunday, my morning was with Mark and his girlfriend Ryan and they had a blast with hot shark fishing on the flats hooking a lemon shark every 15 minutes it seemed and the afternoon trip was with Pat and Peggy who caught a few different species before turning our attention to bonefish and they killed landing four bonefish, losing to and missing a few more bites.  Not bad for a really windy, busy boating Sunday on Biscayne Bay.  It's been a blast this week!

Week Report March 1-10, 2024

Wow, how quickly things change.  We went from a very cold February to now a very warm March.  The first week March has not only been warm but the fishing has been solid.  I've been working every day these first 10 days and pretty much every day has been solid.  The finger channels have been holding a number of snappers and plenty of yellow jacks.  These are pretty, hard fighting and tasty fish that are a blast to catch.  Bonefishing has been very steady with bones being caught on almost every trip mainly on spinning tackle making it easier on the increasing breeze.  The tarpon fishing has been all but dead during the day with very few migratory fish around and a few reports of slow tarpon fishing at night.  While this may not be the norm for night time tarpon fishing, it is certainly the feedback I have received from a couple of other guides.  But more importantly, this past week has been great for pretty much anything swimming in Biscayne Bay and this coming week should be the same.  Here are a few pics from this past week.

End of Month February 22-29, 2024

Ok, it's official, I'm tired!  This month I had two days off all month and most of it has been fishing in the cold.  We have had back to back to back cold fronts and most days this month I have woken up to 45-51 degree mornings.  As for the fishing, the fish haven't missed a step and the last week of the month has been solid with a mixed bag of charters and species.  About half my trips at month end have been bonefish and the other half have been to catch whatever was biting, thankfully both have been great!  fishing oceanside floats for bonefish proved tough at first and then the end of the outgoing tide proved to be the ticket.  Moving off the flats into the finger channels there have been plenty of yellow jacks and snappers to fill the moments between casts, yes it's been fun!  Here are a few pictures of clients the last seven days but from Paul landing a 10 pound bonefish on fly to James boating solid yellow jacks, it's been awesome!
