Week Report July 1-14, 2024

The first week of July was off to a hot start. The first week I was fishing with repeat client Ron and we fished in Biscayne Bay and Everglades National Park.  Ron had never fished the Everglades before and after we did so on day two, he wanted to come back every day after that.  Admittedly, the fishing was not on fire but we caught fish and Ron had a blast catching lemon sharks on the flats, averaging 12 hook ups per trip!  Over the week, the species were varied with Ron catching bonefish, snook, redfish, sharks and jacks.  What a cool week with Ron! 

The following trip was with Brittany, her husband Fransisco and their little girl.  We decided to shark fish the Biscayne Bay flats and had a great time fighting lemon sharks in 2 feet of water.  

My last trip of the first half of the month was with regular client Chris and his wife Ashley.  They are such cool people and we had tons of shots at tailing bonefish on fly in super calm, super shallow conditions at day break.  As the tide dropped we had to move off before we got stuck and fished another area where Chris got his bonefish of the trip.  We have fished a few times already and he told me this was his 10th bonefish caught with me.  Wow!  Congrats Chris!

The end of June 17-30, 2024

 The second half of June had some tough conditions that kept me at home and rescheduling trips thanks to 7 days of constant rain we had move across the area.  But, I was able to sneak in a few trips and the first one was with Bob armed with a fly rod.  I took Bob to an area out of the wind and we were able to find some schools of bonefish moving through but they stayed just out of casting range.  Towards the end of the trip we finally got a bonefish to eat his fly but a split second worth of hesitation was enough to allow the bone to spit the fly.  Ouch!  the next trip was with Drew and we had perfect summer conditions, finally!  We found tons of bones and permit in super calm water and Drew had tons of shots.  The first bonefish he landed this morning was a 12 pounder, wow!  The second bone was about 8 and then there were 3 more for a total of 6 bonefish hooked and five landed.  What a day!  I ended the month fishing with Brooke and her son just fishing finger channels and they had a blast catching all sorts of snappers and jacks on our half day trip.
