This is how to wrap up January, January 1-31, 2026

Sure it's been cold and windy but the fish have to eat and my clients have decided to go for it and it's paid off.  More tarpon are moving in with the cold and they have been in a good mood.  Night time tarpon are stacking up on the bridges while days time tarpon have been prowling their usual day time spots.  Bonefishing slowed down the last few days due to the cold but before the cold front it has been pretty good. I haven't been snook fishing but there have been other species to fill in the gap such as some pompano, mackerel, ladyfish, jacks and snappers.  While the wind has made us pick our spots, those spots have been solid producing a bunch of species while staying out of the wind.  This last cold front will slow down bonefishing for a few days and add permit to that as well but it should keep all the aforementioned species active and willing to give us a nice fight.  Stay warm everyone and I'll let you know how the first half of February is soon enough.

And it continues! January 1-15, 2026

Yes, we've a cold front in January. No it's not strange but it is strange that we've only had one.  The weather has been spectacular and the fishing on fire.  There was a bit off a dip after the last cold front but the ship quickly righted itself and all is well now.  The species list has been long starting with bonefish and tarpon but adding to the list so far this month has been pompano, jacks, yellow jacks, snappers, moon fish and a few more to keep the rods bent and the action going.  We've hooked a couple of permit but they didn't seem to make it to the boat.  So, fishing has been really good, it's been fun and there have been a lot of species making our days full of action and laughs.  Stay warm and stay tuned for my next report.

Incredible Finish! December 16-31, 2025

Wow, what an incredible second half of December we’ve had in Miami. The bay has been firing on all cylinders and with the exception of the last couple days of the month it’s been relatively warm. Although the air temperature has been warm, the water temperatures have been cooling and that has caused permit to stack up as well as Pompano mackerel Snapper jacks tarpon, just about everything has been devouring anything thrown at them. The highlight of the last two weeks of December has been permit on almost every single trip and we’ve also been hooking Tarpon in the 100 pound class with pretty good frequency. As we move into 2026 January should continue this incredible fishing with plenty of action for everyone. On a number of occasions I’ve had trips where clients just wanted to catch a lot of species and the yellow jacks have been out in full force and mixed in with them have been big Porgies, mutton snappers, yellow tail snappers and some mackerels. Oh how can I forget, bone fishing has been pretty solid as well. You know it’s been an incredible month when I left bonefish for last. I hope you guys had a great New Year’s and I wish you guys the best this coming year!
