Bobbie from Kansas City was onboard this morning for a half day of fun fishing in Biscayne Bay and boy did we have a blast! Between a steady supply of bent rods by trout, jacks and snappers and funny stories our four hours went by quicker than expected. The fishing has improved on the backside of the new moon and the trout in south Biscayne Bay during the incoming tide were aggressive and eating our soft plastic shrimp under corks. We ended the day by Bobbie landing the biggest trout of the day on the last cast, a nice 18+ inch trout. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Night Tarpon Report December 2, 2013

Tonight I had Jeff from Atlanta on board for some tarpon on fly action. The main areas this time of year for night time tarpon fishing is around bridges on the outgoing tide. The action was slower than expected tonight but it did pick up towards the end of the outgoing tide around 2am. We had numerous tarpon bust on shrimp and whitebait around the boat and had two bites on fly. We also had a nice snook track the fly out of the bridge's shadow line but decide not to eat once it saw the boat. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBonefishing.com

Bob and Carter from Texas came down to experience Miami's Biscayne Bay and have some fun. We caught mackerel on Tsunami Zip Jig Pros and Buccaneer Glass Minnow Jigs including a few huge hits that destroyed our leaders and provided an instant cut off! We also caught snappers and some short black groupers. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

The day after Thanksgiving had Nestor and Jared from N.Y. on board for a half day of fun in the warm sun. Relentless 25 MPH winds from the north had us looking for clean water in order to locate fish. We started early morning on some trout grass flats and while the water was dirty, there were trout around but striking short making it difficult to set the hook on them. Seeking shelter from the wind we had more strikes from a number of other species but no hook ups, urgh! As the day progressed the wind began to blow harder and we found a huge mackerel blow up a bait next to the boat but again, no hook up! We ended the day with a short run back to the ramp in the lee of the wind. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBonefishing.com

Today Peter and I were on day two of a two day fly fishing trip and my what a stark difference from yesterday. This morning we faced 25-30 MPH winds and fast moving rain bands that kept us looking for leeward side of keys and points. On the back side of one key we had shots at a group of three big mudding bonefish but no hook ups. On several other locations we saw a few familiar boils, tell tale signs of spooked big bonefish. We had to cut the trip short due to the deteriorating weather conditions. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

An increasing easterly wind greeted Steve and I today as we target different species on fly in south Biscayne Bay. Avoiding storms due east of us forced us to head south to a great bonefish near Key largo and the area did not disappoint. On the second flat we fished we found 4 separate schools of friendly bonefish but their zig zagging erratic movement made it hard to place an accurate fly before them. Steve made some accurate casts but the relaxed bones refused our offering. On the next flat, two monster permit awaited us, one in the 30 pound class and the other in the 40 pound class! They made us work for the one shot we had and Steve made a cast to the second fish but the fish suddenly became alarmed and spooked, spooking his larger buddy as well. Urgh! A few yards later a mudding stingray had four bonefish on it and Steve’s quick and accurate cast we rewarded with an eat but the fish spit out the fly just as quickly. With worsening visibility we changed species and caught several nice trout on fly. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Slick calm conditions continued today and I have been booked solid thereby enjoying the calm conditions to the fullest. Scott and Dave were aboard today for a mixed bag of fly fishing action and we had a blast. With calm conditions I was able to get offshore a bit and fish for mackerel on fly with long shank flies and sinking fly line. We were treated to steady action on fly and on artificial lures with South Beach serving as a beautiful background. When Scott and Dave had their fill of mackerel on fly we moved inshore for trout on fly. Using heavy clousers and a trick technique numerous trout came aboard to pay us a visit. The day ended catching snappers on spinning tackle and a smooth run back to the dock. What a stretch of great weather and action we’ve had this week. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com
