Local resident Orlando gave himself a bonefish charter for Christmas and I wanted to make sure he would "unwrap" his Christmas present early. We started by fishing in South Biscayne Bay and catching trout on soft plastics as we waited for the tide to turn and give us the best current flow for bonefishing. Once the time was right we headed to the oceanside flats and didn't move from one flat for the rest of the trip. As I got us into position we spooked a few bones and I knew the flat would be productive. The next five hours were spent taking shot after shot at big single bonefish, doubles and schools of 3-5 fish. Orlando was able to get this bonefish to the boat on a big live shrimp and I was very happy for him. Merry Christmas Orlando! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Joey from Ft. Lauderdale was on-board today with much calmer early morning winds than forecasted. We took advantage of the light winds and fly fished for trout in the morning and had success. We caught trout on fly and soft plastics as well as a few mangrove snappers that sneaked in as well. As the winds picked up we moved to fish the finger channels and had a blast catching a number of mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, yellow tail snapper and big porgies. When we pulled anchor to head back to the dock we had gone through 50 baits, not counting the earlier fish we landed on artificials! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

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
