Jacques and Ed were aboard for their second annual "fishing with Capt. Mo after the conference" trip. While the afternoon trip started with 20MPH winds, it ended with winds over 25MPH. Fishing was slow overall but Jacques lost a nice fish that seemed like a nice snook and we got into some tarpon but they had lock jaw. We also lost a few nice hits from trout. It has definitely been tough fishing in this wind. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

March 12, 2014 AM & PM Report

AM Report Ken and Cameron from MA were ready for some relief from the snow that has plagued the NE. The fishing was slower than expected but we did catch numerous trout and had about an 80lb tarpon blow up and try to eat Cameron's soft plastic on 8lb test! That was awesome!

PM Report Alan and son from Alabama were aboard in the afternoon to enjoy Miami from the water and catch come fish. We played hide and seek from the now 25+ MPH winds and managed to catch some trout and miss a few more that clobbered out soft plastic baits. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

March 11, 2014 AM & PM Reports

AM Report Scott was on a quick stop in Miami on his way to a cruise and wanted to fly fish for bonefish. The last time we fished we caught mackerel and trout on fly but today we were upping the game. Ran as we might and hard as we fished the bonefish and permit we scarce. We did manage a couple of shots at permit and a few more shots at bones but a slow day overall. PM Report Ryan from Montana wanted to try bonefish on fly so off we went to the oceanside flats. The tide was now going out and the fishing certainly improved. Ryan had half a dozen shots at permit and some shots at bonefish. On one cast he laid the fly right in front of the permits face, strip, strip. The permit sees the fly, turns on it, chases it to the bottom and then turns away and swims off! Wow, that hurt! That's permit for you, even when you do everything right they still reject you! Capt.

March 10, 2014 Report

Today I had Mo from N.Y. on board for a half day of fly fishing in South Biscayne Bay. We had some shots at bonefish and the elusive Biscayne Bay redfish but no takes. We then moved to trout fishing on fly but no takers. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

March 7, 2014 Report

Matt and Bill were part of a group of guys that wanted to spend a few hours fishing in Biscayne Bay. The day started with a run to South Beach for tarpon but a mild cold front scattered them. Running to a favorite trout flat that would block the now 25MPH west winds gave up trout as expected but the fishing was slow. We made the run to a new flat I had scouted which would block the now near 30MPH winds and we scored. Matt and Bill landed some nice trout and the short run back was certainly bumpy. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

March 6, 2014 Report

Local transplant Ross and his dad Brad from Virginia wanted to hit the water and catch some fish. We started tarpon fishing early morning trying to take advantage of the weather before it got worst with an approaching front. Finding several schools of tarpon, they were definitely present but finicky. We got a bite on one of the rods but it was a subtle bite and the fish didn't get hooked. With only two hours left and the cloud cover moving in we sped off to nearby trout flats. The first flat was slow but the second flat we worked definitely held fish. We ended up releasing numerous trout and losing about a half dozen BIG trout, one just a few feet from the boat. Our run back to the ramp was rough and rainy and we arrived just in time to avoid the worst of the approaching weather. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

March 5, 2014 Report

Scheduled to fly fish for bonefish with a local client I woke to some great conditions. Unfortunately, on the way to the boat ramp conditions began to deteriorate and by the time I met the client at the ramp it was rainy and windy. Geeze! We decided to reschedule for later in the month but being on the water already I decided to wait out the rain and do a little fishing myself. Wanting to do some laid back fishing and scout different areas I found trout in a fenew areas and landed a few with the fly rod. Sometimes you have to make lemonade out of lemons. Capt.
