Today, Tennessee native Ammon was on board for tarpon and other fishing action. The tarpon fishing remained slow but we did have a smaller fish hit one of the baits but no hook ups. We were limited by the wind but pressed on and switched gears. We ended up catching some nice trout while avoiding the wind. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Nelson was on board again for day two and this time we were chasing tarpon, bones and permit. The fishing was slow over all only finding one group of rolling tarpon in the early morning. Later on we had a few shots at bonefish including four fish that were milling around a white sand spot but unfortunately no hook ups. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

April 1, 2014 AM & PM Reports

AM Report Nelson was down from Atlanta and brought his daughter Veronica and friend Kate along on our 1/2 day morning trip. We started looking for tarpon but the cold front that passed through put the fish down and while we found some, they weren't interested in eating. We switched to something more exciting for the girls and went looking for trout. They caught some trout including a very respectable fish landed by Veronica who had the hot hand today.

PM Report The afternoon brought Tyler, Judd and their dad Brent for an afternoon of fishing the bay. We started with tarpon and they were all but gone. We pressed on and found some tarpon laid up in the lee of a current and had quite a few shots at them but no takers. These fish were resting and moving slowly with their massive dorsal fins out of the water. Some were rolling occasionally or cruising by. Eager to ensure they caught fish while avoiding the wind as much as possible, we fish two flats for trout and they ended up catching some BIG trout. Tyler, Judd and Brent were great folks who caught fish, had great conversations and made my afternoon a pleasure. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Today I had Dave and Nick from South Africa. Dave is one of the members of very cool electronic band Goldfish www.GoldfishLive.com and was down in Miami playing at Ultra. This is the second year we fish together and it is always a lot of fun. We started looking for tarpon and finally found some cruising and rolling fish. Nick and Dave took a bunch of shots at these fish and we got two to eat Unfortunately, we missed the hook set on both. Since it was windy and overcast, we had to forgo Dave's desire to look for bonefish and instead wanted to pursue seatrout as we did last year. Nick and Dave caught trout, some on fly but the highlight was the tarpon we hooked. I had mentioned to them there had been tarpon holding on this flat and sure enough Dave hooks a 90lber and gets one amazing jump out of him. After that, it was a tug of war for 15 minutes until the fish beat us to some barnacle encrusted stakes and cut us off. Wow, that hurts! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

The high winds continue but Greg and Drew were down in Key Largo for a get together and wanted to hit the water and have good time. We tried bonefishing for a bit but with high winds and dark clouds above, conditions were rather tough. They decided to try something different and we anchored in a favorite channel of mine and had a blast catching snappers, bar jacks and losing a few fish that were more that we could handle on 10lb class tackle and locked drags. One of the heart breakers was Greg losing a nice grouper right next to the boat. Ouch! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

This has been a rough week with winds in the 30-40 MPH range and lots of charter cancellations. Never the less, Aaron and his son Jake braved 30-35 MPH winds and we fished the leeward side of the few areas we could find. Jake caught his biggest fish to date and the smile on his face and the fire that sparked in him was absolutely worth the very tough conditions. We caught sea trout on artificial lures and Jake did a great job casting, working the lure and fighting the fish all on his own! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

March 22, 2014 Report

After a great week or so of a tarpon bite, Bill was aboard for a half day of fishing Biscayne Bay. Conditions were tough with dark clouds, rain and windy. We worked an area that had been giving up tarpon almost daily but very slow. We moved off to fish for snapper and grouper but a small spinner shark is all the bay would give up there. The day ended on some trout flats where we caught some trout. Over all, a very slow day but today was one of those trips where you meet someone that is a great person and Bill is one of those people. We had a great time, sometimes even missing a few fish because we were engrossed in or conversation. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com
