July 9, 2014 Everglades Report

On a guide's day off I met up with my friend Carlos and headed down to the 'Glades for some shallow water redfishing. Conditions could not be more beautiful with zero wind, clear skies and the end of the out going tide. Being on the bow of a skiff is a rare occurrence for me and I fully enjoyed my time casting to ultra shallow water tailing redfish. The fishing proved tougher than we would have liked but ultra shallow slick clear water puts fish on edge and redfish are no exception. I tried feeding them flies but no takers. The fish we did get were on soft plastics cast 2' in front of them and worked inches from their mouths, a demanding endeavor requiring extreme casting accuracy but one worth pursuing. We finished the day with several nice fish released and surrounded by tailing redfish in about 6 inches of water. We had a ton of fun!

Earlier in the year I fished with Angelo and Lissette from Colorado and they had mentioned their son loved to fish. Today I had the pleasure of fishing with their son Panos and his two cousins Danny and Nick. The day started breezier that it should be in July and some cloud cover but we proceeded to bonefish anyway. We ended hooking 4 and landing 2. As the tide changed we caught snappers and had sharks in our chum slick but none would commit to our baits. We had a great day and had a great time catching bonefish.

Happy 4th of July everyone! Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Chuck from Georgia and his buddy Slade from Ft. Lauderdale. We had slick calm conditions in North Key Largo and had shots on fly at tarpon, shots at permit and bonefish on bait but no commits. We saw fish on every flat we fished except for one. Very nice day but no hook ups. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Local angler Ken and two friends climbed aboard today for some fishing around Key Biscayne. We had some great conditions to begin and were surrounded by rolling tarpon. Unfortunately they had lockjaw and ate neither our baits or flies. We ended up catching snappers on bait and lures and had several tarpon track our flies but not commit. Capt.

Jerry and his 16 year old grandson Tommy from Tennessee wanted to catch their first tarpon so off we went for three days of tarpon fishing. While the tarpon fishing was tough, we did manage to hook fish on 2 of the 3 days. Tommy landed his first tarpon and on fly! Jerry lost a monster next to the boat after he whipped the 100lb plus fish in 30 minutes and on the last day we had several fish eat baits and flies but no hook ups until the end when Jerry hooked another fish only to lose it a few minutes later after the 3rd or 4th jump. We spent a great three days having fun, laughing and hooking some truly amazing fish!

James and his two kids (Ryan and Jack) jumped aboard for some tarpon fishing and the fish did not dissapoint today. At our second spot we get a subtle hit on one of the rods (a sign that something huge is down below) and James winds like mad. The rod bent, the reel started to scream and one big jump revealed a tarpon over 150lbs was on the other end and very made at James! A prolonged fight later we released the behemoth and made the quick run back to the marina with smiles and sore arms.

David and Rhonda from GA were in town for a conference and took a day to fish Biscayne Bay. We spend the majority of the trip tarpon fishing and after quite awhile, Rhonda hooks up to about a 90lb tarpon. Three big jumps later the fish spits the hook and he's off. The number of tarpon were thick but few hook ups. The trout fishing was very slow today so we called it a day before the Sunday mayhem on the water began. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com
