Carlos spend his birthday on my skiff fishing Biscayne Bay on a gorgeous summer day. We started early and had shots at schools of tailing permit and rolling baby tarpon. Carlos made a perfect cast to a nice permit moving in but the fish ate before the hook could be set. Ouch. The tarpon would chase our lures but swim away at the last moment. Double ouch. The day ended shark fishing the flats and hooking 8 big sharks, some 7' plus, only to lose all but one smaller one. Super moon=super wierd.

Regular client David was on board for two days of fishing with his friend Eran. Day one we fished Biscayne Bay and the fishing was a bit slow courtesy of the coming super moon. We did land quite a few mutton snappers but they weren't the usual 5-7lbers. Day two we were in the Everglades and we got into baby tarpon and redfish and the bites were hard to come by. We did land a snook which was a first for Eran. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

August 7, 2014 Everglades Report

Aboard today was Grant and we were in pursuit of sight fishing super shallow water tailing redfish. The morning was just awesome with low water, calm winds and over a hundred tailing redfish all around us. We struck gold and switched gears after the water levels got too high. We ended the day losing two big sharks and landing one about 4'.

Tony and his son were in town from Tampa for a boys weekend in Miami and wanted to do a little fishing. We began looking for bonefish as we hid from a an unsualy high wind for August but no one home. Switching gears we headed to an area that has been holding tarpon but they had lock jaw today. In lieu of a tarpon, we hooked a 30lb barracuda that did its best to impersonate a jumping tarpon.

Today was round 2, Matt versus the bonefish. Matt is one of the doctors for the Dallas Cowboys and the last time he came down we had terrible weather and landed no bonefish. Today he was armed with his friend Chris and much better conditions. We began poling right outside the marina and found plenty of schools moving through. A school came by, they both cast at the school and Chris hooks up. A several long runs later I slip the next under the 10lb bonefish. Chris has his, Matt is still at zero. Pressure is on. Another school moves through and Matt makes a good cast, school moves over the bait, nothing. When he reels in the line the hook is clean. The bonefish ate his shrimp and we missed the take. Ouch! We moved to another area and there are wakes and tails headed towards us. Matt and Chris both make good casts, the tails move over Matt's and I hear "They got it!". He reels down, the reel starts to scream. Some time later we slip the net under a nice permit caught on 8lb test, what a way to get a permit! Conditions quickly deteriorated similar to what we faced on our first trip together and we called it a day. Glad the pressure is off Matt!

Tim and his two sons climbed aboard this morning for a half day of fun on the bay. We went straight to doing a little bonefishing and Caden quickly hooked up to a nice fish but just as quickly lost it to a cut off. We went off to a channel and the snappers were THICK. We had small snappers and bigger fish in the 2-3 lb range right behind the boat along with two black groupers in the 20lb class sitting on the bottom reaping the benefits of our chum slick. We did catch some but non of the bigger fish. Calm crystal clear water makes for tough fishing in these situations. We ended the day shark fishing but didn't have any commit. Capt.

August 1, 2014 Key Largo Report

Today I fished the 3rd annual Sheridan House Ministries tournament. This year it was held out of Key Largo and I had the pleasure of fishing with Greg and Perry. Under beautiful conditions we headed west towards the Everglades looking to catch a grand slam of trout, snook and redfish. We had a great day today as early on we caught trout and then we followed up with big snook and big redfish including some nice jacks of close to 30 inches and a big mangrove snapper.  The grand slam was complete by 11am and we called it a day early and headed back to the marina 2 hours ahead of schedule. At the end of it all Greg won the biggest snook division and Perry won the biggest redfish division, out of 24 guide boats. We had a great time under some great conditions and caught some nice fish.
