David was back again and we started early fishing before sun up. Going back to the same area where I have been finding snook, we found tons of bait but the snook were scattered and not as aggressive as the previous trips. Not wanting to waste the live bait we had, the finger channels were next and there David caught, mutton snapper, BIG yellowtail snapper, grouper and one fish we couldn't get to the boat as it spit the hook after a 5 minute drag scorching fight. We ended the day shark fishing but we saw only one.

Today from France came Alain and his two boys to fish Biscayne Bay after 10 years of not visiting our waters. We spent the day fishing a variety of areas using different techniques and caught high flying lady fish, trout, snapper, and bluefish. Tarpon fishing was slow and we had 6 big sharks move in close to the boat but stayed too far from the boat for a cast.

N.E. fishing guide Jason climbed aboard and we spent the day looking for bonefish, permit and tarpon. Today was certainly a very slow day. Although we worked hard the entire trip, bonefishing was slow. Poling some bonefish flats we found tarpon that are usually around this time of year and had numerous shots at them on fly. We had two eat the fly but they spit the fly before Jason could strip strike them. One of the takes was awesome and classic tarpon. Jason cast the fly about 6' in front of the lead fish, let the fly sink and then gave it a long steady strip just a few feet from the tarpon. The fish immediately zeroed in on the fly, swam over and inhaled in just 20' from the boat in 2' of clear water. Just awesome!

Regular client David and his friend Matt were aboard this morning for a short morning trip. We started off looking for tarpon but didn't find any. However, Matt did catch a big flounder on a live mullet. That is a rare occurrence for us since we don't have many flounders in Miami. Today however was an odd day. Staking out on one of my favorite flats, we deployed our baits and waited. Not long after three big sharks move in and circle the area where are baits were. This goes on for a couple of minutes and they move off! Huh? Ok, deep breath. Another shark moves in, lazily swims around our scent trail and moves off. I move off to another flat and one shark moves in and does the same. Unbelievable, did they forget they are sharks?! We ended the day fishing for trout. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

TJ was aboard today as he was staying at a hotel down the street from the marina and we spent the trip catching an assortment of species while keeping an eye on the deteriorating weather. On the run back from the flats we had a water spout (marine tornado) just a few safe miles from us whirling away!

Mike and his kids were in town from England on vacation so off we went for a half day of fishing the bay. We did a few types of fishing including tarpon and ended on the flats in search of big sharks. Not long after arriving one of the rods goes off and 150 yards of line were off the spool before I could get rods in and push pole out to chase the big lemon shark. 50 minutes later we got a very angry shark to next to the boat, took some pictures and let him go. The weather was tough but the fishing was good and these guys were troopers.

Ed and Jeff from Chicago boarded for a 6 hour trip to see what Biscayne Bay was all about. With an early start, the snook were on fire again today along the shoreline by the marina. It was incredible! What was more incredible is that we didn't hook any in spite some good casts and snook feeding frenzies. It's always a double edged sword since the snook, usually ones and twos are blasting big schools of bait, are frenzied but the sheer number of baits makes it easy for your bait to disappear and they miss it. Today was one of those days. Moving on Ed and Jeff caught mutton snappers, a grouper and then off to the flats. It was windy enough to make bonefishing tough so we opted for sharks and Ed had his hands full. Hooking into one of the smaller sharks that were around, his 6 footer, 200lb lemon shark took the bait and rocketed off 200 yards off the reel before I could get the chum bag in and the push pole out of the bottom. Fifty minutes later Ed had the beast to the boat and a few pictures later we broke him off to fight another day. It was a great way to end the day!
