With absolutely perfect weather David from Pennsylvania jumped aboard with fly rod in hand. Hitting a tarpon spot early morning proved to be a bit bumpy for fly casting so we headed to the bonefish flats. Visibility was perfect and some bones around but none would eat a fly. The day wrapped up on an inshore wreck where the resident grouper couldn't get to the fly because the snappers would beat them to it.

On a week vacation for his daughter's wedding and fleeing the Boston snow was Bob, his son in law Kevin and son in law to be Mike boarded my skiff under some gorgeous weather. These were great guys and we had a great time. The goal was to do some bonefishing but there was a storm that sat over the bonefish flats all trip long and prevented us from doing any bonefishing. In lieu of bonefish, we did a variety of different fishing using different techniques in different areas and they caught some nice dinner. Bob taught the "boys" how to catch trout and we had some fun with that as they quickly fell behind Bob's mounting fish count. All in all they caught almost a dozen different species including Bob's first grouper, Mike catching his first shark and Kevin making a late run to add to his total of fish and fish species. It's good to live in Miami!

Thankfully its warming up in Miami just in time for Sam and Sarah from Arkansas to en joy a bit warmer weather while on the water. With much lighter winds we spent the first part of the trip looking for tarpon but they were not to be found. Switching gears we focused on a few different species and ended the trip with rods bent almost constantly. As soon as our baits would hit the water Sarah and Sam were on mangrove snappers mutton snappers hog fish, jacks and of course grouper. We had a great time, came close to running out of bait and enjoyed the warming trend.

The winds were a bit better today at "only" 20 MPH but the air temperature was 39 degrees. Ouch! But this weather was no problem for Avery Victoria and John from N.Y. There were only a few places that would hold fish today with the combination of air temp, wind speed and the muddy water left over from yesterday so off to that area we went. Although the action was slower today there was still a mixed back of species that came to the boat including a few species of snapper and a grouper lost to the bottom. Thankfully and predictably the weather warmed up a bit and it was in the high 50's by the time we got off the water at 11am. Time for me to thaw out. Capt.

Today was one of the toughest fishing conditions I have fished in quite a few years. After a hard cold front, we had 30 MPH winds gusting to 35 and air temperatures in the low 50's. Bob, Vinny and Rose from Pennsylvania jumped aboard and braved the absolutely brutal conditions. Their toughness paid off though as we spend 5 hours fishing the same area landing nice groupers, BIG mangrove snappers, mutton snappers and jacks. I started with 130 baits and 4 hours into the trip we ran out of bait! I switched them to plastic shrimp and the fish didn't miss a beat. However, the wind and tide had muddied the bay and eventually the muddy water reached us and stopped the bite in its track. After a rough run back to the ramp we decided to end the trip early and leave it at 6 hours. As I always say, the weather may be bad but the fish still have to eat. Today proved that to be true.

Today I had Dave and his friend from Canada to spend a few hours in Biscayne Bay. The goal was to catch dinner and have a great time. Mission accomplished! We had steady action that kept the rods bent and the jokes flowing. At the end of the trip dinner was caught and everyone enjoyed some gorgeous weather.

From the land of Ice and snow (Minnesota) came Peter and Bethaney on their honeymoon. Being an avid fisherman and Bethaney being very cool, fishing was on the agenda. What a difference a day makes. Yesterday the fishing was on fire while today we had to work for it. In the end we ended up catching a variety of snappers, grouper and a few other species. Anything an happen on the water here in Miami. On the way in we were stopped and inspected by two game wardens and in typical Miami laid backed fashion we hung out with them for a bit.
