April 6, 2015 AM and PM Report

AM Report Brad from Maryland was hoping to tangle with some saltwater fish and boy did he! Tarpon fishing early morning was a heart breaker as we got a massive hit from a huge tarpon that broke the braid on the strike. We moved off to fish a few spots and they were slow so I pulled a trick out of my hat and Brad landed 3 mutton snappers, a 5lber, a 7 lber and a massive estimated 15lber. That's a career mutton snapper inshore! We moved off to the flats where there were plenty of sharks around the boat but would eat, feel the tension of the line and spit the bait. Fourth quarter, 2 minutes left and a nice 5 footer takes a bait, I used a trick of mine and got him on. 150 yards later the shark stops his initial run and Brad fought him back to the boat for the release. Way to go Brad!
PM Report The afternoon trip was with Sidney and his niece Bailey and nephew Joey. We went to a nearby spot and spend the en tire trip pulling up fish after fish that was both fun and action packed for the kids.

Sal, his son Michael and daughter Catherine were in town for Wisconsin and enjoying the warmth so off to the water we went. Tarpon spot 1 produce a hit and no hook up. Again?! Kids getting bored so we headed to the flats, caught a bunch of snappers and then hit the shark flats where a number of them swam up to our baits but wouldn't eat. Eventually Michael got one about 6 feet and Catherine had all she could handle with her 4 footer. Michael by way won the day with largest fish. I won't mention what that spared him of!

John and his son Joe were a lot of fun today, another father son charter. Twelve year old Joe is a hardcore fisherman and he displayed it today. Variety was the key today and making sure Joe caught plenty of fish and so we did. Tarpon fishing a bit in the morning resulted in one quick bite so off we went to fish the flats. Along the way we stopped off at a spot and we caught dozens of snapper and other species with non-stop action. Moving on to the flats to shark fish we drew in several sharks, got one nice shark to eat and we were off to the races! After landing the 5 footer we had a nice run back to the marina. What a great couple of guys and nice day on the water.

April 2, 2015 Report

Kurt and his 2 kids fished with me back in the fall and today they were back for a little tarpon fishing and then catching what was around. We got a solid tarpon bite but the fish never got hooked. Then we moved off and got into some bluefish and had a triple header going at one point then off to another spot where we ended the day catching a variety of snappers and losing a grouper or two on almost every cast.

Father/son charters are always a blast and Patrick and his son Graham were no exception. From the moment we got to our spot for the day the rods were bent and stayed bent. Along the way there were tarpon around and we had one eat our bait but spit it out before we could come tight. Urgh!

George and his son took a day to go fishing and catch some fish on fly. The goal was to target a number of species on fly and then go looking for bonefish. We did all the above and landed a half dozen species on fly, and had some shots at bonefish. These were really good fly casters and even better people.

Day two with Dave and it was a continuation of the previous day although today we had much less wind and were able to fish other areas we were restricted from the day prior. We had a number of different species landed and had a great time. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBonefishing.com 786-853-1409
