July 2, 2015 Report

Today I fished with ex-race car driver Peter out of South Biscayne Bay. We started bonefishing in some tough conditions but found a number of bones but it was tough to get the fly to them well enough under the dark, cloud covered skies. The fishing for other species was slow but we ended the trip with great visibility and numerous shots at big mudding bonefish. Capt.

Bill from the S.F. Giants joined me again today and while we didn't get a tarpon there were plenty of fish boated. Fishing jigs the rods stayed bent most of the morning with a variety of fish including a double hook up. The weather was certainly hot but the fishing was hotter and we had a blast!

June 29, 2015 Report (Tarpon)

With tarpon season over, the remaining fish are resident fish but equally fun and Bill from the S.F. Giants baseball team had never caught a tarpon. Well, we had to give tarpon fishing a try. Spot one had some rollers but no takers so we moved to spot two. Spot two would be the magic spot and Bill would hook into one about 50lbs that tested the drag and Bill as he fought his fish in windless 90 degree weather. After a 25 minute fight we got his first tarpon to the boat and celebrated the well earned release. Congrats Bill!

Gary and his two boys, Adam and Jake, are local regular clients and hopped aboard with one goal, get the kids some fish and a shark. Shark fishing started slow so we switched off to smaller game and the kids kept the rods bent catching fish after fish including a high flying barracuda until they were ready for more shark fishing. I took them to a flat I like to sight cast smaller sharks and had a blast hooking 3 foot sharks. They had a blast and got their sharks!

Mike and his girlfriend Florenia jumped aboard and I found out she had never caught a fish. So, I had to change that today. Fishing was generally slow but they each caught trout and then we hit the flats. After a hit and no hook up Mike's rod doubles over and the next 25 minutes were foused on landing his 5' lemon shark, about 130 lbs. Now it was Florenia's turn. I took them to a spot I like for snappers and there she landed a few fish before we had to head in to avoid storms. Mike told she she was probably hooked on fishing now. Mission accomplished!

Ryan is from Oklahoma and was in town for a wedding and wanted to squeeze in a 3/4 day trip so off we went. Finding no tarpon we fished for sea trout and the bite was on fire! Almost every cast had a seatrout hoked and coming to the boat. This went on for over an hour. After the seatrout blitz we decided to hit the flats for sharks. Getting one bite but no hook up we kept at it and were rewarded with a bent rod and 100 yards worth of drag scorching shark on the other end. After a 40 minute battle Ryan released a solid 5' lemon shark. What a way to end a great day!

Today I was in North Key Largo for a full day trip with Adam and Jonathan. We targeted a number of different species but the best was left for last. At the end of the trip we decided to shark fish and caught one but on the small side. With time running out I see a big shadow move in and sure enough, a big lemon shark. It swims over our baits, picks one up and we're off to the races. Just a few feet from the boat he bit through the wire and missed leadering the 5' shark. Geeze!
