November 10, 2015 Report

Sarah had booked me a few weeks ago to get out and do some fishing with her boyfriend Jeff. Being both from Canada it was great to be able to show them around Biscayne Bay. Looking for some action we hit one grass flat and stayed there for quite a while since the action was red hot on a number of species including bluefish, ladyfish, spinner shark, trout, snappers, jacks and a few other mystery fish we did not land. After a while we decided to change it up and hit a jetty where we had a few nice hits and Jeff was able to land a nice grouper. The next spot allowed us to catch a few mackerel before heading down to the finger channels. At the finger channels we caught a variety of snappers but the fishing proved to be slower than expected. Hitting one last spot prodiced a few quick fish before ending the day with a nice short run back to the marina and sore arms. Sarah had book me a few weeks ago they get out and do some fishing with from boyfriend Jeff. What a way to introduce someone to Miami!

November 9, 2015 Report

I took a few days off to work at the Broward Boat Show and today I was back on the water with local angler Erick and his friend Joe from Louisiana. The morning started off red hot fishing the grass flats with ladyfish, snaper and Jack coming into the book consistently along with nice big spinner shark busting Bait around this and eating a few of our lady such as well. We hope the nice big spinner shark but lost it after a long run when you spit the hook. We made a run down to fish for snook and lost a few snook on book sets. Changing it up we finished the finger channels but it proved to be slow other than a mutton snapper. We wrapped up the day fishing some structure close to the marina which resulted in a few short mutton snapper.

Dean is a regular client of mine from Texas and jumped on board this morning in the hunt for snook. We have tough conditions with 20 to 25 mile an hour winds that made it a rough run down to the creeks with perfect bait to feed snook. Fishing a number of creeks proved fruitless other than a few barracudas and snapper so we decided to change it up towards the end of the trip. This proved to be the ticket as we had mackerel and big jacks devouring our lures with ferocious top water hits and drag burning runs. It was a blast and a great way to end a trip with a great guy.

November 4, 2015 Report (Shark Video!)

This afternoon I had Frank, Tim and Dave jump on board and off we went to the same spot where Jason and Laurie got worn out yesterday. As expected the fish were still there however I didn't see as many spinner sharks as yesterday but we were able to hook a couple of them including a bruiser we never could stop. Again the fish just wore out these guys and it was another stellar afternoon in Miami!

Earlier this morning I received a call that Jason and Laurie wanted to do a half day trip in the afternoon, so sure enough at 2 o'clock they jumped on the boat. They let me know that in the morning they had been offshore fishing and it was very slow but not being the type to just sit around the pool they wanted to get back into the action. A short run later we arrived at our first and only spot of the trip where it was fish after fish after fish on almost every cast. So much so that Laurie and Jason had to take a couple of breaks in between. I love that! We even had a number of spinner sharks trying to eat our hooked fish right next to the boat! They decided to cut the trip short because the fish had worn them out and wanted to get back in time for a dinner meeting. These are the days that I live for in Miami with lots of bait, lots of action and tons of fish devouring our lures. Tired anglers equals a big smile on the captain's face. I love it!

November 1, 2015 Report

Christine and Chico are local anglers and a couple of months bank Christine had booked a six hour trip for Chico's birthday that we had to reschedule due to weather. Today however was a different day with gorgeous weather. We started off snook fishing and although they were some snook scattered about feeding we could not get one to eat so we moved on to a shipwreck. Arriving at the shipwreck there were tons of fish, mainly big blue runners that kept harassing Chico while Christine lost a nice mutton snapper and landed another one. We tried a couple of other spots and ended up shark fishing on the flats. The response was immediate and we hooked a nice big shark within a few minutes but lost it immediately. Many more sharks came in but refused to eat. Weird! We ended the day at another wreck where immediately I saw a big Barracuda follow one of the fish we had hooked. Using one of the caught fish as bait I tossed it behind the boat and let it sit there. Within a few minutes the rod doubled over, the real started to scream and a big Barracuda took to the air quite a distance away. After a long blistering fight Chico landed a big Barracuda to end the day and celebrate his birthday finally! Happy birthday Chico!

October 30, 2015 Report (must watch video!)

Today I fished with Graham from the UK and what a great day we had. We started off under slick calm conditions looking for mullet schools off of South Beach but didn't find any. We fished the deeper grass flats using lures and it was on fire with fish on almost every cast. In a couple of hours we caught tons of trout, Barracuda, big mangrove snapper, jacks and big high jumping lady fish. At one point Graham hooked two big mangrove snappers on the same lure with one fish on each hook, it was amazing! Switching gears we caught some live bait and ran down to fish the creeks for snook but only had one brief hit and didn't hook any but had an incredible encounter as you'll see in the video. With the changing of the tide we ran back up to South Beach found a bait school being busted and again, great action including the first mackerel school of the season. With our attention back on snook, Graham hooked, fought and lost a massive snook using a big live mullet. The day ended losing another nice fish before heading in. It was a great day with tons of fish. I love fall in Miami!
