November 15, 2015 Report

Today Mike was on board again and this time he brought his boss Rahul but the conditions were vastly different. Today we had overcast skies, threatening storms, 20 to 25 mile an hour winds. Under these conditions there were only a few places that we could fish comfortably in that wind and unfortunately all three spots yielded little. While we did catch fish, today was a shadow of yesterday's red hot fishing action. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

November 14, 2015 Report

On a business trip from Virginia, Mike booked for a late morning trip to target bonefish but the weather didn't cooperate for bonefishing. Last night when we spoke the trip was up in the air as the forecast was calling for 20 mile an hour winds and lots of rain but it turned out we had surprisingly good weather for the first part of the trip. The short run to our first spot, and our only spot of the trip, produced constant action on spinner shark, ladyfish, quite a few trout, and constant bent rods and screaming drags. We tried to stay close to the marina as we could see some threatening weather building and eventually we had to get off the water and run back before the more intense parts of the storm hit us. It was a short but intense trip and tomorrow we're taking out his boss. No pressure!

Charles is a state law enforcement officer from North Carolina and was down with his wife and little girl for a conference for his wife. Having spent the entire week taking care of his 18 month old little girl, today was the day he would take a break from the grueling job of playing mother. He jumped aboard with his father in law Robert and within a few minutes we were into a bunch of tarpon. Unfortunately they had lock jaw. Moving on we got into hot fishing with a few doubleheaders thrown into the mix. Throwing lures we had almost non-stop action on spinner shark, bluefish, snapper, sea trout, lady fish, and a few other species. When the tide turned we decided to fish a few other spots that produced a few big mackerel and saw a bunch more that wouldn't hit our lures. This gets me excited as mackerel are becoming more and more present in Biscayne Bay as we draw nearer towards the end of November. These are two great guys that caught a lot of fish and we had a blast. My hat's off to Charles for being an excellent father!

Today's charter was a full day trip out of the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo. With Bill and Don jumping aboard we began our search for the elusive Biscayne Bay red fish and some bonefish action. We had some great conditions and in spite of our efforts didn't find either as overall fishing was slow today. We changed it up and fished a few different spots that produced some big mangrove snapper and a few other species. We ended the day fishing a spot I like close to Bill's house on Ocean Reef Club that holds big mangrove snappers and landed a few there. Capt.

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.
