December 1, 2015 Report

David is a regular client of mine and he brought his friend Steve along. Last time Steve came along we had a great day shark fishing on the flats with a shark blitz that kept us busy for quiet a while. Today we would stay close to the marina and take advantage of the hot fishing that has been a daily occurance. The morning started slower than expected but after the tide turned a a few showers cleared the fishing turned on with lady fish, trout, snappers and spinner sharks all eating our lures and burning some drag. It was a great way to kick off December and it's looking better each day!

Having had saturday and sunday off you to high winds I was eager to get back on the water today in fish with locals Juan and mark. Meeting them at a marina in South Beach we made the short run to a grass flat and spent the entire morning there finding hot action on a number of species including ladyfish, spinner sharks, mackerel and trout.

November 27, 2015 Report

Having had a blast on Wednesday Pilar and Constancia jumped in the boat again while her husband and son jumped in the other boat. I really wanted to reproduce the last trip but the wind was blowing even harder today. We tried fishing a couple of spots in the open bay but the water was too dirty and made fishing difficult. We decided to go back to the docks we fished last time and it was even better today than on Wednesday. After losing a few nice fish Pilar and her daughter ended up catching over 30 fish including a really nice hog fish. These were great people and we had a blast catching fish in calm water away from the wind.

This morning I had a split charter with a buddy of mine on board came to Pilar in her 14 year old daughter Constancia. Pilar had never gone fishing so she was excited and I was looking forward to getting her on some fish. We had a brutal 20 to 25 mile an hour wind but since there is always a place to hide from the wind in Miami we started fishing a series of docks on the leeward side of an island and had a blast pulling fish out of the docks. The final count was something around 22 fish beating her husband and her son in the other boat. However, men being men, the guys fished an extra 30 minutes to rack up another 15 more fish and secretly beat the girls. Capt.

November 24, 2015 Report (Video!)

This past spring James his son Jack and his daughter Ryan had booked me for some tarpon fishing and they were able to tag team a big tarpon during our trip. Being back in town on vacation James booked me again but this time it was just him and his son Jack. The plan was to go catch whatever would provide the most action and my eyes were set on a nearby flat that has been producing really solid action. Our one obstacle was a steady 20 mile an hour wind that was keeping the water chopped up and making casting difficult courtesy of a fold front the day before. As we arrived the action was immediate steady and non stop for the duration of our four hour trip. We were catching big lady fish, bluefish, trout and spinner sharks. At one point as we were setting up another drift I saw bait being busted and made a quick hundred yard run in front of the school. I shutdown the motor, instructed them to cast towards the school of fleeing bait fish and the hookups were immediate and constant. There were times where they would hook up immediately and big lady fish would jump, spit the hook, land in the water only to be gobbled up by another lady fish or blue fish. Mixed in there also spinner shark and a look at this video will provide an incredible site in the last frame of the video. We had a blast, caught a ton of fish and put some significant wear and tear on brand new lures I had just tied on that morning. This is what it's all about after a cold front in Miami!

It's William's 10th birthday and his family decided to bring him to Miami for a fishing trip and a Heat basketball game. With that in mind, Will and his dad Nick climbed aboard for a short morning trip to get William on some fish and ensure a good birthday. A short 5 minute run later I shut off the motor and handed them a rod each. A few casts later Nick hooks up to a nice ladyfish and the steady stream began. Will caught a number of high flying, drag sizzling ladyfish, a trout and a couple other species. At the end of the trip he was mentioning how his hand was hurting from all the fish he caught. Mission accomplished and happy birthday Will!

November 19, 2015 Report (Fly fishing)

Having taken a few days off to have my boat trailer worked on I was eager to get back on the water and Jason from Montana jumped on board this morning. Today was a bit breezier than expected so we had to adjust to the conditions in order to have Jason fly fish but adjust we did. We only had to fish two spots this morning with the first spot having some tarpon around but unable to get one to eat. Spot two was out in the open wind and made fly casting difficult so Jason saved that for last. Using artificial lures fishing was solid with a lot of action and bent rods. Towards the end Jason picked up the fly rod and was able to land his first fish on fly. We ended the day with a hot streak of fish on almost every cast and as I always say "what a great way to end the day on Biscayne Bay"!
