Today's weather for John and I was a far cry from the impending doom that awaited us when we were originally scheduled to fish on 1/22, the air was crisp and the skies were clear. Having to be back by 11am we had 3 hours to fish and stayed close to the marina. The breezy conditions limited the areas we could fish but fish we did and although slower than I would have liked, we caught a number of species and kept the rods bent. It's always a pleasure fishing with John and I look forward to fishing with him next year. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

January 24, 2016 Report (Winter Tarpon Video!)

Friday we had a massive cold front, the same cold front tormenting the northeast and yesterday we had 30-40 MPH winds so I was looking forward to today. Meeting Charlie and Christina at 7am, they boarded and we were off. The conditions were brutal, temperatures in the 40's, 20 plus MPH winds, water temperatures in the high 60's, dirty water and steam coming off the water in spite of the wind. WOW! I had 4 layers on and I was still cold but I located some clean water in the lee of the wind and warmer incoming tide but struggled for the first half of the trip hooking and losing a spinner shark and missing a few bites. One the tide turned the bite was on and Charlie hooked his first tarpon, hooked a couple of really nice spinner sharks and caught a few other species. The trip ended on a high note and the run back felt shorter and warmer after the tarpon!

Jared and David almost didn't make it out of Virginia before a severe snow storm hit but they made it down after all. We fished ahead of the massive cold front moving in and we could see and feel the weather change before us. While the fishing was slow, they did catch a number of fish and species. We had a great time and a lot of laughs! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

This trip is certainly the kind that keep a guide humble. Steve is a regular fly fishing client of mine and we fished hard, in numerous spots running over 30 miles and had nothing to show for it. There was tons of bait, great conditions but nothing feeding. I can't forget this day soon enough. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

January 16, 2016 AM & PM Report

AM Report Fly on the mind was the goal with Bryan this morning. We had some great conditions and right of the bat Bryan hooks a nice fish but the fish chewed through the leader close to the boat. The rest of the morning we fished hard in a number of places to no avail. Finding a school of tarpon right where they should be provided us with a 15 minute window of shots at then before they disappeared. Tough morning!

PM Report My afternoon trip with John, Julie and Mike went better with John hooking and losing a nice shark on the flats. The day ended with them getting into good action on a shallow ship wreck.

Today was the last day fishing with Neil and Justin and once again, we had a blast. Catching big ladyfish got shark bait, we made a run down to the flats. Fishing 5 different flats, only one produced a bite but no hook up. The trip ended with Neil out fishing Justin and some teasing on my part. These are great guys and I look forward to fishing with them again. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

Scratching our trip yesterday due to severe weather, it was good to get out again with Neil and Justin. Today was a repeat of our previous trip but today we looked for tarpon and they were MIA. In their place hogfish, snapper and others kept the rods bent. We had to deal with tough weather all day but at least we didn't have any rain.
