Day 2 of fishing with Jerry and Roger and we repeated the same process as yesterday again no Tarpon this morning but the grass flats were red hot with lots of big trout in the 18 to 20 inch range on soft plastics, Bluefish, ladyfish, snapper and jacks, it was awesome fishing around the mullet schools and Jerry was able to take home some fresh fish dinner to boot. The highlight was Roger hooking up and fighting a really nice spinner shark that came up and absolutely crushed the soft plastic we were using for the sea trout and after a 10-minute fight we got cut off on a marker.

This was another trip I have been looking forward to since I will be fishing the next three days with Jerry from Tennessee. Jerry books me every year for three days of tarpon fishing with his grandson Tommy and they are always an absolute blast to fish with. Tommy, however, was not able to make it down this time but Jerry's friend Roger joined us and Roger had me rolling with laughter. Today we started tarpon fishing but Jerry did not want to dedicate a ton of time to them so we found big numbers of Tarpon but no bites during the two hours that we fished for them. Changing it up he wanted to catch some fresh fish dinner so we hit the grass Flats for trout and kept some for dinner. Along the way we lost two big permit that broke our hearts!

Wow, today was one of those days that required me to take a deep breath and pause for a minute. The fishing was absolutely on fire today and it reminded me of late fall and winter time in Miami. Fishing the mullet schools making their way back North on their late spring migration we had an absolute blast. Our first spot was for Tarpon and Danny, Pano and Michael were aboard but could not enjoy the Silver rage of a tarpon on the other end of the line. The last time we fished together everybody caught Bonefish except for Pano so Bonefish was on the list but the skies were overcast and cloudy and certainly not conducive to Bonefish so we changed it up. That turned out to be the ticket as we were able to enjoy a steady stream of bent rods screaming drags and fish to the side of the boat. We caught Snapper, Jacks, Bluefish, trout and Lady fish at a pace that was absolutely breathtaking. At one point we had several triple headers! We ended the day fishing a different spot where they were able to catch more species including Triggerfish, Hogfish and red grouper. Today was absolutely a blast and I always love fishing with these guys!

Today I was working out of the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo and picked up a couple guys on vacation for a morning of flats fishing. The day went by quickly as we targeted sharks but my three favorite spots down south proved to have few sharks and the few that we found were very picky and refused to eat. We wrapped up the day in a creek catching a big lookdown and a couple of other fish before rocketing back in to get them back at the dock in time.

Roberto jumped aboard today with fly rod in hand as he is a fly fisherman from Chile. We had really nice conditions although a little bit of a breeze kept things sporting but we were able to target a number of different species and I was able to show him the critical double haul. Our first spot had some rolling tarpon but we could not get them to eat a fly as they have been picky as of late. Second spot he had plenty of shots at cruising Tarpon but again those proved to be impossible to hook. However, along the way he caught snappers and some jacks to break-in the strip strike technique that we use in salt water. Moving down to the Bonefish flats the first flat proved to be a gold mine with school after school after school of tailing Bonefish, mudding Bonefish and cruising Bonefish. After about an hour Roberto had about 12 to 15 shots at these fish but still learning the double haul he was not able to get it out far enough. But that being said, we did have a couple of Bonefish track to fly but came too close to the boat and spooked off. We wrapped up the day on a shallow water shipwreck where Roberto again caught a few different and new species.

College freshman Cameron jumped aboard this morning for a quick trip in Biscayne Bay. The morning tarpon were missing but we used jigs and caught of number of different species before wrapping up the day tarpon fishing. As the trip wound down we finally found some tarpon and they were rolling and happy. Problem. There was a significant storm building with lighting and thunder. As we began to get right on them the lighting started and it was time to make a decision, fish in lighting or play it smart. We played it smart and had to cut the trip 30 minutes short to avoid the nasty storm now over us. What a shame!

Wow, two days off in a row and back on the water today with local angler Davide who wanted to try saltwater fly fishing. Our morning trip yielded trout, snappers and jacks in some breezy conditions. We found plenty of tarpon but it was tough for Davide to get a fly to them in the wind without having mastered the double haul. By the time we got back to the dock the wind was howling. Isn’t it May and it’s supposed to be calm? Weird!
