Nick from the U.K. had never fished saltwater before and was looking to land his first bonefish. The first spot of the morning provided a few schools of bones but they stayed just out of casting range. The next flat provided two big schools of bonefish in the 8lb range but we couldn't connect because Nick's prescription sunglasses weren't polarized and it was hard for him to spot the fish. At the last flat we had another couple of shots at big bones and a school of mudding bonefish. Nick was great to fish with and he'll be back, with polarized sunglasses.

Today was a tough morning. Mike and Jeff from Naples boarded in order to target bonefish and permit. Conditions could not have been better so I had high hopes for today. The first three spots yielded one school of waking bonefish in the distance and not much else. Spot four provided two shots at permit but no takers. Spot five proved to be the last spot of the day where we saw two bones but too close to the boat. There was hardly any life on the flats today so we called it a day at four hours. Capt.

Tony and Rob are childhood friends and jumped aboard to get some fishing in. The morning started slow but piked up in the afternoon where our baits were being destroyed the moment they hit the water. Running out of baits they kept the action going on lures. These were great guys and a blast to fish with.

This afternoon Brian and his friend boarded for an afternoon of fishing. The goal was shark fishing and so we hit a spot to catch bait. With bait aught we headed to our first flat that proved unproductive. The second flat was the same with us missing two bites from sharks that were very spooky. The last spot was close to the marina and it was vacant of sharks. Tough day. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

July 14, 2016 Report (Snook!)

Jim and Nancy dropped off their boys Cole and Calan this morning and the boys and I were off. The wind was sportier than is typical in July but that makes the heat much more comfortable so off we went to our first spot of the day. After getting set up it didn't take long for one of the rods to doubles over and Calan is on to a nice snook. After a few quick pics and a release the second rod doubles over and Cole is on his snook. Again, a few pics and a healthy release and mr snook is on his way home. About 10 minutes later another rod goes off and Calan loses his snook to a shark. A few minutes later the same happens to Cole, his snook got sharked. These were big bull sharks in the 6' range eating our snook 20' from the boat. We missed a few more snook bites and Calan landed a BIG mangrove snapper before we changed spots. I took them to a tarpon spot that held small to medium tarpon and after we set up and the tarpon start to roll around us a group of summer campers invaded the area and stayed within 50' of the boat screaming and jumping off their paddle boards. URGH! Needless to say, we moved! The next two spots were dead but the last spots produced nice jacks, snappers and we missed another snook bite. Not a bad day on the bay today!

July 12, 2016 Report (Snook, Video!)

Joey is also a local angler and we've fished plenty of times before and today we just needed one spot. Using artificial lures he caught a barracuda but no other bites so we switched to live bait. That was the ticket! Almost immediately he hooked a huge snook that broke him off at the end of the fight. Urgh! Minutes later he hooked another one that he landed. Again, a few minutes later the permit rod goes off but it was a healthy jack. Again, moments later he hooks another snook but this one got demolished by a big bull shark right next to the boat as the snook was jumping trying to get away from the shark. After the shark showed up the action died off and it was time to head in. Really solid morning with a great guy!

Will is a local angler and has fished with me before. The goal was catching dinner with his buddy Spence but I wanted to add a big shark to the equation since they have been thick. We fished three spots with only one producing. They caught mutton snapper, bar jacks, trigger fish and had two big bites on the shark rods but no hook ups. Capt.
