August 11, 2018 Report

Amy's husband and son joined me today for a half day trip. After getting some bait we targeted tarpon and snook but that spot didn't produce. However, along the way we got a big cuda and lost a few fish.

Bau and his dad Henry are locals and sold their boat 20 years ago but they wanted to try some bonefishing. We had a challenge today in that the bait shop did not have shrimp so we hit the flats using artificial shrimp. We had tough conditions with high water, poor visibility and breezy so we hit a spot which typically produces and I can get away with some cover and really shallow water in order to negate some of the conditions. We saw 3 schools of bonefish and had 1 eat but did not get hooked. We ended the day catching some really nice snapper and Henry really enjoyed that! Capt.

I had a fun full load today with Carlos, Eric and Juan. Carlos and Eric fish with me every year and this time Carlos brought his son Juan along. This was one of those days where we had really constant action once we hit the flats. Our first stop was off at a little shipwreck to catch some snapper and some shark bait and once we had our bait we hit the flats. While on the flats we ended up hooking a total of 9 sharks, landing 3, 1 for each guy, and landed a couple of barracudas and lost a few more. We finished the day with great conditions in slick calm water and low tide for bonefish but that proved to be rather slow. Capt.

NY transplants Henry and Joe were fun guys to fish with today as we hit the flats and got away from the Sunday boating crowd. Our 1st spot stop was one of my favorite flats on an incoming tide and that was the spot to be at. We had plenty of action catching sharks and barracudas including a solid 25 pounder for Joe.

August 2, 2018 Report (Snook video)

I fished the Sheridan House Ministries annual tournament today with Andy and Scott out of Key Largo. This is always a fun tournaments for a great cause and I always have great people on board and today was no exception. We ran directly to a snook spot that although started off slow yielded a 31 inch snook some jacks some sharks and we lost a few really nice fish. We wrapped up the morning fishing for sea trout where we got some and also landed a couple of nice black tips. Capt.

Matt and his wife got on board and we were off! After loading up on bait we hit one spot and that's all we needed as the rods stayed bent and the drags screaming with Matt and his wife constantly hooked up to nice big jacks. In order to torment Matt who really wanted a tarpon, turns out his wife is the one that hooked a nice fish and got some jumps out of it before it spit a hook. We had a blast and I bet her arms were sore after this early morning workout.

July 30, 2018 Report (Video)

I had a scheduled day off today but when I got the call the fish with Matt in his wife Carla I had a hard time passing it up. So off we went today for a quick half day trip. After loading up bait, the high winds had blown out the snook and tarpon spots which is very unusual for this time of year. We decided to do some trout fishing were Carla caught the 1st one on the 1st cast but after that it was a dead zone. I decided to hit a jack and tarpon spot and boy did that payoff. However, some weird things happened today! Carla had the hot hand as to begin with and put the number big jack's wearing her out and having to hand the right off the mad a few times. Soon after met God a hot hand as well and kept the rods bent with drag screaming jacks. Seeing some tarpon rolling around we drifted off a bait back and Carla hooked the tarpon, got a nice jump out of it but it came off. Then Matt hooks another fish which turns out it was about a 3 and a 1/2 foot barracuda that jumped in the air like a tarpon. This is where it gets weird. Then out of nowhere as he's fighting the fish something significant hits me in the leg and it turns out the barracuda jumped out of the water, hit my leg and landed in the water on the opposite side of the boat! Whew, with those sharp teeth that was a close call! We landed the big barracuda but when I tried to use the landing tool it shook its head and cut the leader. A few minutes later some unidentified flying organism hit my shoulder out of nowhere. What's going on today? We continued incredibly hot fishing until all the bait ran out and we called it A-day a few minutes early. I'd love ending the month this way! Capt.
