January 31, 2019 Report (Tarpon Video)

I was so ready to redeem myself from the last two trips with terrible conditions so I was eager to fish again with Dale from Texas. Last time we fished we had a blast and today was no exception. With the conditions being much better and the water temps back in the low 70's the bay came back to life. I set up on a spot I like for permit but instead found tarpon, lots of hungry tarpon and in no time Dale had hooked three and landed one. This was the day I needed and was happy to provide for Dale.

After dropping off my daughter at school on a day off I got a last minute call for an afternoon trip so I took it and met Ron at the Ocean Reef Club. The passing cold front had dropped the water temperature over 6 degrees and made fishing difficult. Ron caught a few fish but all small and there was no life on the flats. Capt.

Similar conditions today as my last charter with 25 plus MPH winds but this time from the south and Mark and Matt were aboard for some bonefishing. The wind made running south suicide and unwelcoming with the water being milky white. So, we fished the lee of a key where bonefish tend to swim through and they were there but they were staying in about 2-3 feet of water and the cloudy conditions made sight fishing impossible. The end result was blowing out a few fish and then looking for tarpon in a bunch of places away from the wind to to avail. Tough day. Capt.

Wow, wow, wow! Five years ago Joe and Kim bonefished with me and Joe lost a bonefish close to the boat and had been wanting redemption ever since. Well, today was the day and the deck was stacked against us with dirty water, poor visibility and 30-35 MPH winds. Under these conditions there was only one place I wanted to fish and it was a long run away. So, playing the throttle carefully and getting the best angle I could in the rough water and heavy spray we made it to the land of promise. After a few hours Joe had released a few sharks and hooked 4 bonefish and landed two nice fish. We did it! Congrats Joe, it was a hard tough fight but we came out on top!

One of the great things about my job is the constant adapting that I need to constantly go through whether it's different clients, changing conditions of target species and today was no exception. Today I had Kimberley and her awesome four year old Jonah aboard. This was an awesome trip because Jonah loves watching fishing shows and he was able to live out what he always watches on TV. We went to a spot where he was constantly catching fish and then took mom for a tour of the bay. Great people and great trip!

The passion for fishing is truly embedded in our DNA and proof of that was Patrick, Jeremy and Dave who dropped off their luggage in my Jeep on their way to the airport and jumped in the boat. They really wanted just to keep the rods bent and with a hard NW wind, that really was the perfect plan for today's conditions. I can't help my self so I took them to a spot that usually holds tarpon and sure enough, the tarpon were there. I set up up current from them and drifted back some baits only to have a ton of different species constantly get hooked instead. Since the guys were having a great time I switched to lighter tackle and almost went through the 8 dozen shrimp I had. I had them wrap up the trip trying to catch a big bull shark and they were out in full force with 3 to 5 of them around the boat at any given time. However, inexplicably they wouldn't eat anything I threw at them. We did have one brief bite but no hook ups.

Wow, what a morning with Blake and Ken. Working out of Homestead today we were on fish from the moment the boat stopped. It was clear, slick calm and a low tide and while poling into position we found a big permit tailing and finning on the surface. Armed with a fly rod, Blake made a cast but it was off by inches and alerted the permit. The rest of the morning was on fire as Ken and Blake had about 30 shots at bonefish and permit. However on fire it was we didn't get one in the boat for a number of reasons. I must mention that on one cast by Ken he laid it in front of the school, one fish peeled off and slammed it but didn't get hooked. URGH!
