February 16, 2019 AM & PM Reports

AM Report Mu morning trip was with Michael and his little girls Addie from Georgia. The goal was to get Addie on some fish and then try bonefishing. I took them to a nearby shallow wreck in the lee of the wind and Addie caught a bunch of fish. Getting her engaged, we then switched of to bonefishing nearby where Michael had some shots at bonefish but the fishing was definitely tough.

PM Report My afternoon trip was with Mike and his wife Danielle. With the weekend craziness going on I decided to take them to the flats way south since Mike wanted to fly fish for bonefish. Mike definitely had some solid shots including some big tailing bonefish. As the trip progressed Danielle asked him "Don't you want to try something else to catch something?" His answer was classic, "Nope, I'm having a blast doing exactly this." Awesome Mike! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

I always look forward to fishing with Dean and I was able to do just that today. We looked for tarpon for a while but they were really scattered thanks to the Miami International Boat Show going on just a few miles away with a ton of sea trials occurring over the tarpon. Changing it up we caught a few species and targeted bull sharks where Dean got a nice bull in the 250lb range. Way to go Dean!

Maria was back in the boat today fresh from her bonefish on flay last week and today she brought Lisa along. The goal was a bit different today as Lisa is a new flyfisher and Maria wanted her to catch something easy. I took them to a spot away from the brisk wind and helped Lisa with her casting technique. As a bonus, she caught her first saltwater fish on fly and then some tarpon popped up and we fished them for a while. The weather got really nasty and we decided to call it a day early to avoid the massive storms rolling in.

Raja is always a blast to fish with and he brought his girlfriend and another friend along. Today we faced high winds in the 25-30 MPH range but the mission was bonefish. There was only one place we could fish in these conditions so we worked it. Along the way we had a bonefish come in and eat but not get hooked while they caught tons of bonnet head sharks, sometimes within moments of each other. It was a blast and although the wind never died down, we are already booked for our next trip.

Local angler Josh is a really cool guy and has a Jeep like me! He wanted to focus on bonefish so we did but faced some tough morning conditions with high winds and thick coud cover. Never the less, we had some shots and the pulled on one. As the day progressed the visibility improved enough where we could sight fish and had a few more shots to end the day. Capt.

Some really cool people step aboard my boat and today it was Jenny and her brother Jaime who were born exactly 1 year apart and were celebrating their birthday today. The plan was to make sure they caught plenty of fish and had a good time so we did just that and ended the day with both of them hooking multiple sharks. Happy Birthday guys!

February 5, 2019 Report (Bonefish on fly video)

It's been a couple of years since I fished with Maria from CT but she was back in town and we headed out with flyrod in hand. She had some early morning shots at bonefish and redfish and then caught grouper, sennets and other fun stuff over a shallow shipwreck, but things were going to change. With perfect conditions and a great tide I told her we would hunt bonefish and she was up for it. After a few flats and plenty of shots at bonefish and permit she got the perfect cast to the perfect school and strip, strip, strip, "I'm on!" as the fly rod bent and the line started screaming out. What a feeling when we finally got the release! Congrats Maria! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFIshing
