February 25, 2019 Report

Local kids Misha Abe and his brother are from Fort Lauderdale and they wanted to do some tarpon fishing and all around scouting out Biscayne Bay. We started off looking for tarpon and found a whole bunch early on but before we got a bite they were gone within 30 minutes. We kept searching for Tarpon throughout the trip but ended up catching some nice Snappers along the way just to keep things interesting and hooking several sharks.

February 24, Report

This was a late start Charter with repeat client Ed and his friends. The first time we first said and I worked at Shoreline for Bonefish and he hooked a big double-digit fish but lost it on the initial long run. After that Ted has been hooked! Today he just wanted to make sure his buddy caught some shower shipwreck top plenty of fish there and then turned our attention to the flats where we were able to charm out some Bonefish state route to be spookier than usual not sticking around long enough to get a hook in them.

February 22, 2019 AM & PM Reort

AM Report Bob and I were scheduled to fish at the end of December but we had 30 mile an hour winds so today was the day we have rescheduled and the goal was Bonefish Tarpon or permit on fly. We had decent conditions and Bob had some shots at Bonefish on the flats and although we came close a few times we came up short. However the highlights for me was seeing this big 30 + pound permit on the flat and having Bob take some shots at it as well. Those fish still make my knees weak. PM Report I afternoon trip was with Brandon Steve and these were great guys. They really wanted to bend some rods and catch some fish so we stayed close to the marina and did well on a bunch of different species including big bull sharks to give them their on the water workout that way they don't have to go to the gym that afternoon.

February 21, 2019 Report

I have to admit when I get to be 83 years old I want to be like Bobby. Greg is a local and his mom is 83 years old and was in town and he wanted to take her fishing so off we went. We tried to get some fish on fly for Greg but that didn't work out well in the meantime Bobby was tearing it up on bait. We did have some restrictions and that we had to keep Bobby comfortable because she's had several back surgeries and we couldn't go fast so we stayed in one spot where we caught a ton of fish and then wrap it up with Greg Landing a massive bull shark at the end. It's always great when you get to accomplish your goals while fishing with some great people.

February 20, 2019 Report (Tarpon Video)

I had an afternoon trip today with Bill, Cody and Matt. We looked for tarpon first but they were MIA. Changing it up they caught a nice snapper on every cast and then Matt hooked and fought a massive bull shark for over 30 minutes before being broken off as it thrashed on the surface. With time winding down I couldn't help but give tarpon fishing another shot and it paid off. Just minutes after setting up Cody was on to a big 120lb tarpon. The whole fight from hook up to release was 15 minutes because there was a big bull shark after it and we got the leader release and avoided both of the the big bull's attacks on the tarpon, pulling off a miracle.

Paul and Will boarded today with one simple request, let's keep the rods bent. Ok, so we did. They caught a bunch of fish in the finger channels and then we targeted bull sharks where Will fought one for a while before the hook came free. Urgh! Great people and great day and I was happy that Will lost the bet they had going on which was if they caught more than two fish Will had to pay dad Paul $50. Pay up Will!

February 17, 2019 AM & PM Reports

AM Report MY morning trip was with a couple of awesome brother who grew up in Key West. Before they left KW at around age 10, they finally hooked but lost a big barracuda that used to live by their dock. Today, they wanted redemption, and I was honored to be a part of their rare time together. Rob quickly sight cast a nice cuda and then Steve had a bunch of opportunities but they would track the lure to the boat and spook. The guys had a blast and it was a great day full of laughs and great stories.
PM Report My afternoon trip was with Tom, Jules and mom Erin. I took them to a wreck where they caught a bunch of porgies and snapper before we headed to the flat. With the crew warmed up we shark fished and they got a big stingray and a shark. Jules is a marine biology student and it was a thrill for her to catch the species she has written papers on, sharks.
