March 11, 2019 AM & PM Reports

AM Report A few years ago I fished with Brad and his little girl and had a blast. This time she didn't come along and is 13 already! Armed with fly rod in hand we looked for tarpon and found some but they were scattered and tough to get to eat so after some time after tarpon we bonefished and Brad had a solid number of shots at nice sized bonefish in the little time we had left. PM Report My afternoon trip was with Greg who fished with me last month. This time it was a two boat trip and his wife, and sister and brother in laws jumped in my boat. Since we had great conditions I wanted to show them the flats so off we went. First we stopped off at a shallow wreck where they caught a ton of fish and then we hit the flats. The mistake I made was telling them we hook sharks 90% of the time. This ensured that only one small shark showed up but we did hook a big barracuda.

March 8, 2019 Report Video

With his son in town, local angler Kevin wanted to get on the water and spend some time with his son Matt so he called me at the last minute and it worked out since I was open. The conditions were tough with a stiff wind that kept things interesting but we got to the first spot and did well with fish caught on every cast. Afterwards we turned our attention to the flats and Matt hooked a few lemon sharks that kept him busy and us making his life just a bit more interesting! Great job Matt! Capt.

March 7, 2019 Report

I fished with David today and long time client Steve joined us. The goal was tarpon and tarpon only so we hunted until we found some. Well, tarpon being tarpon, they weren't in the mood to eat and the guys decided they wanted to try something else so we ran to a finger channel where they catch some fish to end the day on a high note.

March 6, 2019 Report

I had a two boat trip today and Sam and Sammy who have fished with me before but today Sam went on the other boat, a bigger bay boat and his friend went with me along with his two boys. The boys wasted no time catching fish and staying busy while I rigged up for bull sharks so dad could have some fun. It didn't take long for the bull sharks to come in and we hooked up but lost it after a 30 minute fight. It was a solid day with lots of fish and some tales to tell.

March 5, 2019 Report (Tarpon Video)

Regular long time client Alain from France was on board today and we mixed it up. Starting with tarpon we found some but they moved out when a big bull starting chasing them. Then we caught snapper and had bull sharks move in but for some strange reason they refused to eat over live baits. We finished off tarpon fishing where Alain hooked one about 140lbs and fighting in for about 15 minutes before the massive fish broke us off on bottom structure. That sucked! Capt.

March 4, 2019 AM & PM Reports

AM Report Jeff was back on the bow today but this time it was just him armed with a fly rod. Given the windy conditions we found tarpon that refused to take a fly and then we had plenty of shots at bonefish. PM Report Rob is from the UK and he tried to fish with me last year but I was booked so today I was able to finally fish with him and it was a pleasure! He really wanted to make sure he caught fish so he put on hurting on nice big mangrove snappers. Along the way we had bull sharks move through and 4 or 5 of them came up to eat the bait we had set up for them but they kept missing it and never did get hooked after providing a spectacular show.

March 3, 2019 Report

For his birthday Dylan got to go fishing with his mom Fran and his girlfriend Bethany. The guys were awesome and we had a blast! Starting off chasing bones on fly Dylan had some shots before the girls started to hint that they wanted to fish too. Moving to a spot I like they loaded up on fish and it was bent rods on almost every cast. Then we hot the flats again but for sharks this time. Not long after a big lemon came up, took the bait and Dylan got a 250 plus lb lemon shark after an hour and 20 minutes. Way to go guys!
