March 21, 2019 Report

Scott and local angler Mark were back on board after about a year and off we went to find tarpon. We found them and tons of them! In the process we were throwing flies and got two solid bites next to the boat but they didn't stay on. What;s going on here? Capt.

Back on the water today and today Tim from N.C. jumped aboard. We had a pretty stiff breeze so we decided to ditch the fly rod and use bait. Well, it worked. I found some tarpon, set up and Tim hooked two mooses, losing both on the jumps. Urgh, tough day! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFIshing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

It was Creighton's birthday today and his wife was nice enough to get him a fishing trip while they were in town. We met up early and beat the traffic to a tarpon spot where they were stacked up! Creigh was throwing fly and got a couple of bites but no hook ups.

March 17, 2019 Report (Tarpon Video)

After my last trip I really needed to be redeemed and I had two trips today to get it done. My morning trip was with James and Wesley from Ky and they wanted tarpon. I went back to a spot where the tarpon have been thick and friendly and we hooked 3 and landed two during hour four hour trip including a 45 minute fight with James' fish and about an hour on Wesley's fish. The guys did well and I started to feel better already.
Joel, Travis and Carlos joined me for the afternoon trip and they asked "what's biting?". Tarpon! I took them back to the morning spot and Carlos hooked another nice fish and after a 40 minute fight and tag teaming with Travis, we got their first tarpon. Along the way we missed another bite and, caught a mackerel and lost a big jack that ate a plug as they were destroying schools of bait. Capt.

I was supposed to fish with Scott and his son but I had engine problems and had to cancel the trip so I was eager to get out today especially with Rob. He and I always have a blast with today being no exception. I changed it up today and took him to the Everglades where he had never been. I had dreams of snook, reds, tarpon and trout on fly. What we got was extremely milky, dirty water from the last few days of wind and challenging conditions. I had to find clean water so I ran to the gulf and it still took a few miles north to locate cleaner water. Once I did we found some tarpon off the beach and missed a snook and some other fish on fly while catching jacks along the way and having a couple of shots at mudding redfish. Fed up with the tough conditions, we put the boat back on the trailer and launched on the "inside" of the Everglades where we fished pints and had snook follow the fly and catch a few more jacks and snapper. Definitely not an easy day and I was highly disappointed.

Urgh, the weather today was brutal with 25 MPH east winds making things really challenging. Scott and his son Scott jumped aboard with flyrod in hand and we played hide and seek all morning missing a few bites from trout and barracudas. Capt.

Man I've been busy! Today was a day of mixing it up between small fish and big fish. ALex brought his two boys, 13 year old Michael and 10 year old Eli. The boys wanted to catch small fish first and they did just that, and lots of them! They had they fill with nice sized snappers and then it was time to change it up. I took them to a tarpon spot, located the fish and set up. It took some time but eventually Michael hooked up to a 150lb beast that jumped twice towards the boat with the last jump aimed right at us just 20' from the boat. After a long run the fish came off and we were all catching our breaths. Wow, what a way to end a great day!
