I'll be honest, after the wind yesterday I was a bit concerned but I've been fishing with Nathan and his boys Elijah and Reed for a few years now and took a chance. I was glad I did, and glad I ignored the notoriously inaccurate forecast, because we had great conditions and the wind had died down significantly. So, we did what I've been doing on almost all my trips lately, load up on bait (pilchards) and head to the hard bottom that has been on fire. And, it was on from the moment we got there with all three guys hooking up almost instantly on a number of different species such as grouper, big mutton snappers, yellow jacks, big mangrove snappers and more. The action was non-stop and an absolute blast! The trip ended on the flats for sharks but they were MIA.

Ravi and Scott were in town for a conference and couldn't resist getting some fishing in for whatever was biting. Well, there's been a lot biting lately and they took full advantage catching grouper, mutton snapper, big mangrove snappers. However, the strong 20 plus MPH wind made it tough and we soon had to seek shelter in the finger channels where we live chummed up some muttons, yellow tail snappers and yellow jacks. The fish of the day was Ravi's as he hooked a monster we could never turn and broke off 10 minutes into the fight as we chased it around. Urgh!

What a difference in the wind today with Max and Freddy. It was blowing about 20 MPH and it was nasty. Freddy had asked me if it was fishable and I said yes but we met up at a different marina that offered some cover from the wind. I couldn't catch bait today so I bought plenty and looked for tarpon that were MIA. Not wanting to disappoint the guys I decided to make a long run south and brave the wind and chop knowing it would be worth it, and it was! Once we got set up I threw a few live baits out as chum and they got exploded on almost instantly. And the story went as all the other recent reports you've read from me. They caught the heck out of fish including two big muttons, grouper, yellow jacks, huge rainbow runners, and more! When the dust settled we made the long ride home. However, once I got back to the ramp my trim motor quit so I had to prop up the motor for the ride home with a coconut. How about that! LOL

George was back in town form MD to visit his boys and booked an afternoon trip. It was too late to catch bait (pilchards) but we found some perfect sized mullet and cast netted them. In the same area we set up and had three snook blow up on our bait but miss them each time. Bonefishing was slow and George sight cast a nice barracuda all while waiting for the tide and light to be right. Once they both reached the best alignment we hit a creek again and had another 4-5 snook blow up on our baits but miss and not get hook. How frustrating!

It has been years since I fished with Glenn and it was great to see him again along with his girl friend Laura. Since he told me he just wanted her to catch anything I was all excited. So, we met at first light, caught bait and hit a spot I've been working and it was ON! One of the classic lines uttered on my boat was by Laura when she hooked her first fish, a nice one and she screams "there has to be an easier way!" Awesome! Well, they caught tons of fish including nice muttons and big yellow jacks and Laura became an expert after today. What a day!

With the fishing so good David couldn't resist and booked again today having his friend Steve come along. It was a repeat of our last few trips together and of most all my recent trips which is; start at first light, find pilchards (bait) cast net enough to black out the well and hit some shallow areas for grouper, mutton snappers, yellow jacks, big mangrove snappers and more. So, we did that and they caught fish like crazy wrapping up the day with David losing a monster mutton that we had specifically targeted. Ouch!

I get to fish with great people from all over the world and today was one of those days as John and his 11 year old son Esten from Australia booked me for a half day in the morning. Fishing our of Key Biscayne today I had to buy bait instead of catching it on my own and of course, they never did give me enough but we do with what we have. Live pilchards and live shrimp occupied the livewell but their days were numbered. I tried a good pilchard spot to load up on more bait on the way down to the spot of the morning but nada so we left. Setting up and getting a few liveies in the water as chum, it turned on as Esten caught smaller fish on shrimp and John tore it up on larger fish on live pilchards. We had a great morning with groupers, big mangrove snappers, mutton snappers, yellow tail snappers, trigger fish, yellow jacks and a few blue runners to boot. Once we ran out of bait we hit the flats for sharks and hooked 5 big lemons within the first 30 minutes before heading back in. What a morning! I love fall and it will only get better from here!
