Keeping them bent November 23, 2020

Jim and Annie flew in from Texas and Jim, being an avid fisherman, really wanted to try fishing in Miami.  We had a gorgeous day and with the live well loaded up we got on fish right away.  Using live pilchards the jacks and mangrove snappers kept Jim busy.  Then came the bull sharks and tossing out a bait in front of one of them guaranteed a hook up but then a spit hook, he never had the hook in him.  Then came another bite and Jim was on for about 15 minutes until the hook straightened.  Hmmm, that's odd.  We changed spots and hit a finger channel where we wrapped up the 4 hour trip catching more jacks and snappers including a nice mutton and some horse eye jacks.

First Timers and A Proud Dad November 15, 2020

Jake usually fishes with his friend Henry but today Jake brought his two little boys ages 7 and 11 to see of they would enjoy fishing from a boat.  Well, one of them did and the other not so much but we kept it light, close to the marina and targeted smaller fish they could handle.  At the end of the 3 hour trip, one of them wants to come back already!

Family Time November 14, 2020

George from the U.K. was back but this time he was with daughter and wife.  He booked a full day and wanted to keep the girls busy with different species and a boat tour as well so we did just that.  We caught bait and then we were off.  We hit a few spots and caught fish including some nice mutton snappers, mangrove snappers and more while showing the ladies around the bay and all the interesting and historical areas.  This was a very cool trip and it was great seeing George again and his family.

Fall's Mixed Bag November 13, 2020

Regular client Kevin from Utah brought his daughter and son in law and the goal was to keep them busy catching fish regardless of species.  Perfect, that's the perfect plan for fall.  So, I located some bait, threw the net a few times and loaded up the live well.  With enough bait on hand we fished a few different spots where they caught mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, yellow jacks, big blue runners, trigger fish and we lost a few really nice fish we couldn't keep out of the structure.  Then we hit the flats and got them some sharks.  It was a very cool trip with great people and the list of species caught was long.

And the wind continues.... November 5, 2020

 Kent and the gang were on for a second day and today we changed it up.  It was blowing 30 MPH today and we decided to stay close to the marina and in the lee of the wind as much as possible  Things worked out with the guys catching a bunch of mangrove snappers, jacks and we hooked a few bull sharks.  Nick was on the big bull shark and and hooked a nice 250 to 300lber.  The fight lasted 55 minutes and then the hook pulled.  Ouch!

This was a brutal yet satisfying day November 4, 2020

 Kent, his dad Jeff and brother Nick flew in from TX just to fish with for Kent's annual trip with me.  Well, with the wind blowing 30-35 MPH it would be a tough day but off we went.  The guys caught snappers, sharks and jacks and when the tide was right I took them to a flat that works for me and fished for bonefish.  We ended up hooking four and landing one bonefish, quite a feat in this relentless wind.  Whew, time for a nap!

Ask and You Shall Receive November 1, 2020

 Sometimes it just works out that way.  Ricky and his wife Samantha jumped aboard today and Ricky really wanted to land his first bonefish.  He's caught tons of fish before but this one still eluded him.  It was a gorgeous day but no the easiest with a steady 20 MPH wind blowing straight at us.  We went to a spot I really like, especially under these wind conditions and got to work.  It seemed like in no time later Ricky was hooked up and landed his first bonefish.  Whew, mission accomplished.  We could have had a double header but the second fish spit the hook.  After missing a few more bites and then getting slow we turned out attention to Samantha who really just wanted to catch fish and the shark she caught "didn't count".  LOL  I found bait, threw the net, loaded the well and hit a wreck.  Live chumming had the fish going nuts and they caught mutton snapper, yellow jacks, mangrove snappers and lost a few really nice fish.
