Today was not one of the fun days December 22, 2020

 I had Rocco and his two teenage kids from Toronto onboard.  The goal was to bonefish on fly and we started off with a couple of spots we could fish in the lee of some breeze.  However, it was time to move and change location so we crossed Biscayne Bay to fish the oceanside flats.  BUT, as we were crossing the wind cranked up to about 20 MPH and made for a tough crossing midway.  The bonefishing proved slow but the wind calmed to about 15 MPH so we fished a few wrecks for some action and while we did have some fun they were not as stellar as they have been.

This Never Gets Old! December 21, 2020

 I had a full crew today with Alan, his son and his friend Andre.  I can tell you the days have been spectacular and today was no exception.  We fished a couple of spots using lures and shrimp on jigs but things were slow as I worked my way south.  Once I got to a channel that has been producing lately it was fishing at break neck speed.  First, Alan got a barracuda and then working the drop off of a flat scored on a nice bonefish.  YES!  Then it was game on with the other guys as well as they caught mackerel, porgies, snapper, yellow jacks and more, a total of 8 species in one spot with non stop action.  Once they were worn out I took them to a cool spot for some r and r and headed back reliving a great day.

Kids Fish Fest December 20, 2020

 Steven and his boys Raj and Revi were in for a treat as they boarded my skiff this morning.  Steven wanted the boys to catch some fish and have a good experience and well, read on. 

With a live well full of live shrimp we fished one spot, just one spot and it was game on from the start!  The kids were constantly hooked up to yellow jacks, snappers, big porgies, a few bruisers that took them to school all the while Steven was working a lure and once he figured out the retrieve it was fish on every cast.  What a morning and most importantly, the kids are hooked!

It's Raining Silver December 19, 2020

Kurt has fished all over the world for bonefish but Biscayne Bay hasn't been one of those places.  So, with that in mind we headed off to bonefish.  At the first spot we saw a few schools but we didn't connect.  The second spot would be a different story as Kurt wound up releasing a nice 8 pound bonefish, his biggest to date.  He had hooked up a few minutes before and with the bonefish starting to roll in I was cool with sticking around but he wanted to try something different.  Something different was a shallow ship wreck that were loaded with yellow jacks, big blue runners, mutton snappers and more all caught on lures.  Nice work Kurt!

Spectacular Two Trips Today December 18, 2020

 Wow, wow, wow!  What a day today!  I had two trips today in 55 degree weather and my morning trip was with Troy and 12 year old Alex.  On our second spot the guys slayed the snook and Alex got his first bonefish.  Troy reached a point where it was snook on every cast but Alex ended up catching the bigger ones.  Way to go Alex! Oh, in between snook and bonefish they kept crushing nice sized jacks and mutton snappers.  

My afternoon trip was with Bill who wanted to bonefish on fly.  It would be tough since by now the wind was up to 20 MPH.  But first, we hit the morning spot and Bill picked up a couple of snook.  Once the tide reached the point I wanted we went bonefishing where Bill hook 3 on fly and landed one.  Nice!

It was a silver and gold kind of day today!

OH SO CLOSE! December 16, 2020

 This is the sport where seconds and millimeters matter, sometimes a lot!  I had Jason and Ben today with Ben fly fishing and Ben spinning.  They just wanted to catch fish but didn't mind giving bonefish a shot.  So, we bonefished and had a decent number of shots.  Jason was on the bow and made a few good casts and so did Ben.  However, on one of them Ben made a great cast and the school went right over and missed his shrimp.  On another school Jason made a great cast, began stripping and we see a bonefish pull away from the school and wake right for his fly.  Then bam, the bone ate the fly but Jason pulled the rod back just a bit and pulled the fly.  Ouch!  The rest of the trip we focused on catching yellow jacks, big blue runners, snappers and more on fly and lures.  It was a blast and the guys wore themselves out.   But then we hot the flats and caught lemon sharks.  then they knew what it was to get worn out by a fish.  LOL

Keeping the Fly Rod Bent and a Surprise December 14, 2020

 Today my client was Tom with the goal to fly fish and catch different species.  With great bonefish conditions we committed a few hours and had some shots but no hook ups.  From there we fished a few wrecks where Tom caught a bunch of species, especially fun and hard fighting yellow jacks on fly.  These fish were so hyped up they were crushing his fly on the surface and devouring gurglers.  Nice!  As an added bonus, there was a goliath grouper on the wreck, I've never seen one on these wrecks before.  Pretty cool but concerning because once they move in they devour everything.
