Dinner time April 18, 2021

 Micah booked me again for some dinner and brought his friend Dan along.  The guys had a great time and of course, talked smack to each other as they caught a bunch of snapper and took home a nice yellow jack and snappers.

We lost the fish of the day! April 17, 2021

 Jason and his friend Joe climbed aboard and we were off in search of tarpon.  This was a tough day with unusually high boat traffic, so much so that I had to wait in line for 20 minutes at the marina to launch the boat, at 6:40am!  A little late but at least I made it and we were off to target the species Jason wanted to catch, tarpon.  I fished a few spots and finally found some, rolling and happy so we set up on them and well, 5 minutes later a wake board boat showed up and ran all over them.  They settled downa nd started rolling again when a commercial fishing boat runs over them again.  Come on!  After that they disappeared so we left.  Fishing a few more spots for other species got the blood flowing and as I ran to another spot I see a huge school of big jacks on the surface.  We made a cast with a soft plastic and it was on as Jasin fought the 20-25lb jack until it broke us off on some structure .  Ouch!  The day was wrapped up with the guys catching snapper before heading in.

This trip was a blast! April 16, 2021

 I always have fun on my charters but today these folks had me rolling on the floor laughing.  The highlight here was Meagan and her sense of humor while Anne and her dad Jack just sat back and watched the Meagan show.  Jack and Anne are experienced anglers but Meagan hadn't fished since she was a kid so she was rusty.  Starting the morning tarpon fishing we found them with lockjaw as the girls gave Jack a hard time.  Once I took them to another spot to bend rods and catch a variety of fish it was on!  Meagan kept tangling the line or losing fish and I haven't laughed this hard in quite some time as she made light of herself and well, kept giving Jack a hard time.  They caught a ton of snappers, jacks, ladyfish and more.  This was a fun one!

The three amigos April 15, 2021

 Tristan, Jared and their friend came aboard my skiff from a brief stay in Homestead we were on our way.  Wanting to keep them close to the area I took them to a bonefish spot where they hooked three bonefish and lost them all, hooked two jumping lemon sharks and a couple of sting rays before I decided to change it up.  I took them to a couple of spots where throwing lures they caught snook.  It was a good trip but I'll lose sleep over those bonefish we lost.

Rod bending, tarpon hunting day April 14, 2021

 Marco wanted to spend some well deserved time with his son and admitted they hadn't fished in a while.  Well, that's awesome!  I took them to a couple of spots where they caught snapper and jacks but it's tarpon season and I can't help myself but to look for tarpon.  As we were tarpon fishing and watched them roll around us they guys got restless so I gave them a lure and had them blind cast.  The ladyfish were there and gave them good action before calling it a day.

Fast action and they had a blast April 13, 2021

 Todd and Jack fish with me every year so we kept the tradition going today as I picked them up from Fisher Island.  We didn't have to travel far to get into some action of snappers, jacks and lost a couple of snook.  Hitting a few other spots we kept the rods bent and had a great time.  See you in a few months guys!

Oh yeah! April 12, 2021

 After having Sunday off due to two cancellations and a last minute trip falling through I had a rare day off but today I was back to work and I was so glad.  I really needed redemption for Saturday and regular clients Joe and Kim were on board to make things happen.  Fishing a few spots waiting for the tide to turn they catch snappers, jacks and some other species but no bonefish or snook.  "Ok, it's time, the tide is right, let's move."  With the outgoing tide we fished a bridge for tarpon and I marked them clear as day on my Raymarine.  After setting up and using a simple technique Joe hooks up to about a 100lb tarpon.  Yes!  No!  The fish ran between two of the bridge pilings and cut us off.  Geeze, that's bridge fishing for tarpon for you.  After setting up again Joe hooked up again and this time landed his 100 lber.  Way to go Joe!  I feel better....
