Big Girl! May 13, 2021

I hadn't fish with Erich in a couple of years so we met up today and he really wanted to catch a big fish but with slick calm conditions I couldn't help but take him bonefishing. There were quite a few schools moving and he had some solid shots that I thought were guaranteed hookups but the schools of bonefish didn't locate his bait so we left heartbroken, well mainly me. We moved off to a ship wreck where Erich caught a bunch of fish including a few that we kept for shark fishing. With bait in hand we hit the flats immediately hooked up a 7' lemon shark that gave him an epic battle. After the release it was time to call it a day and run back with the mission of big fish accomplished.

This is the way to get the day started! May 11, 2021

 Jim jumped aboard and was up for anything.  Well, with the calm conditions we had I couldn't help myself taking him bonefishing.  As I poled along the first flat we blew out a few schools but quickly recovered and went 3 for 3 on bonefish in the first hour.  Wow!  As we continued Jim hooked two more that spit the hook for a final tally of 3-5 in the first 2 hours of the trip.  Changing it up for snook Jim got a nice barracuda instead before we headed back.  Nice work Jim!

She won! May 10, 2021

 Today I had Martin and his wife and we were going to mix it up, she would use spin and Martin would be throwing a fly.  This is always a tough deal because things have to work just right and the species we can fish for have to be narrowed down but we did.  Martin had a few on but they came off close to the boat, more than likely nice jacks but one sure seemed like snook.  His wife on the other hand caught a ton of fish including snook that came off next to the boat, mutton snappers, mangrove snappers, jacks and more.  This was definitely a fun trip.

He Finally Made it Down! May 9, 2021

 The good is that I was able to fish with Rob again after a year of not seeing him due to the pandemic.  The bad, it's Mother's Day and I have to work.  The conditions today we certainly tough but we stuck to the shoreline outside the marina and got to work.  This was a strictly fly trip and in spite of my best efforts the snook and bonefish were MIA.  Sorry Rob!

Keeping Busy May 8, 2021

 Randy and I fished about 5 years ago but it didn't feel like that long ago.  The goal was to keep the rods bent and try different things so with great conditions we had a long list of options.  We started off by looking for bonefish and found some schools.  After lining Randy up and him making some great casts the bones would swim over the bait and move on.  This happened a few times, they were certainly not seeing the bait but it was head scratching, this always works!  Moving off to another spot we tried once again but here they were MIA.  Hmmm, we wrapped it up at a wreck catching some snappers before the trip ended.

It finally happened! May 7, 2021

Pat is from the west coast of Florida and has caught everything except bonefish.  The last time we fished he had some shots and a few fish appeared to eat but never hooked up so we were giving it another shot today.  Conditions were truly perfect so to work I got with Pat on the bow.  He had some shots at the first spot but when the tide was right I decided to make a move.  But, moments into the trip I rig a shrimp for him, he drops it in the water and a snook eats it next to the boat.  What a start and how bizzare! I took a bit at the new spot but eventually we began to see tails, wakes and Pat was on point.  The first shot was solid, the fish swirls on his bait, he feels the tug and sets the hook, a big NO NO!  The second shot was similar but this time he did everything right and still no hook up.  I'm starting to feel the pressure. Then I see a bunch of tails working their way towards us and I pole him into positions.  I can tell it's a big school but can't tell where the lead fish are so he made a long cast and let it sit.  Moments later there's a swirl, the line jumps and he's on!  A solid fight later he netted his bonefish.  Whew!  We had a few eats after that and then called it a day.  Congrats Pat!

What a gorgeous day! May 6, 2021

 Sometimes the weather is too perfect and Steve and I learned that today.  We began tarpon fishing in typical May conditions, slick calm, no wind, clear water and hundreds of tarpon all around us.  However, with the clear water the tarpon weren't feeding and swimming under the boat taunting us.  Moving on to snook Steve hooked a couple but lost them so off to the flats where he had some good shots at bonefish and permit on fly.
