This kid can outfish you July 5, 2021

 I know things happen for a reason and that was the theme today as this trip almost didn't happen due to tropical storm Elsa.  Valentyn had booked me about a week ago and wanted his 12 year old son Ivan to catch a big fish but there is hurricane Elsa that was supposed to make a mess of things on Monday so we cancelled.  Then Monday morning I wake up and the day is nice.  What?!  I called Valentyn and we were back on.  The first spot was awesome with plenty of fun lady fish eating everything in sight but the highlight was Ivan catching a big permit on his own!  I marked them on my Raymarine, baited Ivan up and told him what to do and then the hook up!  After a long tough fight and some coaching, Ivan had his big permit in the boat.  Wow!  We then fished a different spot for sharks and we quickly went 2 for 3 before having to race back to the marina out running the first Elsa related cell.  Today was awesome!

Fishing on July 4, 2021

 Ellis wanted to fish today and boy were the ramps busy!  We had to start at 6:30am in order to ensure I could launch the skiff before the marinas got full, plus I wanted to hit some areas before anyone else did.  I got to the marina at 5:30am and waited for Ellis for an hour but at least I was on the water.  We tried to bonefish and there were tons of fish around but after a few shots the wind kicked up that fishing was over.  Changing gears we moved on and Ellis caught a bunch of snappers and runner on lures and then quickly got three sharks before we called it a day.

Oh so many shots! July 2, 2021

 Wow, what a morning and how frustrating! I had Duncan and his dad John on board again today and conditions couldn't be any more perfect.  Calm winds, the water like glass and tons of fish around to throw a fly to.  As I poled them through the permit zone in to the area where there are typically a lot of bonefish we couldn't actually get to the bonefish for all the permit around,  There were schools of permit everywhere but things just didn't work out.  The bonefish situation was similar with no lack of shots or fish to throw at.  This will haunt me.

Father and Son June 25, 2021

Today I fished with Eunice and his son and because it was pretty breezy I didn't want to cross the Bay and beat them up so we tried a couple of different areas for bonefish and snook but it was pretty slow although while we were snook fishing the guys did miss a few bites from snook on artificials. I was really hoping to get them some bonefish but the bonefish won today.

Happy Father's Day June 20, 2021

I was trying not to work today on Father's Day but today was the only day Lou could fish and since he came recommended by a good client of mine I couldn't say no. Lou was so laid back and so cool and the dude can fish but today was one of those days that was absolutely shut down in Biscayne Bay. We tried to look for tarpon and couldn't locate any, we bonefished for a while and didn't see any, then we tried to fish for snook and they had disappeared and although we ended up catching some jacks and snappers it was definitely not at all what I was hoping to show Lou.

Mom and son, who wins? June 18, 2021

Kendall had booked a 1/2 day charter with me in order to take her son Liam fishing. Liam is 8 years old and he is a fishing machine. I wanted to stay away from the bigger tarpon that would be really difficult for him to land so we focused on snook but they seemed to be out spawning already and not at the areas where I typically target them out of the wind. Although it was pretty windy today we did find some areas where Liam caught a whole bunch of different species including yellow Jacks, mutton snappers, jack crevales and more and we had a very cool trip with him staying busy and trying to outfish his mom.

Two fun days June 16/17 2021

I had the pleasure of fishing with Rodney and Lee for 2 days and they were so much fun to hang out with. On the 1st day Lee didn't even want the fish he just wanted to sit back and relax while Rodney did most of fishing and picked up quite a few fish along the way. We had started tarpon fishing but that proved to be slow and the snook were MIA. On the 2nd day we repeated the process but we tried to bonefish for a while and saw a couple of schools move through but it proved to be slow so we turned our attention to just catching fish and had another nice day on the water.
