Don's back! September 12, 2021

 He's back!  Last minute change to his work schedule allowed Don to get back on the water so we target snook in the creeks but no one was home.  Then we tried bonefishing but that sucked.  OK, hmmm, let's try the wrecks.  Well, they held some fish but all small.  We managed to catch a few runners on lures and then hit the flats for small lemons on light tackle.  I have to tell you, the fishing was slow and it took much longer for these guys to show up but they did and Don was busy fighting sharks every few minutes for a nice stretch before the end of the trip.

First timers score! September 11, 2021

 First time clients Stefan and Mark picked a perfect weather day to head out so off we went.  We tried bonefishing and permit fishing in the early morning but that was slow.  However, I did find large schools of bait (fall is coming!) and loaded up the livewell with plenty of pilchards over the grass flats.  All it took was one spot and the guys lit it up.  I live chummed a bit and the party started quickly with snappers or yellow jacks on almost every cast and it got better as we got closer to the end of the trip.  Towards the end Stefan hooks a massive fish and after a long fight and numerous sizzling runs he landed a big barracuda, with no wire leader!  Wow!

They're back! September 6, 2021

 David and his boys were back on board and ready to have a good time.  The fishing started slow with the first wreck being devoid of life but the second one had plenty of snappers, jacks and blue runners to keep the boys busy.  Once they had their fill we hit the flats where the boys did their best at landing some lemon sharks that were hungry and aggressive.  They did a great job fighting their fish with a little help from dad.  Good job guys!

The back up plan September 5, 2021

 Boy the weather has been absolutely perfect but the weekend boat ramp traffic has been tough.  I've been getting to the marina about 40 minutes before each weekend charter just to be able to launch the boat.  Anyway, Bill jumped in and we started off bonefishing but after a few shots, no hook ups and then fwe fish we changed it up catching some jacks and snappers on wrecks but no big mutton snappers yet.  The morning ended on a flat sight fishing for lemon sharks where Bill had a blast watching them eat and then making really long jumping runs.  Very cool!

Toughing it out September 4, 2021

 Don has been in Miami for work about a month now and he decided he wanted to fish and catch species he doesn't catch back home with an emphasis on bonefish.  Bonefishing was the start of the morning as we found a few schools but no major movement and so we changed it up fishing some wrecks where Don caught some nice fish on lures.  Overall the fishing was good but the bones were largely MIA today.

Just bending rods September 1, 2021

 Back on the boat after a long hiatus was Dan.  We fished a number of years ago with his son and now he was back with his friend on a day off from work.  The goal was to just bend rods and catch whatever and so we did.  The fishing was definitely slow today only catching small snappers but no sharks or nice jacks.

The fun duo August 30, 2021

I had two great local kids today in Eli and Jackson.  These 16 year olds wanted to try fly fishing for bonefish and we started off working the leeward side of a point where there are usually bonefish swimming through as we tried to stay out of the usually high wind courtesy of hurricane Ida.  The boys worked on the double haul I taught them and they picked it up quicker than most but we didn't hook any bones.  Spot two was desolate so I thought I timed the tides right but once we got to where I wanted the tide hadn't turned.  With about an hour left in the trip the boys decided to catch fish versus hunt for bonefish so I took them to a wreck where they caught a bunch of snappers and runners with Jackson outfishing Eli on fly.  What, more fish on fly than bait?  Yes!  Today fly was the hot ticket but in the end is was a draw.
