Oh so close so many times! May 2, 2022

I had Nick on board today with fly rod in hand for some general fly catching so we started off for snook where he had a couple of hits but swings and miss.  WIth the wind increasing I took him to a few wrecks where he caught a bunch of snappers and jacks on fly.  As the wind increased we fished the lee of a key next to a channel and waited for the bonefish to move out of the channel and onto the flat. It took longer than I would like but eventually they started to move through and Nick had plenty of shots at bonefish, turning a few with the fly but not getting a commit.

Family Fun May 1, 2022

I had Dan and his two boys today with the goal of keeping the boys busy.  We started early in order to beat the weekend crowd and got on fish right away with the boys catching small mutton snappers, mangrove snappers, small grouper, trigger fish, blue runners and small amberjacks on a shallow ship wreck.  We finished off the trip on the flats for small to medium sharks where the boys landed one shark and hooked a couple more that came off.

It worked backwards April 30, 2022

Alex was back on board today with his buddy Brandon and the weather worked backwards today.  It started off nasty with us having to constantly change spots to avoid the lighting and strong rain but thankfully Alex is a tough guy and we stuck it out.  We made a long run to almost north Key Largo where there was a clear spot with no storms and we bonefished getting Alex a nice bonefish.  As the weather started to clear and Brandon really wanting a shark we moved back north as the weather slowly improved.  We couldn't make it to the shark flats but I found a small mullet mud, probably the last mullet mud of the year and worked it lures.  It was on fire with the guys catching bluefish or lady fish on almost every cast as long as we were on a certain spot of the mud.  Man, it was a cool day today with great guys and a strong finish to a super busy month for me.

Three Crazy Dudes April 29, 2022

Brad, Jason and Cody couldn't be nicer guys to fish with.  The guys kept me laughing and had a blast.  We started tarpon fishing with tarpon rolling around us but soon enough they told me they decided no tarpon, but sharks instead.  Off we went to the flats and it was on fire. I set out the baits, turned around and they were on with Brad on first.  We lost that fish but eventually all three guys caught sharks and the bite was non stop.

She beat the tarpon! April 28, 2022

Emily and Chris from Oregon wanted to try tarpon fishing.  I told them it's been a tough season with slim pickings during the day but we went for it.  With the calm conditions I had a feeling they would be in a spot where they have rarely been this season so off we went.  A short run later we got to the spot and there they were, rolling here and there.  We set up and had two baits out but soon after Emily hooks up and after a tough but efficient fisht, she got her big tarpon to the boat.  I grabbed the leader for the official release and then the tarpon surged and dashed to the back of the boat as a 400lb bull shark tried to eat it.  I hit the throttle and broke off the tarpon and ran circles in order to scare the shark.  It worked as the tarpon swam away with no sign of the shark.  Whew, close call.  We wrapped up the trip fishing a bridge for tarpon but they refused to eat.

Brown Tarpon April 27, 2022

We kept it moving with David and Joel as we tried tarpon and bonefishing without success on a pretty slow day.  The were itching to fish for sharks though so we wrapped up an otherwise slow day fishing for lemon sharks on the flats and that was on fire.  The guys hooked a number of them in short order as the tide came off the flat and saved the day for two very cool guys.

Greg the Adventurer April 26, 2022

Alex is a long time regular client and he is an awesome dude and he brought his buddy Greg today.  Greg has sailed all across the globe in sail racing competitions and fell in love with Biscayne Bay.  The goal was shark so I took them to a channel to catch bait and had a blast catching nice yellow jacks as well as hooking a couple of black tip sharks that were coming out of the water to hit our baits.  Nice!  Once on the flats the guys caught sharks before calling it a day.
