Dang! August 8, 2022

Phil is a repeat client and today he brought his wife Sherry and their 6 year old fishing phenom Elliott.  Phil wanted Elliott to get his first bonefish and the same for Sherry so we went to work.  Conditions weren't great with it being windier than usual.  Actually, all summer long it has been windier than usual but the fish still have to eat.  Fishing only two spots is all we needed to do but it took some patience.  Spot one Phil landed a permit within the first 30-40 minutes and then it was crickets.  After investing some time in that spot something told me to move.  Arriving at the second spot it was slow at first but then it popped. Just like that bonefish started to swim through allowing Sherry to get her first bonefish, about a 10 pounder.  Then hooked on and handed the rod to Elliott who did a great job fighting and landing his first bonefish, also about 10 pounds.  Then Phil hooked up again and landed a 10 pounder and we ended the trip with Phil landing yet another one but this one was about 12lbs.  As the fish was in the landing net in the water it somehow swam out before we could get a really good picture of it but heck, we landed him and that's what counts.

It was on fire! August 7, 2022

Andy and his son Ben were my clients for today and they were primed for bonefish and permit.  It has been on fire lately so I was ready to show them some bones and permit.  Incredibly, 30 minutes into the trip Andy hooks up and lands his first permit.  Wow, what a start!  Not long after he lands another permit.  What?!  Ben was way too quite working away until he hooked up to a nice bonefish and then added two more after that with Andy wrapping up the trip with a bonefish of his own.  The total for the four hour trip was 2 permit and four nice bonefish.  Way to go guys!

Changing it up August 5, 2022

I have to tell you, this job keeps me on my toes.  Yesterday it was bonefish and permit and today I had repeat client Dave with his boys to target sharks.  With bait in hand we were ready to go and I took them to a spot that usually has 40-60lb sharks, perfect for the boys.  It didn't take long and eventually we started to get some bites.  We lost the first couple of sharks but eventually started landing them on medium spinning tackle and had a blast watching them eat, run and put up a great fight in 2' of water.

Father/Son Slayers August 4, 2022

Manny and son Manny have fished with me before and today they were in for a treat as the fishing has been red hot plus I was eager to get back on the water after a nice long vacation.  We focused on the west side of the bay and using live shrimp had Manny (dad) catch a nice bonefish.  Meanwhile, Manny (son) was on a dry spell when he finally hooked up and landed a nice only to upgrade twice after that.  The final tally was four bonefish.

Just fishing July 14, 2022

These were two great guys from Boston, John and his friend who were down here with a group of friends to party but these guys love fishing.  The fishing was slow over all but we also missed some bites on really nice fish.  In the end we caught some red groupers, barracudas and snappers and jacks to finish off the half day trip.

Tiny but an awesome sign July 11, 2022

Elizabeth, her husband and son from Nebraska couldn't be any nicer and they wanted to see Miami from the water and do some fishing.  I took them to a few spots where they caught a number of species but the highlight for me was this tiny bonefish we caught while fishing with shrimp.  This is the smallest bonefish I've ever caught but it made me so happy because it a a great sign that our bonefish population is in great shape and the future is bright.

Dad Daughter Time July 9, 2022

Dad daughter trips are the coolest as they remind me of my daughter and the time we've spent on the boat together.  This morning I was treat to time with Mark and his daughter to do some fishing and get her a shark.  The first spot is all we needed and she had her hands full with small to medium lemon sharks and nurse sharks.
