He fooled many of them! March 2, 2023

Dale is a first time client and he likes to throw artificials at bonefish.  On the phone he told me he had some favorite jigs he likes to throw but he would go with what ever I suggested.  Well, Dale boarded the skiff and we headed out on a run to the first flat of the morning.  Once on the flat he pulled out a pack of jigs and asked if they would work.  I looked at them and said "YES!".  They looked like one of my favorite bonefish flies.  We tried working it a bit but the really high tide made the 3/16 ounce jig take too long to get to the bottom and we missed a few opportunities.  After landing a few on a heavier bonefish jig I tied on for him the tide dropped enough where his jig made sense to use.  Well, Dale is a pin point caster and we had a school coming right at us at his 1 o'clock and made a perfect cast and worked that jig ever so sweetly, only to watch a bonefish follow it and turn away.  He quickly reeled up, recast and dropped it in the middle of the school where another bonefish crushed it and Dale was on!  A nice fight later we completed our day of hooking 9 bonefish and landing 7.  Dang Dale, that was awesome!  I loved those Buggs Jigs and I'll be ordering some.

First time is a charm March 1, 2023

After a day off Nikko was back in the boat but brought his brother Anthony along.  The last time we fished Nikko caught a few bonefish and wanted his brother to experience the sane thrill.  But, those bonefish made us work today.  The fishing was definitely slower today and it started off pretty slow but then it all changed.  The bones started swimming and we got a few shots until Anthony finally got a solid hookset and had the big bone blister the drag on a long run.  After a few breath taking runs and some powerful boat side antics, the big bonefish came to the boat and had Anthony really impressed.  Whew, that was close!

Ending the month. February 27, 2023

This month has been on fire with me running a record number of trips compared to Februarys past and the fishing has been solid with a few slow days just to keep things interesting.  My last trip of the month was with long time client Brad who has been fishing with me for about 10 years, wow that's a long time!  Anyway, Brad likes to spin and fly fish but with perfect bonefish conditions we decided to fish fly for bonefish.  It was generally slow compared to other recent days but Brad got a bonefish on fly and missed a couple of quick bonefish bites that are hard to react to.  Oh, and we had an early morning hook up out of a school of bonefish that turned out to be a jack that beat the bones to the fly.  LOL

The long week February 20-24, 2023

This week I fished with long time regular client Mike, squeezed in another long time client Maria right after a long day on the water with Mike and fished both Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park.  I'll summarize because there was lots going on.  The tides this week were EXTREMELY low and caused us to adjust in both places we fished but the most extreme tides were in the Everglades.  During this week both clients were fly clients and Mike caught bonefish, a number of different fun species on fly and we wrapped up the week catching plenty of sharks on fly in the Everglades.  Maria brought the awesome Tom along and on the half day we fished I poled them around for bonefish and Tom did a great job casting and talking his bonefish into eating his fly.  He did a masterful job and the pics say it all.

Repeat client, new species February 19, 2023

Mike and I have fished before and he called me up for another trip.  He didn't really care what we fished for so I told him we should give bonefish a try.  We lost the first couple of fish and then Mike finally scored his first bonefish towards the end of the trip and after the dust settled he told me bass will never appeal to him the same way again.  I agree Mike!

The pressure was on! February 18, 2023

Wow, Tony sure put pressure on himself and me as he and his two boys Liam and Evan were REALLY looking forward to catching their first bonefish.  When he first called me to book the trip he told me they wanted to fish for bonefish and catch a lot of them.  I explained those were mutually exclusive terms but we would give it a shot.  Ha, it worked out!  All of them caught their first bonefish!  Whew!  Then they wanted to mix it up so we fished the finger channels where they tore it up on several species of snappers, yellow jacks and more.  What a great trip!

Honeymoon bonefish February 17, 2023

Jim and his wife are from Wyoming, a state I am eager to visit.  This trip was his new wifes gift to Jim as they were on their honeymoon. Long story short, these were great people and we had a great time with Jim catching a few bonefish on his first bonefish trip ever.  Nice!
