What a ball today! Michael, Nicole and Scott were on board today and we had a blast! Conditions were less than favorable with 25-27 MPH NE winds and cloudy, stormy skies but plenty of fish were caught. We started by catching trout on artificial lures along with mangrove snapper and hard pulling jacks. Once the fishing slowed we headed towards the protected creeks and caught more snappers and look downs. We also lost a few nice fish to the rocks below. They kept me laughing and the rough, raining ride back was made better by their stories. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

What a difference today! No wind and smooth water, I love it! I fished with a good client of mine, David and his friend Joe from Canada. We started by looking for bonefish and permit but the few schools we saw were too far to reach and were swimming away. With a desire to catch fish we targeted tout and had a blast. David and Joe caught numerous trout on artificial lures and with a brief window of sunlight, we were sight casting trout! On the way in we decided to look for bones again and found about six schools and had a few shots but no hook ups. In the afternoon I had the pleasure of fishing with retired military Mike. The trout fishing slowed down but we focused our attention on the oceanside finger channels and caught numerous mangrove snappers including a BIG 5lb mangrove and a 3lb mangrove snapper on live shrimp.

Bonefishing was on the agenda today with Alan and his son Jerry. Tried as we may though, no bonefish were caught. We were dealing with high winds and rain but did release a mutton snapper and sharks that peeled line like a bonefish. The day ended in a creek where we lost a big hit on one of the rods. Capt.

This morning Hugh and Jordan from Australia were on board. While the bonefishing was very slow, we did go to a favorite creek of mine and had a blast on grouper, bar jacks, snappers and some monsters were couldn't keep out of the rocks. Hugh ended the trip by fighting a big bar jack on 8lb test that gave him quite a work out! In the afternoon I fish with Paul from Atlanta and his two kids Kate and Jack in some rater windy conditions. Paul caught a trout on the first cast and we missed a few hits. The day ended with Jack and Kate releasing dozens of fish and having a big tarpon free jump just feet from the boat! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

What an ordeal Chris had to experience today just to get to the boat ramp but he made it after a 3 hour delay and I wanted to make sure we accomplished our goal, his first bonefish. With 20MPH east winds and storm clouds overhead we pressed on with our half day trip. Arriving at our first flat was all it took. A few minutes after setting up the rod doubles over and the drag screams. Well, it was an angry shark not a bonefish. The next bent rod was different and a few long strong runs later, silver flashed before our eyes and into our landing net. Mission accomplished! What a thrill for me to lead clients to their first catches and today was exceptional. Congrats Chris! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

What a gorgeous day we had today. Ahead of an approaching cold front, Peter, Bridgett and Hyung experienced slick calm conditions all day and clear skies. What a difference from yesterday! We started bonefishing and had shots at several schools but no hook ups. Moving to the oceanside flats, they tag teamed landing a nice bonnet head shark and a nice bonefish moved in but ignored our offering. The day ended at a creek with a swarm of fun snappers a few feet away bending rods almost the instant their shrimp landed in the water. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com

Dean from Texas climbed aboard today for some rod bending action on Biscayne Bay. We started under partly sunny skies and a steady 20-23 MPH wind. We sought shelter from the wind all day and did well with only a couple of spots not producing. The morning started with a trout on the first cast and the action continued steady all morning. The highlight was a tarpon in the 70lb class engulfing Dean's plastic shrimp and giving us two awesome jumps before spitting the hook!! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com
