November 24, 2015 Report (Video!)

This past spring James his son Jack and his daughter Ryan had booked me for some tarpon fishing and they were able to tag team a big tarpon during our trip. Being back in town on vacation James booked me again but this time it was just him and his son Jack. The plan was to go catch whatever would provide the most action and my eyes were set on a nearby flat that has been producing really solid action. Our one obstacle was a steady 20 mile an hour wind that was keeping the water chopped up and making casting difficult courtesy of a fold front the day before. As we arrived the action was immediate steady and non stop for the duration of our four hour trip. We were catching big lady fish, bluefish, trout and spinner sharks. At one point as we were setting up another drift I saw bait being busted and made a quick hundred yard run in front of the school. I shutdown the motor, instructed them to cast towards the school of fleeing bait fish and the hookups were immediate and constant. There were times where they would hook up immediately and big lady fish would jump, spit the hook, land in the water only to be gobbled up by another lady fish or blue fish. Mixed in there also spinner shark and a look at this video will provide an incredible site in the last frame of the video. We had a blast, caught a ton of fish and put some significant wear and tear on brand new lures I had just tied on that morning. This is what it's all about after a cold front in Miami!

It's William's 10th birthday and his family decided to bring him to Miami for a fishing trip and a Heat basketball game. With that in mind, Will and his dad Nick climbed aboard for a short morning trip to get William on some fish and ensure a good birthday. A short 5 minute run later I shut off the motor and handed them a rod each. A few casts later Nick hooks up to a nice ladyfish and the steady stream began. Will caught a number of high flying, drag sizzling ladyfish, a trout and a couple other species. At the end of the trip he was mentioning how his hand was hurting from all the fish he caught. Mission accomplished and happy birthday Will!

November 19, 2015 Report (Fly fishing)

Having taken a few days off to have my boat trailer worked on I was eager to get back on the water and Jason from Montana jumped on board this morning. Today was a bit breezier than expected so we had to adjust to the conditions in order to have Jason fly fish but adjust we did. We only had to fish two spots this morning with the first spot having some tarpon around but unable to get one to eat. Spot two was out in the open wind and made fly casting difficult so Jason saved that for last. Using artificial lures fishing was solid with a lot of action and bent rods. Towards the end Jason picked up the fly rod and was able to land his first fish on fly. We ended the day with a hot streak of fish on almost every cast and as I always say "what a great way to end the day on Biscayne Bay"!

Today Mike was on board again and this time he brought his boss Rahul but the conditions were vastly different. Today we had overcast skies, threatening storms, 20 to 25 mile an hour winds. Under these conditions there were only a few places that we could fish comfortably in that wind and unfortunately all three spots yielded little. While we did catch fish, today was a shadow of yesterday's red hot fishing action. Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

On a business trip from Virginia, Mike booked for a late morning trip to target bonefish but the weather didn't cooperate for bonefishing. Last night when we spoke the trip was up in the air as the forecast was calling for 20 mile an hour winds and lots of rain but it turned out we had surprisingly good weather for the first part of the trip. The short run to our first spot, and our only spot of the trip, produced constant action on spinner shark, ladyfish, quite a few trout, and constant bent rods and screaming drags. We tried to stay close to the marina as we could see some threatening weather building and eventually we had to get off the water and run back before the more intense parts of the storm hit us. It was a short but intense trip and tomorrow we're taking out his boss. No pressure!

Charles is a state law enforcement officer from North Carolina and was down with his wife and little girl for a conference for his wife. Having spent the entire week taking care of his 18 month old little girl, today was the day he would take a break from the grueling job of playing mother. He jumped aboard with his father in law Robert and within a few minutes we were into a bunch of tarpon. Unfortunately they had lock jaw. Moving on we got into hot fishing with a few doubleheaders thrown into the mix. Throwing lures we had almost non-stop action on spinner shark, bluefish, snapper, sea trout, lady fish, and a few other species. When the tide turned we decided to fish a few other spots that produced a few big mackerel and saw a bunch more that wouldn't hit our lures. This gets me excited as mackerel are becoming more and more present in Biscayne Bay as we draw nearer towards the end of November. These are two great guys that caught a lot of fish and we had a blast. My hat's off to Charles for being an excellent father!

November 12, 2015 Report

Today's charter was a full day trip out of the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo. With Bill and Don jumping aboard we began our search for the elusive Biscayne Bay red fish and some bonefish action. We had some great conditions and in spite of our efforts didn't find either as overall fishing was slow today. We changed it up and fished a few different spots that produced some big mangrove snapper and a few other species. We ended the day fishing a spot I like close to Bill's house on Ocean Reef Club that holds big mangrove snappers and landed a few there. Capt.
