April 26, 2016 Report (Bonefish.Video!)

Day two with Sebastian from Spain and he wanted tarpon and bonefish on fly.   Today there were no tarpon around so we focused on the bonefish flats.   It was certainly slow but we kept working hard.  At our last spot we found a ton of feeding,  mudding bonefish and after a bunch of shots Sebastian got his bonefish on fly.  It feels so good to score!

Taking Sunday off, Monday morning Sebastian and Fabiano boarded my skiff for a full day off fly fishing.   Just about every type of fishing was slow during the incoming tide.  The tarpon were around by not eating,  the trout were shut down and other areas were slow,  but not for long.  Getting to the bonefish flats at the beginning of the outgoing tide the fishing came to life.   The guys had a bunch of shots at cruising bones and mudding bones.  Unfortunately things didn't come together and didn't hook any.   We'll be back tomorrow!

Danny stayed in the hotel today while Glenn and I hit the bay for an assortment of fishing opportunities.   Fishing trout flats first we caught a bunch of snapper,  trout,  barracuda and ladyfish.  With the sun angle improving we hit the bonefish flats and had shots at a bunch of schools.  One school moved through, Glenn made a great cast and the bonefish started looking for his shrimp.  Unfortunately a stupid box fish got to the shrimp first.  Urgh!  With the wind dying off the flats got slick calm and at the bottom of the tide we ended the day taking shots at tailing bonefish in supper skinny water.

I have been looking forward to this day for quite a while since Glenn is a great guy and we used to fish together pretty often but work has kept him busy back home in New York. He jumped aboard with his 12 year old son Danny and off we went for a full day of fishing in Biscayne Bay. The goal was to catch some fish but primarily catch Danny a shark so off we went caughting seatrout and a few other species before turning our attention to shark fishing. I couldn't help but start the morning off with some tarpon fishing but that proved to be slow so that was scratched after about an hour or two. Danny remained engaged and patient as we worked throughout the morning but at the 4 hour more we decided to go for Danny's shark. Spot number one proved slow but shark spot number 2 proved to be the ticket. Shortly after setting up the Sharks started to move in with Danny landing about a 3 foot shark that was too small by his standard. :-) Shark number 2 proved to be the ticket as a 6-foot plus lemon short doubled the rod and raced across the flat getting deep into the bottom of the spool before I was able to chase him down with the motor. After a brutal 30 to 40 minute fight Danny got his shark leaving him absolutely exhausted but with a big smile and sense of accomplishment. This is what it's all about!

Today was day 2 of the guys fishing trip out of Ocean Reef Club and I was absolutely desperate to redeem myself from yesterday. John (a different John) and Mitch jumped aboard and we had even nicer conditions today but the wind was definitely blowing hard out of the east. We poled for Bonefish and found a few fish waking in the distance but not close enough to get a shot. We decided to shark fish instead and that was the ticket. Tucking into a point of the leeward side shoreline that I really like for shark fishing we staked out and had a blast as we had tons and tons of sharks moving through and we were sight casting to them. A lot of them where acting rather crazy as they would come right up to the bait 20 feet from the boat bite it and spit it out within seconds. Really bizarre! However we did land several nice sharks and boy dose it feel good to hear the drag scream  and watch my guys in for a nice fight.

Today was day one of two days fishing out of the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo for a guy's fishing trip for a group of 6 guys.   John and John are both pharmacist from Missouri and jumped a board to do some fishing in beautiful North Key Largo. We had really nice conditions but today was one of those days I would like to forget. We worked and fished hard for 4 hours doing everything from bone fishing to shark fishing and fishing for snapper and all we could manage was losing one decent fish to the bottom and one small snapper. What a tough day! Capt. Mo Estevez www.MiamiBoneFishing.com 786-853-1409 Follow me on Instagram @MiamiBoneFishing

It was pretty windy when Brett and his girlfriend jumped aboard this morning but conditions were definitely fishable. We started off looking for Tarpon and while we found a few rollers we did not get any bites so we quickly moved on. We decided to run down to the flats to do some shark fishing as it was definitely too windy to pole for Bonefish and permit. Having caught a few fish to use for bait and chum, we set up and waited. It took a little bit longer than I would have liked but eventually the sharks started to move in and when all was said and done,  Brett got a nice shark to the boat.
