And the snook keep coming December 30, 2020

 It's been non-stop charters as the season finally kicks into high gear.  I had another double today starting with Kevin and his 10 year old son and they are both good fishermen.  They broke the ice with each catching snook, jacks, mutton snapper, and a few more lost snook.  That was the only spot we needed to fish as kit was hot fishing and the wind kept getting worst, cranking up to a steady 25 MPH with higher gusts.  

In the afternoon I took out Avi and 5 ear old fishing fanatic, Shim.  I love father son trips and this was one of them.  I took them to a spot out of the nasty wind and Shim caught a bunch of small jacks, blue runners and lane snappers that were perfect sized for him and he left so happy that he caught a ton of fish.  That's what it's all about.

Two for Tuesday December 29, 2020

 Two trips this morning and the wind was getting worst.  Well, gotta work and gotta be up for the challenge.  So, my morning trip was with regular client Gonzalve and his now 7 year old awesome Sebastian.  I love Sebastian, he is a great little fisherman and is as tough as nails.  He proved that by working the lure, hooking, fighting and landing his first snook.  Wow!  After we caught a few snook, some jacks and other stuff it was time to move on and catch dinner.  In the finger channels they tore it up again with non stop action on a bunch of species, taking home a half dozen fish for dinner.  Our last stop Gonzalve caught another snook and they finished off on a high note. 

After dropping them off I picked up Mike and Emiel and headed off to the finger channels again and that is the only spot we fished as they were on constant action to the point they had to take a break due to sore arms.  I love that!

Still cold... December 28, 2020

 Regular client Brad was on board today so off we went and fished for snook at first light.  Well, the snook weren't there although there were a few "snook like" bites we missed.  Brad did catch a few species before we moved on.  Moving on to the finger channels Brad caught yellow jacks, jack crevalles, porgies and a few snappers before I ran way south to try for bonefish on fly.  The bonefish were definitely not friendly today as Brad had to blind cast in order to overcome the cloud cover.  With no go and time to head back I asked to throw the fly a bit to try his GLoomis fly rod, and wouldn't you know it, a bonefish smacked the fly!  Thankfully I missed the take and handed the rod back to Brad.  Guide rule number 2, never outfish a client!

These Women Rock! December 27, 2020

 I had the pleasure of fishing with locals Elisa and Maria.  As has been the case lately, the morning started cold but warmed up a bit throughout the day but.  Maria definitely had the hot hand today catching everything that swam near the boat including big snook and more.  After the snook, we fished the finger channels and that is where Elisa started to shine as the girls kept the rods bent on about 8 different species that made the drags sing.  They caught big porgies, yellow jacks, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, big blue runners, jack crevales and a few others I can't recall right now, I'm getting old.  Way to go ladies!

Post Christmas Snook Fest! December 26, 2020

 After two days off I was back to work with David and his friend Brian on a chilly 47 degree morning.  Although they were up for anything I wanted to focus on creeks and snook.  Using lures Brian quickly hooked and lost a big snook on his first cast.  Then, it was all craziness from then on.  The total tally was a dozen snook released, lost a few and missed quite a few bites in between.  Afterwards we missed the bite on a bonefish and called it a day.  This was a good day!

12 Year old vs Snook December 23, 2020

 I had Steve and Drew on board for the second year and Steve just wanted Drew to catch fish.  So, we hit a spot that had been producing snook and well, Drew got his snook that gave him a great fight.  The best part is that Drew worked the lure, hooked and landed the fish on his own.  Very cool!  We wrapped up the trip catching dinner and losing two monster fish that may have been groupers or giant snapper.  Ouch!  Congrats Drew!

Today was not one of the fun days December 22, 2020

 I had Rocco and his two teenage kids from Toronto onboard.  The goal was to bonefish on fly and we started off with a couple of spots we could fish in the lee of some breeze.  However, it was time to move and change location so we crossed Biscayne Bay to fish the oceanside flats.  BUT, as we were crossing the wind cranked up to about 20 MPH and made for a tough crossing midway.  The bonefishing proved slow but the wind calmed to about 15 MPH so we fished a few wrecks for some action and while we did have some fun they were not as stellar as they have been.
