This week was a mixed bag of bonefishing and just bending rods and having a good time. My week started off with Victor and his wife from Ukraine and the goal was to catch a few fish for dinner which we quickly did catching fun yellow jacks and tasty snappers. Then we switched off and fished the flats for sharks where we hooked up three or four sha...

I've been so swamped with charters that's it's been hard to update my reports page one trip at a time so I'll update for the week instead.  The week of November 8-11 we focused mostly on bonefish and permit and it worked out most of the time for bonefish but the permit were inconsistent early mornings.   on November 8th I had Charles and his wife...

The weather from my last trip finally broke and was replaced by perfect November conditions.  Thankfully I had Rob from Boston who brought his fly rod and wanted to target bonefish and permit.  Conditions were way off for permit so we focused on bonefish.  The first spot was dead and I started to get a bit anxious hoping it would be a good day.  S...

What a start and not for the good as I fished today with two awesome guys Stephen and Rob.  They wanted to fish for bonefish but there was constant drizzle and the sky was a thick grey.  We took off and fished a spot I like and my hopes were up as we had the perfect tide and it was out of the increasing 15 MPH wind.  Ha what do I know!  This spot...

The past few weeks have proven to be exciting times for fishing enthusiasts in South Florida. Despite windy weather and choppy seas our charter fishing has been outstandingly fruitful. Why?

The last week and a half have been a bit tough on the water due to unusually high winds in the 20-25 MPH range and huge tides.  The bulk of what I was booked for was just catching fish so we did just that but we had to pick our spots due to the wind.  The tides were almost well over two feet above normal due to the king tide plus an hard east wind...

The past week or so the weather has changed. We have had hard NE winds which pushed the mullet through Biscayne Bay. I got out with my son James on a cool morning and had for the fish to wake up. We found some Snook on a sea wall chasing mullet lucky we had NLBN lures rigged up. It didn’t take long and James was hooked up. It was a great fight but...

I had Barry again today and we started off fishing for small tarpon but didn't hook any of them.  Actually we barely saw any of them go figure!  Fishing a creek we did find snook where Barry landed one but lost three others when the snook would jump and spit the hook.  A few other times Barry had snook hit the lure right next to the boat and we co...

Here we go my favorite time of year and right before I took off on vacation I was pretty busy already with god groups and great fishing.  The trips ranged from a guy's drinking trip with fishing rods to hunting down bonefish and permit.  The fishing has been solid the first week of October with the following going on: Out of The Ocean Reef Club my...

Finally the winds have calmed down and it’s back to deep-sea fishing off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. Today we had Kolton and 4 of his best friends down from Michigan to celebrate Kolton’s birthday! Everyone got to the boat this morning a little disappointed due to the Detroit Lions losing to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night football. A few beer...
