I took a few days off and was back to work today with local angler Henry and his friend Mike from S.C. and they wanted to fish the flats.  Well with perfect conditions fishing the flats means bonefish!  I started off fishing a point I like with the outgoing tide but the bones were MIA.  Hmmm that's weird.  OK on to the next flat and that was the t...

Paul grew up across the street from me growing up his brother Bobby was actually my best man at my wedding. Its been 40 or so years since we have seen each other. They caught Snook Trout...

Today I had two trips and I can tell you I was not looking forward to it not because of the clients but because of the crazy boat traffic.  Well I launched the boat in the early morning craziness and long time clients Raja and Emily jumped aboard and left the insanity behind.  With fly rods in hand they had plenty of shots at bonefish as they crui...

Lem he can catch fish and this was our first time fishing together.  Over the course of three days the fishing kept improving slightly and we had great conversations and lots of laughs.  Lem sight casted a huge yellow jack on a bonefish flat then a big jack crevalle that got eaten by a 12' hammerhead shark just 20 feet from the boat on the flats a...

Local clients Maria and Elissa booked me for a half day after almost a year of them working way too much.  They always like to fish for dinner trade fish for mangos with their neighbor.  LOL  The first few spots proved slow with smaller snappers but the last two spots were the ticket and they took home several tasty yellow jacks for dinner.   Capt...

Flipping corn cob mullets to drift over a ledge produced several nice Snook up to 32". Also a few barracuda were caught and released.

Kristin had contacted me a month ago and pre paid for her husband Telby's charter as a birthday gift.  After a few reschedules due to weather today was the day.  Telby wanted to fly fish for bonefish so off we went.  The first spot was the Telby landing four bonefish right off the bat within the first couple of hours and at one point he was hookin...

Man I was really looking forward to redemption with Tom as the first trip was rough.  Well today was better.  I made a long run to almost Key Largo in order to change the scenery.  We started off looking for tarpon on the oceanside flats and fished a few flats but the tarpon were MIA.  There were a few other skiffs working as well and I never saw...

050223 I had 2 good days at Flamingo this week and then headed to Key largo for a couple days. I fished with long time customers and friends Bob and Charlie Tuesday. There weren’t many people around. We started out with a Trout bite in Coot Bay and then worked our way north. Had a few Snook bites in Whitewater Bay along with some more Trout. I wen...

Larissa booked me at the last minute in order to get her 12 year old son Sascha out on the water.  They were great and Sascha wanted to catch everything so we focused on shark and he landed a nice bonnet head shark.  With the action dying off and only catching small snappers we decided to go for broke and get him a bonefish.  Well the bonefish kin...

It was a day of tug of war fishing in Key Largo with the boys from Texas in some rough conditions but the @seahunterboats Floridian lived up to its moto Go anywhere and Do anything! We went from 2 feet of water catching baits to 300 feet pulling on some big #amberjack and all over […] The post Tug of War Fishing Today! first appeared on Ankle Deep...

Man this early morning high tide is killing me.  It's been scattering the fish and making them tough to talk into eating a fly but Tom was aboard today we gave it a full day.  I ran all over creation today with few shots and no fish hooked.  The target species was bonefish and we drew a blank. That's it not much else to say.   Capt. Mo Estevez htt...

My morning trip was with Steve again and it was a repeat of yesterday but with fewer shots at permit and more opportunities at bonefish although it was slim pickings.  This early morning high tide has been rough!  Steve missed a bonefish take and we saw a few flashing and coming to close to the boat but boy were they tough to convince this morning...

My morning trip was with repeat client Steve and Steve can fish and he can throw a fly.  We started the morning looking for permit on fly with unusually high water but there was zero wind.  These conditions made it possible to see schools of permit cruising and tailing with Steve getting a few good shots at them but permit will be permit.  We chan...

One of my favorite springtime species is the amberjack. They …

Fernando was referred to me by a client I fished with over 5 years ago.  Wow that was cool!  So the goal was fly fishing and Fernando shook off the rust pretty early on and landed a few bonefish within the first few hours of our full day trip.  As the tide changed we ran south looking for migrating mullet muds in order to throw flies at a number o...

Jeff had originally booked me for two boats but the guys on the second boat couldn't make it so it was just me with Jeff and his friend.  Thankfully Jeff was cool enough to give me plenty of heads up so the other guide could fill that day.  Anyway off we went and fished for bonefish where he landed a nice bonefish but the fishing was definitely sl...

Well folks I have to admit November weather has been highly disappointing. As I've mentioned before November weather is usually absolutely perfect but so far this month it's been pretty tough with high winds cloud cover and all around difficult conditions. In spite of the tough conditions fishing remains pretty solid and most of my fishing has con...
