The fishing is really good considering the heat index is 110 every day and the business side is slow. Flamingo Snook bite continues to be fun! Hurricane Debbie blew really hard just off the S.W. coast but the watercolor was really clean for last weekend FFT tournament. Plenty of Snook Tarpon and Redfish were caught the Trout were tough to find kee...

Tarpon hooked by James Kang on NLBN “SHEESH'“! The fishing is very dependable right now. I’m finding small Tarpon and lots of Snook to start my mornings.

The first week of July was off to a hot start. The first week I was fishing with repeat client Ron and we fished in Biscayne Bay and Everglades National Park.  Ron had never fished the Everglades before and after we did so on day two he wanted to come back every day after that.  Admittedly the fishing was not on fire but we caught fish and Ron had...

The second half of June had some tough conditions that kept me at home and rescheduling trips thanks to 7 days of constant rain we had move across the area.  But I was able to sneak in a few trips and the first one was with Bob armed with a fly rod.  I took Bob to an area out of the wind and we were able to find some schools of bonefish moving t...

This is the 3rd week of June 2024. The rain we had for the last 2 weeks has the Snook bite on fire. This happens every June we get tons of water pushing out to Fl. Bay and the Snook love it.

What a way to end the month but it was not all good news at first.  My Saturday charter was with regular local client Barry and we were fishing out of Key Biscayne on Memorial Day weekend.  Not good.  But he was there for a few nights and couldn't drive south so the plan was to meet him there and well that's when things went sideways.  With HUGE a...
