I was really trying to take Sunday off to get some rest and avoid the weekend craziness but Eric called looking to take his daughter Emily fishing and it was hard to say no.  OK we meet up at 7am and head out to a finger channel that has been r

February has been a crazy month with few days off right before Valentine's Day.  I wrapped up my month fishing with Ward out of the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo.  I picked him up and he wanted to try fly fishing for bonefish and tarpon

I had repeat client Chris and he was ready for some fishing action.  We looked for tarpon and then switched off to just catching fish.  I tried for snook and Chris caught a jack instead and well it was game on with an assortment of species

This week I've been dealing with cold and windy conditions.  The average night time temperature has been 48 degrees and it's been blowing about 20 MPH.  Yes tough conditions but the fish have to eat and clients want to fish so here

Clarke turned 10 years old today and he was with his mom Nicole and sister Grace.  I have to tell you this was a great family and they were awesome to spend time with.  Once again I took them to one spot a shallow wreck and never had to mo

Last trip with Jeff Will and Drew out of a three day trip today.  Taking advantage of the tide we looked for permit but they were MIA as were the bonefish.  Hmm Drew usually catches bonefish with me but we've struck out the last two ti

My oh my this January has been a cold one but we've been able to get on the water almost every day and get some fish to the boat. Sure it took five layers for me to stay warm but the fish didn't care my clients were tough and we had a blast

They're back in town and back in the boat.  Jeff and his boys Drew the fishing maniac and Will jumped in and off we went.  We tried permit fishing but that was slow.  We tried tarpon fishing off the beach but the wind picked up pr

Work came to a halt over the weekend thanks to steady 30 MPH winds but they laid down on Monday so I Alec and I went ahead with our scheduled trip.  We looked for tarpion and found a few resident fish but no go.  In the process Alec caught

 I had the pleasure of fishing with David for two days for his first time fishing in Miami/Biscayne Bay.  Since we had two days to work with we mixed it up.  On the first day we had perfect November conditions with clear skies cool we

Welcome back everyone!  Well the second half of April wasn't great as it usually is which was a surprise.  Yeah we caught fish and made it work but it wasn't easy to make each day productive.  So far the last two weeks of Apri

This past week the theme has been BURRR!  It's been cold with this last week bringing over night temps in the mid to high 40's. That's really cold for Miami and it has been bone chilling for a Miami native like me but we have to fis

Craig jumped on board today for permit and bonefishing with a steady 20 MPH wind and dirty water.  Man it's been tough conditions but it has worked out and I was hoping for the same for Craig.  I set up in an area that has been on fire

The month of August always allows me to take a breather from an otherwise really busy season and while many don't travel this time of year it is actually a solid month to fish Miami.  I ended the month of August mixing it up fishing for sno

That's what Bruce had told me when he jumped aboard with his son.  I made sure we start early for two reasons 1: the best bite has been on the outgoing tide and 2: we need to beat the heat and avoid the 91 degree water temps we have been se

All the way from frosty Chicago came Jeff and Drew.  This father son duo are so much fun to fish with and Drew is a fishing junkie.  We usually fish several times a year and they were in town for spring break and Drew wanted tarpon. 

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

I love fishing with Alec and he brought his friend Mark along again.  This time we decided to skip fishing Biscayne Bay and fish in the Everglades.  Right off the bat Alec caught a nice snook on a lure and then Mark caught a trout lost a s

April-May is my favorite time of the year in the Florida Keys. One of the many reasons has to do with what I feel is the most exciting species to pursue: Permit. Members of the jack family permit (Trachinotus falcatusare) are one of the most sought

All right finally the worst of the weather for this month was largely over and December 18 was the last day of the High winds and rain. The last two weeks of the December have been really really good with just about anything we want to catch being c
