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

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

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

What an incredible first half of March we have had.  Things have been moving a bit quicker than normal and I attribute to the warmer than normal February we've had.  The big surprise has been the sheer number of permit around a little

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

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

 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

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. 

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

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

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

I could not have two better guys on board for three days.  Matt and Mo are from Martha's Vineyard and they can fish and throw a fly.  We had three perfect May days as May should be and the fishing was red hot.  We focused on bonef

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

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

Dave Dave Dave you need to find something else to do.  Dave is from N.C. and was passing through South Florida on his way out of the Keys when he booked a bonefish trip for today.  He told me he never bonefished before and all his fishing

I fish with Paul every year and so he was back again today.  Boy did I look high and low for bait but there was no bait.  Thankfully I had a back up but after checking the lsat bait spot I noticed they were holding deep in the bay too deep

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

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 sn
