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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I had Pat and Pat today who don't usually fish much but wanted to hang out and spend some father/son time.  I took them to a tarpon spot where they were hanging out but just hanging out we didn't get any bites in the short time we fishe

No time off and no time to celebrate Easter in the traditional way going to church but I was giving thanks for all the blessings in my life while fishing with two great guys in the Everglades today.  I had Adam and his friend Larry for a full d

Ok it's official I'm tired!  This month I had two days off all month and most of it has been fishing in the cold.  We have had back to back to back cold fronts and most days this month I have woken up to 45-51 degree mornings.

I had a full day with great long time and local client Chris with his grand daughter Nicole and her boyfriend Carlos.  These are such great people and I was looking forward to fishing with them.  We started off with zero wind and lots of s
