Um yeah I don't know what to say right now.  I had Ted back on the skiff this morning and thought the pattern of slow fishing in the AM and then a big push of fish the afternoon would repeat itself.  I was wrong I like being wrong some

Boy oh boy did I get my wish.  Over the summer I wanted a nice cold winter well I got it!  We got a second cold front that dropped the air temperature into the high 30's to the point where one morning on my way to work we had frost on

Abaco Island offers a wide range of bonefishing options from the very northern tip near Treasure Cay all the way south to Sandy Point. Anglers can experience Abaco by going to one of the fishing specific lodges on the island … Continue reading

It was great fishing with George again and we got to fish a full day today a rare thing since he usually fishes 4 hours with his little boys.  I could tell the fishing was improving and as we bounced from spot to spot things were looking better

Wow Tony sure put pressure on himself and me as he and his two boys Liam and Evan were REALLY looking forward to catching their first bonefish.  When he first called me to book the trip he told me they wanted to fish for bonefish and catch a lo

I was looking forward to a great day on the water with Ted from St. Louis as we targeted bonefish and snook on fly and spin. However Biscayne Bay had other ideas.  The forecast called for 20 plus MPH winds but the first half of the trip was nic

Another two trips today out of Key Biscayne and I had Lenny and Bri as my morning clients.  Lenny is the son of a long time client of mine but we hadn't fished together before until today.  They were both great with Lenny not fishing o

I had Fax on board today and he brought his friend along oh and his fly rod too.  He kept mixing it up between fly and spin but I have to admit something odd happened today.  For some bizzare reason the bones today much preferred flies to

I was looking forward to fishing with long time client Maria and throwing a fly with her.  We started off focusing on bonefish and 5 minutes into the trip she hooked and landed a tiny 10 bonefish so cute and a great sign of the health of our bo

Well so far May has been off to a bipolar start. The first week of the month was a grind with a lot of wind and we had to work hard for every fish we caught. However this second week of May has been exactly what may should be with low winds clear sk

After yesterday's bonefish insanity I was holding my breath hoping it would continue for first time client Robert.  We were working with fly gear again today and the first flat was slow with one subtle take and a miss the second flat was de

It's incredible to me how the inshore fishery in Biscayne Bay has changed.  In past January's I'd be cast netting bait and primarily fishing for mackerel bluefish mutton snappers grouper tarpon and other species with a high degree o

How does that even happen?  Well it starts with Dan and Bryce jumping aboard and then all hell breaking loose on the day we were fishing.  We got 2 hours in before storms and lighting ran us off the water but not before Bryce got a solid 1

Over the last few days there hasn't been much to report other than unusually slow fishing and some weird weather.  On Saturday the 8th regular client Paul and his boys were with for in the morning for shark fishing and we lost one shark.&nb

I had Leif and Nicole for two days fly fishing for bonefish and tarpon.  The first day we focused on bonefish and that was a bust.  All the flats had zero life on them no bonefish permit sharks stingrays and barracudas all the usual suspec

Alec was on board today and we are more friends than client/guide and we fish together a lot and for a long time and therefore there is forgiveness when there's a slow day because boy was that needed today.  The forecast was correct with 20

I have to admit May was good but not on fire as the month of May should be.  But I also recognize I am part of the problem.  Well let me explain.  While we did have 2-3 slow days towards the last week of May due largely to the new moo

In this video Simon ties a killer attractor flats fly. This fly would work great anywhere in the caribbean for Bonefish Permit and anything else cruising the flats. It is tied using Hareline’s new painted brass eyes. The tan painted … Con

As I always point out I have to be ready for the two extremes in my line of work and the last two days were a good example.  Saturday I fished with Syd and his two grandkids Charlie and Alan 9 and 11 years old.  The goal was to get them on

Two trips today once again.  the morning trip was with Vic and Billy.  They reminded me the last time we fished they only caught a flounder.  Oh tough day that day.  Well I wanted to make it up on this trip and they were up for b
