The last few days I've been booked for a wide variety of trips everything from bonefish on fly to just catching whatever is biting.  Fishing with local client Alec on Monday we focused on snook and sharks and it was generally slow with the

My morning trip was with Steve and his friend and they just wanted to catch whatever was the best bet.  Best bet has been fishing the finger channels so I took them to one and bounced jigs with shrimp.  Pretty easy stuff and you never know

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

Alex and his brother Bombino booked me again today for some food fishing.  Step one was to look for schools of pilchards (bait) that I could cast net and then hit some spots for snappers grouper and other tasty species.  But the first step

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

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

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

This week I fished with long time regular client Mike squeezed in another long time client Maria right after a long day on the water with Mike and fished both Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park.  I'll summarize because ther

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

It's been a good month with excellent fishing and then a nice long vacation before my season gets cranking and I have no time off.  So far this second half of the month there have been small tarpon willing to eat flies bonefishing has been

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

Chester and I have fished plenty before and he brought his friend Mike along this time and man I was really hoping for a decent day because it has been tough.  The morning started with us looking for small tarpon to catch on top water lures.&nb

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

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

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

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

Wow November has not been like it typically is. Usually November we have absolutely perfect weather conditions but this November we have been beat up by some high winds. There were a few days where I was fishing in 25 to almost 30 mile an hour winds

I had Jackson for a full day of bonefishing on fly.  We started off hot with Jackson landing a nice bonefish on the 3rd cast of the trip.  Wow!  Not longer after he got another one but this one ate the fly while it was sinking. 

Man this all really worked out perfectly!  Nick had booked me for Wednesday to try for the second time to catch a bonefish on fly.  Last time we fished he had some shots but it didn't work out.  Now I'm staring at the forecast
