Biscayne Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
The past couple of weeks the fishing been tough do to the weather conditions. We were seeing winds up to 30 mph with a consistent 15 to 25 with overcast. This makes it tough when you're trying to sight-fish for bonefish. There were some days that I even had to cancel or reschedule of how bad it was last week. The days we did make it out were ok. I fished with customer Bob Pet and managed a 9.5 lbs bonefish on spinning tackle during a half day trip while it was overcast and blowing 20 mph. Other day's I did allot of chumming for bonefish because there was no way we were going to sight fish for them. We also caught other species such as lemon sharks, barracudas, Spanish mackerel.
The early part of this week was looking promising. The winds were lying down and the sun was out. I fished Flamingo most of this week with plenty of snook and redfish and trout around. I've been using mainly artificial or flies and occasionally shrimp tipped jig. Yesterday we had a stellar day with 14 snook and 8 redfish all on artificial and all the trout you want.
I had a day off on Wednesday and went scouting for tarpon out here in Biscayne Bay and started to see some migrating fish on the ocean side starting to move through. If it stays warm with no more cold fronts and 30 not winds we should see an early migration.
Now is the time to start booking days for tarpon season if you want to take a shot at a fish of a life time.
