Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
101808
Today I am fishing N. Biscayne Bay With Mitch from Biscayne rods, we started early before the sun came up hoping for a Tarpon bite. The Tarpon were slow to show up but eventually they made an appearance. We didn't have any live bait so we were using Rapala Twitch N Raps which catch there share of fish. We cast at the Tarpon until 10 o'clock and then went looking for bait in the canals. I had a big pod of mullet, when I threw my net I noticed about 10 big Snook laying on the edge of the canal. Unfortunately they disappeared but it was great to see them in the day time, this just don't happen everyday in Biscayne Bay, but I will remember where they were! Once we found the bait we found big Jack Crevalles chasing the mullet schools. The mullets schools are not as thick as they had been the few weeks prior but find the bait schools and find the Tarpon, thats what we did and caught one out of 4 Tarpon. The fresh water was being pumped out of the Miami Shores and Bell Meade canals, the area around 79 St boat ramp was completely fresh, which explained the lack of a Trout bite on the west side. We ran out of the inlet and down the beaches looking for mullet schools but they were non existent today. We ran back inside and attempted to chum up some fish with a live well full of pilchards, with the extreme high tides and heat of the day it was over so we made our way back to the ramp and headed home.
