Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
101211
I am with Sam Rose this morning he has his friend Peter over from England. We started out in Government Cut drifting mullet through the Tarpon rolling on the south side, we only had one bite so I decided to run back into the bay. Peter had only fished twice in his life so Sam wanted to bend the rods some. The mullet schools were getting busted up by Jacks, Ladyfish, Bluefish and Trout and we caught them for close to 2 hours straight. Sam had the fish of the morning, a really nice 25 inch 5 1/2 lb. Trout. On every cast we tripled up and by the end of the day Peter could cast and work a lure pretty good. Not only was he catching his own but I handed every one I hooked. It got hot and they needed some A.C., lunch and probably a nap, both are elderly and know their limits.

I am with Mark this afternoon, he wanted to catch fish that pull. The species don't matter and if he can eat it, its even better. I took him to the mullet schools and he impressed me right away with his ability. We caught Jacks and Bluefish, there were just to many of them to miss. I hit some of the local canals and there was allot of fresh water still pumping out from the rains this week. I ran to the inlet and was hoping for an afternoon bite, we are coming off the full moon with giant tides. I chummed with pilchards and couldn't get the Snook up but managed a few Jacks. We noticed the birds diving just outside of us so we ran out and caught some Mackerels. We sat outside of the inlet and pitched live mullet and chummed with pilchards for a big school of Tarpon that were rolling. I was getting impatient the tide just switched and something should be eating. We moved inside to the bridge and that's where it happened, 4 bites in a row. We had a nice Tarpon in the air and Mark capped it of with a 36 inch Snook. He said it was his biggest. The bite slowed a bit so we called it a night agreeing we were hungry.
This weekend we are going to get another hard N.E.wind flow, this will bring the rest of the mullet schools down from the Palm Beaches. The positive on this, next week there should be some serious baits on the beaches in Dade County and full of Tarpon Snook and some other quality fish. Ill hoping to be there let me know if you would like t give it a try.
