Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
110907
I am fishing with John today in south Biscayne Bay, he is here from England and we are looking for Bonefish. This is usually not a big deal but we had a cold front come thru and the winds are almost straight north down the barrier islands. I forgot to mention we are fly fishing! We started on the west bank and found the big school of Redfish, these fish are more weary than a Bonefish. If we were throwing bait we made of had a shot but not with a fly, they were just out of range. We moved around trying to find some protection from the wind but it wasn't easy but we did manage to sneak up on a fast moving school of 20 Bonefish. I offered a few suggestions but John said lets just cut our losses and call it a day.

I am fishing with Tim along his sons Tim and Joe and we are at Flamingo today, again the weather is playing a big role in our day. It was cool 61 degrees when we launched and the wind was 20-25 mph. Today I got tested, the fish were not really responsive and we earned every fish we caught. The fish they caught were big for the species, like Joe's 20 lb Barracuda, a 24" Trout and a 200 lb Bull shark. Flamingo always offer plenty of by catch with Jacks, Ladyfish and others that aren't so prized. The guys made the best of it; they drank at least a case of beer getting over the depression from the U. M. loss the night before.
