Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
Peter Spina from NY, Rich Bodmer from NJ, John Cooley from Delaware, and Mark Anderson from N. Miami, got together for an afternoon of fishing in Biscayne Bay. The wind from earlier in the week had dropped off giving us smooth conditions on the bay. Our first stop produced several jack crevalle caught on 1/4 ounce Kaplan jigs. At the second location we hit pay dirt with sea trout and jack crevalle. By this time, we had switched over to the Cajun Thunder with live shrimp. The action was fast and steady with everyone catching numerous fish. Mark switched back to the Kaplan jig and continued to catch jacks and sea trout. As the trip was drawing to a close, I decided to troll the edge of the channel with Kaplan jigs while heading back toward Spinnaker Marina. The jigs had barely been put out when both rods got hit and we caught bluefish. Out with the jigs again, troll 100' and more bluefish. We did this 4 times before leaving the area where the bluefish were holding.
To sum up the afternoon's fishing, we used 4 and 6 pound spinning outfits with 1/4 ounce Kaplan jigs in pink/white and chartreuse/white as well as Cajun Thunder floats with live shrimp. The 30 seatrout, 10 jack crevalle, and 8 bluefish that we caught were all released.
