Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
It's funny how things work out sometimes. I had two trips scheduled for tomorrow Saturday but Joe, my morning trip, called and asked if we could fish Friday, today, instead. I guess he saw the weather forecast of temperatures in the 30's and winds upwards of 30 MPH. So off we went on Friday morning with his friend Vinnie. The water temps were back at 70 and the morning was extremely foggy to the point we were limited on where we could go so we stayed close to the marina and went bonefishing. This is where Vinnie when bonefishing for the first time and he got his first bonefish. Yes!!!! The rare fog usually burns off in the first hour but not today, it actually got thicker throughout at the morning at times. During my trip with Joe and Vinnie, Jon calls me asking what time to meet today. "Huh, I can today but we're scheduled for tomorrow." Turns out he had his dates mixed up and the trip was supposed to be today. No problem. I wrapped up my trip with Joe and Vinnie catching snappers, although small, on every cast.
As soon as I dropped off Joe and Vinnie, Jon and Stefan jump aboard and we're off with the fog now cleared but the skies overcast. Jon was on spin and Stefan on fly and we struck out on bonefish but then they told me they would be happy catching anything. Cool! I took them to a wreck, set up and watched Jon catch yellow jacks, big blue runners, snappers and a few big mystery fish while the fish ignored Stefan's fly, they don't usually. Once Stefan picked up a spinning rod it was on as all fish were caught on lures and they took home plenty to eat.
By the evening and the following day the weather was horrible so the schedule change worked out.
