Sick Amounts of Bones in Biscayne

Schools of Bonefish in Biscayne Bay 2009

Everybody keeps asking me when the darn wind will let up? It is making it hard for us charter boat captains and I don’t have an answer for them, however if you can find some wind breaks on an incoming tide in some Bonefish spots you might do well! The last 2 weeks we have been inundated with double digit bones and every day we are getting a couple. Yesterday we fished the first annual “Casting for a cause “tournament, it is a 2 day tournament out of Flamingo and Biscayne Bay sponsored by Seminole Hard Rock and Torbert Produce benefiting Prader-Willi Syndrome. The first day we fished Flamingo and did O.K. buy catching only 3 Snook one which was 32 inches and blowing out in my guesstimation well over 200 fish, the Snook were very spooky and not eating normally and the water looked like chocolate milk, the Snook that did eat were eating silver spoons.
On the second day we were finding school after school of bones with David Torbert catching 5 bonefish to take junior angler and largest Bonefish, all were caught on live shrimp.
On the Oceanside of Biscayne Bay Tarpon are pouring around the edges of the flats but it has been a little too windy to fish for them.
In Everglades National Park, Tarpon were the story on the gulf side before the wind blew everything out. We have been boating many Tarpon on Rapala x-Raps as well as dark color dredge flies on 12 wt gear.
Let’s hope the wind dies off soon so we can get back to normal.

Be careful and tight lines.
