    Half day with Captain Mo

    Full Day Trip on May 29, 2018 • 2 adults

    Had an amazing 4 hour trip with Capt. Mo inshore fishing the flats around Key Biscayne. We tried for Tarpon, saw lots rolling and tailing but they just weren't biting our live crabs so we quickly changed to a light tackle topwater lure setup and got hooked on trout, snapper and some nice Jacks within minutes. Mo was professional, friendly, took great care of us and ensured that all of the caught fish was released unharmed. Great guy and a lot of fun to be around. Will definitely fish with him when we're back in Miami!

    6h trip with capten Mo

    3/4 Day Trip on November 24, 2016 • 3 adults

    Me and my family went out on a 6h trip with Mo and we caught plenty of fish and different spieces from Jack and bluefish to lady fish and spotted seatrout, but the most thrilling part was the shark fishing. We managed to Catch a nurse shark and lost one spinning shark when the line broke! Mo was very professional and a good fishing companion, the gear and boat was excellent so it was the perfect fishing trip and the whole family enjoyed it very much.

    My Wife and I first met Capt Mo at the Pathfinder Boats booth of the 2013 Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show. We enjoyed his demeanor and personality so booked him for a full day in Key Biscayne 03/01/14 on our way home through South Florida from Argentina. We spoke the day before and laid out the plan. Our major goal was to experience for the first time a variety of the shallow water fishery in and around Key Biscayne as we usually stay and fish the middle and lower keys. Cap Mo nailed it as we started the day with rolling Tarpon near the beach. It was my first time with a 12wt and sink tip. Cap Mo taught me the advantage of a double haul. No Tarpon but a great lesson. From there we hit a couple of grass flats targeting Trout. The quality of the flats surprised us as they were only a few hundred meters from residential and commercial buildings and docks. While in one we saw a massive Hammerhead that was following Tarpon. After the flats we moved in to a finger channel and caught our fair share of reef fish including several very nice Muttons. This was my wife's favorite as the action was non stop. Great day with big smiles and good times with Cap Mo. I highly recommend Cap Mo to anyone looking for a non pretentious and extremely friendly, flexible guide who puts the client first.

    Half Day Trip on March 10, 2014

    Spring break trip with our 9 year old who was new to fishing. Chartered Miami Bonefishing for 1/2 day AM on a Wednesday, and stayed In-shore just to bend a rod and get the saltwater experience. Great communication from Capt Mo regarding weather and fishing conditions as a nasty cold front moved in the day before. Also really appreciated his interaction with my son and the genuine excitement for fishing he helped trigger out on the water. Conditions were difficult but the sea trout were fun to catch, lots of strikes, and they made for great pics. Stable and safe boat, great tackle, great guide and conversation. Highly recommend and will use this guide again.

    Half Day Trip on April 27, 2014

    My two teenage boys and I fished with Captain Mo on 4/24/14. What a great day! Captain Mo was very knowledgeable and accommodating to our skills. We were able to land a fly rod hooked Tarpon that was estimated at 100 lbs. As a longtime fly fisher, this day was spectacular! Fishing in Biscayne Bay was wonderful. The Miami skyline and the diversity of fish available were impressive. I would highly recommend Captain Mo if you are in Miami/South Florida and looking for a great day on the water.

    2nd time with Captain Mo. Much better weather this year. Hit Tarpon almost immediately and tied up right after sunrise. Mo is very knowledgeable and is eager to share it. Did my first Miami flats which on their own were an incredible experience but add sharks, barracuda, permit,bonefish and tarpon and its unforgettable.

    Mutton Snapper
    After a few days off I was itching to hit the water and waiting to get Bob and his son Noah on board. I love fall in Miami and I had a feeling things were going to be good. We started later than I would like but having to drive over an hour to get to the marina was understandable. At the marina under my boat was a school of pilchards. Thank you God! A few throws and I got enough bait for snook fishing. Pulling in to the first creek we staked off tossed a live bait in the water and while I showed Noah how to work the artificial lure things moved quickly. Rod doubles over, drag screams, Bob grabs the rod and fights a snook to the boat. Cool! We had a few more hits but they were a bit shy because it was later in the morning. Taking them to another spot we had fun with a number of fish and not so much fun losing 2-3 big groupers to the bottom. Urgh! Last spot produced a slob mutton snapper for Bob. Nice job Bob! Catching Biscayne Bay pink and gold, can't beat it!

    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    I can honestly tell you I hate 9/11, it brings back the worst of memories and still raw emotion but David was once again on board and I was excited at the prospect of this morning. Meeting up at the marina while still dark, we ran offshore for some dolphin (mahi mahi) fishing. Yep, in my 16' Hewes. The weedlines were scattered and few in number but we finally found one that had bait and lots of activity. While it yielded only one dolphin, David caught a number of small amberjack on bait and on a fly rod. The glass calm water was quickly disturbed by wind around 9:30am so we headed to an inshore snook spot where David got a nice snook and some tough fighting jacks. What a nice trip this morning with David catching his first dolphin and snook. I love it!

    Local angler and regular client Alec last fished with me a couple of months ago and on that day the last cast of the day was to a group of feeding bonefish which he hooked and lost about 50 yards into the run courtesy of the neighboring coral heads. Today Alec jumped aboard with a laser focus on bonefish. The bonefishing was slower than expected but Alec stayed focused on the goal so we pressed on. On the last flat of the trip we stake out and wait. Not longer after, a grey shadow moves into the shallow white sand bank we were on and eats the shrimp we offered it. The rod doubled over, a silver flash raced across the flat and Alec hangs on as the fish sizzles 150 yards of line off the reel on the initial run. Wow! After the long run the bonefish burns up it's energy reserves and comes to the landing net. What a feeling! I never get used to this! Some pictures later Alec releases his bonefish and I'm pumped. Another fish moves in, goes right up to our bait and swims off. Call me greedy but I wanted that fish too for Alec. What a way to end a gorgeous summer day in Miami!

    One day I'm fishing in the shadows of South Beach and the next I'm fishing deep in South Biscayne Bay out of Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo. This afternoon was the latter with Shane from Ohio who was looking to catch a bonefish. Arriving at a flat we set up and wait for the schools to pass by. Not long after a school comes from behind us and we take a shot. The cast lands 5' in front of them, perfect! The school of bonefish moves over the shrimp, puff mud, meaning they are feeding, and then move on. They missed our shrimp! Well, Shane would see redemption again, and again, and again. Shane didn't catch one bonefish, he caught three! What an afternoon with three silver prizes and a few sharks for good measure! Congrats Shane!

    January 30, 2015 Report Today found me in the Everglades with Jorge Sr. and his son Jorge Jr. We had an absolutely gorgeous day today with light winds for a big part of the day. Low tide greeted us with large exposed flats and hundreds of white ibis' feeding on the exposed flats creating an incredible contrast against the dark bottom. The bird activity was awesome with pink flamingos, white pelicans, ibis' and osprey's with fish in their grasps. At almost every spot we had dolphins playing and swimming by the boat, an incredible sight no doubt. But back to fishing. We had a nice day catching: black drum sea trout sheepshead jacks snapper and mackerel. These guys are always great when they jump aboard on my skiff and I look forward to fishing with them again.

    Speckled Trout
    Local resident Alejandro had his nephew Andres and friend Javier in town from Columbia and wanted to take them fishing. Conditions were nice today but a little cloud cover kept it in the low 60's most of the morning and a steady 20 MPH wind had us limited where we could fish. In spite of that we found fish at almost every spot although it was slower than I would have liked. Andres lost what was probably a nice snook to some pilings and the tarpon that were around would cooperate. Even still, the kids caught fish, had a great time and were able to catch some fish they hadn't experienced before.
