Miami showed up breezy today, upper 70s, mostly cloudy, steady wind putting a little attitude on the water. Inshore was workable. Offshore had that “earn it” kind of chop. Inshore Grind: • Barracuda – Nice keeper class fish. Came in hot, put on a show. Customers chose to release. Respect. Let that silver torpedo live to fight another day. • Mangrove Snapper – Quality mangroves off structure. Had to fish smart and tight. • Sea Trout – They were THERE. Circling, flashing, inspecting the bait like critics at a food festival… but wouldn’t commit. That’s pressured fish with a breeze pushing water around. Sometimes they ghost you before they bless you. • Puffer Fish – Couple little surprise guests keeping rods busy. Offshore Run: Made the move, but conditions weren’t ideal. With that wind and no live bait in the spread, it wasn’t the setup for a wide-open bite. Live bait definitely would’ve increased the action in that sea state, but we played the hand we were dealt. Overall? We adjusted. We read the water. We kept lines tight. Some days it’s fireworks. Some days it’s chess. Today we played chess and still bent rods. That’s how we do it. ???
