I was able to get out this week to do some Fishing in Biscayne Bay for Bonefish and Permit. The weather has been tough as of late with record rain fall in South Florida I saw a break in the weather and called my local Clients and was able to Book a day and what a day it was. We began fishing at Dawn as the sun rose the fishing was slow as first spot had lots of fresh water that plagued the bay after being drained from the canals that connect to Miami. So we made a move looking for saltier water stopping at a few spots literally tasting the water as soon as we found some salinity in the water we immediately found life on the flats. We encountered a small group of Bonefish made a cast and got a bite but couldn't keep it on! About 15 minutes later we saw a school of Permit and decided to throw a live crab that we had ready but they were on the small side and couldn't eat our crab even though he was feeling the thumps from the fish we quickly grabbed the jig rod and made a cast and hooked up! As we were playing the Permit a Shark moved in and we had to free spool the fish in order to give it a fighting chance since we couldn't pop it off but the Shark took a big bite of the fish and the fight was over. The sun was finally in a good position in the sky and with light winds we decided to do some Fly fishing for Bonefish. The tide was getting right and with good visibility I knew that it was going to get right at some point. We began poling a small flat on a Mangrove shoreline and within ten minutes we hooked up to a nice Biscayne Bay Bonefish on fly. After a quick picture and release we began poling the edge again I spotted another school of Bonefish out of the corner of my eye and we made a quick cast and hooked up again! Now with two Bonefish landed I even got to join in on the action. There were lots of fish on this flat and we were able to line up another shot at a school he hooked up and I second bat up from the platform and we doubled up! We decided to make a move to an adjacent flat closer to a channel and look for more fish as the water level fell about 20 minutes in we spotted a small group of fish and with a properly placed fly we were back to the races. The fishing is as Hot as the temperatures in South Florida if your Looking for a Miami Fishing Guide while on Vacation or just want to go fishing Book a trip! The Florida Keys are open for Business as of June 1st and I am looking forward to getting back to work and spending time with Clients Old and and New on my skiff

Its been HOT here in south florida but so has the fishing! This time of year is great for knocking off multiple species from your bucket list. I have some days in September for anyone who wants to fish the flats and put their skills to the test!

Spent a week in the Everglades fly fishing for giant Tarpon as the Migration has started througout South Florida with the return of warm temps and light winds the fish are making there way to the spawning grounds but not without a pit stop in the Everglades to fuel up and get some rest and that is where we come in and feed them a nice big fly! The Everglades are a great place to fish for beginner fly tarpon anglers because we can not only sight fish but we can always blind cast and hook up to the silver king with countless areas to fish finding the fish sometimes can be the hardest part of the trip but once your on them you dont need a 60ft cast into a five gallon bucket in 20mph winds just to get a look remember these fish are here to eat! Thanks for reading and if your thinking of taking on the Silver king for the fist time please don’t hesitate to book Scannin Shallow Guide Service i look forward to teaching you the ways of the Tarpon!
