Had an excellent day out looking for tarpon bonefish and permit.

Did a 3/4 day fly fishing trip in Biscayne Bay with Martin in late January. Had a fabulous and productive trip. Martin is easy to work with, patient with less than par casting skills and helpful with advice and teaching. He is tenacious about finding fish: I had a great day, catching baby tarpon and snook, but the bones were nowhere to be seen, largely a function of cooler and cloudy water. Martin is interesting to talk to and fun to spend a day in a skiff with. I will definitely book again.

I had a great time on this trip.  We got on some bonefish early and then made a long run (despite current gas prices) to go after tarpon and bonefish.  I had only fished with a guide one other time and that experience consisted of the guide forcing me to reel with my opposite hand because of the theory that it would be a few milliseconds faster, which totally threw off my casting and only allowed me to fish for 100+ pound tarpon and would not allow me to cast to smaller fish rolling all around us even if I wanted to.  This trip was the complete opposite experience.  Captain Martin made sure we gave it our best shot and tailored the trip based on our previous email exchange.  I definitely blew a bunch of shots at tarpon, but the Captain took some time out to correct some of my casting mistakes and then we kept at it and brought 5 bonefish to the boat.  I am definitely hooked on bonefish now and will go home with some lessons to apply for next time.
