Been a long hot summer. Afternoon storms finally fired up over the last couple of months. We’ve fished the dock lights quite a few times and had some good fun on the fly rods on tarpon and snook.
Have had more battles with homeowners over the water under their dock being private property this year than ever. There are some real pricks out there. Even had one call the police, give them false info, and ended up with a helicopter running me down. That was a fun night! Haven’t had the camera out much at night, its been raining a lot in the evenings. Fished Biscayne Bay in the morning a little while back. It was pretty slow, but we did run into a school of good sized redfish. They were laying up in a series of potholes, impossible to see, and when the fly line landed, they all spooked. Had a couple big tailing bonefish pop up, but they weren’t quite in range, and they were digging hard.
Lucas turned one year old August 30, and there was a nice party for him a couple days before.
A week later we spent the long Labor Day Weekend in Ormond Beach, with the Dorr’s. We had a great dinner at the Fish House, where we tore up some oysters, tuna, cobia, crab and more. We had fun waves every day, and two nice redfish were caught to feed us the next two evenings.
The kids were surfing their brains out during the day, and we caught some fun waves too.
On the right tide there were some good shoulder high lines coming through. Next week Im heading down to Islamorada for a few days to fish in a fun tournament with Dave and Joe. I’ll get some photos from down there, and look forward to getting back out in Biscayne very soon. Peace!
