This Sunday found Dave, a trout guide from Wyoming www.JacksonHoleAnglers.com and his long time friend, Ken, from Pennsylvannia on the bow of my skiff for a half day break from exploring Miami. The plan was to mix it up in Biscayne Bay. We started with some shots at tarpon on the Oceanside including a string of 100lbers in 3' of water, always an impressive sight! We then switched to bonefish and some shots later our half day was running out. We had two choices, run far north to what promised to be fast bonefish action or take a short hop to mutton land. They decided upon mutton land, and as usual the muttons didn't disappoint. Minutes after arriving, Dave's rod bends over and the drag starts to scream. Unfortunately the hook pulled free and the beast swam free. Just minutes later and much smack talk amongst the two friends later, Ken's rod doubles over and the drag screams. A few seconds later Dave's rod bends over also and now the sweet sound of two drags screaming in tandem filled the air. The action continued until quitting time and smiles and more trash talk were plentiful as we crossed Biscayne Bay on the way back to the ramp. Days like these are common right now so get out there and make that drag scream!
