Fishing Biscayne Bay with Capt. Jerry Murphy a little bit of fun fishing! We started the morning in bonefish for about an hour. Jerry landed a nice bone that was 7 pounds. Then we headed out for tarpon and found 5 large tarpon most of the day. Headed back in to look for more bones and found a small permit that just wouldn't eat.

Biscayne Bay with Paul and Oleg Tumanov both from Moscow, Russia found a large number of bonefish, they both landed a number of Barracuda and Ladyfish and some sharks. Oleg Tumanov landed a 7.25 pound bonefish on 10 pound braid. Good day

Fishing Flamingo with Andrey Vlasov from Moscow, Russia we were in a lot of small tarpon and lots of reds but no eaters we did land one redfish 25 inches and one bonefish 7 pounds. It was a good day, his first time fishing for bonefish and his first bonefish.

Small tarpon are around in Florida bay and bonefish are in good numbers in south Biscayne bay hope it stays that way tarpon fishing will get better with the heat and should start to find more permit.
