Good Day, Sunshine!

Clear skies and a spring tide brought some great conditions to the flats and channels of Biscayne Bay. Captain Joe Gonzalez had an excellent day with 7 bonefish in deeper South Bay- he caught the fish on fly and bait. With less time and a passion for diving birds, I stayed further north and tallied 40 jacks, and plenty of blue runners, yellow jacks, as well as pompano and bonefish. The secret when you are plug casting jigs tipped with shrimp is let the presentation drop actionless to the channel floor and bottom bounce- bones and pomps love it. A faster retrieve is sure to attract the jack family...the choice is yours: a bent rod beneath sunny skies are good days!
