I had a trip to north Biscayne bay today with three customers, we launched out of pelican harbor Marina and headed north. We trolled some lipped plugs on the way to our spot and picked up a Mack and some runners. The plan was to drift fish some usually productive grass flats using jerk baits and gulp shrimp. I landed a nice Pompano right away on a jerk bait and then got a smaller one, after that it was lizard fish and jacks for the next hr. A storm rolled up on us with some rain and heavy gusts so we tucked in behind a spoil island to wait it out. After it passed we headed across the ICW and found birds working bait, with the bait was good mixed bag of fish. We caught bluefish, jacks, a trout (finally), and another Mack on jerk baits. One of the clients also lost a big fish that hit a gulp shrimp and had him down to the backing before the hook came out. Overall it was a good trip (especially considering the weather) the one thing that bothered me was the lack of trout. A year ago I could go to north bay and expect to catch 15+ trout any time of year in a four hour trip, but the last few trips I have been lucky to get one
