Trip Summary

We started the night in the South of Biscayne Bay on this Evening Miami Tarpon Fishing Charter. We fished the Soft Plastic artificials around the Sea wall of the Cut. The Tarpon seemed to be feeding on small pilchards in the area and we marked several. It wasn't long before Murats Rod was bent over in the shape of a candy cane as this Tarpon went crazy doing an amazing acrobatic show for us. We got a boat side release on that fish as a hungry shark was nearby chasing him around so it was better to quickly release the fish without photos. We moved away from the area and found the Tarpon again. it wasn't long before we hooked several more and Jumped them off a little early. We moved further north in the bay and fished some bridges in the area with good lights that attract bait fish. It wasn't for 6 more casts and Murat was hooked up again. We got this fish back to the boat and made some great photographs and more memories for him to take home. This marked another great night of Tarpon fishing.

This week : Last night was an unforgettable angling adventure, filled with the thrill of chasing tarpon and snook under the moonlit sky. Armed with an array of fishing techniques, we set out with high hopes and a boat full of gear. Starting Strong with Live Bait: We began the night using live bait, which proved effective as the water was teeming with activity. The snook were particularly responsive, their aggressive strikes sending adrenaline surging through us as we reeled them in one after another. Switching to Artificial Lures: As the tide shifted, we transitioned to artificial lures. Topwater subsurface artificials worked wonders, especially during the calm moments when the water’s surface resembled glass. The sight of tarpon exploding after a well-placed lure was nothing short of spectacular. Fly Fishing Under the Stars: To elevate the challenge, we brought out the fly rods. This technique required precise casting and delicate presentation, but the reward was immense. Watching a tarpon inhale a meticulously tied fly under the moonlight was mesmerizing, showcasing the art and patience involved in fly fishing. Drift Fishing for the Big Bites: As the night deepened, we employed drift fishing, letting the current carry our bait naturally under bridges or drifting beaches This method attracted larger tarpon The powerful runs and acrobatic leaps of these silver kings tested our skills and stamina. Reflections on an Epic week Throughout the night, the combination of techniques kept the excitement high and our lines tight. Each method revealed different behaviors of tarpon and snook, enhancing our understanding and appreciation of these incredible species. It was more than just a fishing trip—it was a night of strategy, skill, and connection with nature. The camaraderie, the challenges, and the triumphs will be etched in our memories, fueling our passion for the next adventure.
