Trip Summary

5/12/18 During and just before the major rain system came through a weather window opened up for Brian to Hook into some monster Miami Tarpon. We had to wait the first wave of rain out under the bridges and once it passed the drizzle and rain continued but the bite was border line epic with several Tarpon charging the fly with aggression. A quick strike sent the 6 FT 70-80 LB Tarpon like a rocket into the air that left our knees shaking he threw the hook on the first jump and we soon forgot that it was till raining. The next two tarpon charged like the first and we got the third into a tug of war battle that flet great. As we got the fish to the boat the fly fell out however it was a great fight and everyone was more than happy. We finished the night with the cherry on top of a surprise triple tail that hit the fly like it was the last coca cola in the dessert. After a quick photo session between swims in the live well we released him very healthy back to his dock.

Januari 6, 2026
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.
