Fraser Simpson

Member since June 2017 Miami, United States
Background
Captain Fraser grew up around his parents’ scuba diving business. He inherited the love for fishing from his father and later in life they were running together charters in Costa Rica. He's the head of Fly & Fish With Fraser business and is currently running night-time Tarpon fishing trips around Biscayne Bay in Miami, daytime Tarpon fishing trips, and Patch Reef Fishing in Key Largo.
Techniques
Captain Fraser went on his first trip around 1999 with Captain Tom Calandra. Later he got his own boat and became an expert in chasing Tarpon and the waters of the Biscayne Bay. Moving southwards, I started fishing around the Upper Keys and Key Largo. My desire was to offer anglers more diverse fishing experience and since then I've also organized patch reef fishing and Tarpon fishing there. I've learned a lot and I'm eager share my knowledge with you for that bucket list fish on fly or spin!

First Snook and Tarpon  of 2026 join us
First Snook and Tarpon of 2026 join us
Jan 6, 2026 Miami
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 waterโ€™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 tripโ€”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.
