Night Time Tarpon Bite

Mar 1, 2026 Miami Beach

Night Tarpon Bite Is On in the Bay ?? Excellent night fishing in the bay with some solid Tarpon action! We targeted bridges and shadow lines after sunset, and the fish were actively rolling and feeding. Live bait did the trick, producing multiple hookups and some powerful runs that made for an exciting night on the water. Most of the bites came during moving tide, with Tarpon cruising just under the lights. Calm conditions and warm water temperatures made for a perfect setup, and the fish were aggressive once hooked. If you’re looking for a true South Florida experience, nighttime Tarpon fishing in the bay is hard to beat. Great action, beautiful night scenery, and unforgettable fights.

Offshore tuna bite (Miami)

Nov 19, 2025 Miami Beach

The offshore bite in Miami is on fire right now! The tunas are super active, stacked up and feeding hard. We’re seeing steady action with fish blowing up on the surface and hitting both live bait and jigs. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to get out there, this is it. Conditions are clean, birds are working, and the tuna bite is as good as it gets. Let’s go bend some rods! ??

SNAPPER FISHING

Jul 9, 2024 Miami Beach

Its that time of year where the reef is on fire with snappers. Contact us and kets get tight on these hard fighting tasty fish.

Jigging deep wrecks/Sea monsters

Jan 25, 2022 Miami Beach

I started the afternoon (PM) trip, searching for white bait. The bait was hard to find. Bait spots were empty. So, I decided to start the fishing 1 hour in a half before sunset. I started my drift on top of the wreck at 230ft. 30 minutes into jigging 200g Jigs, we landed a nice 34-inch cobia. The anglers on the boat were experienced, which helped smooth the process of landing the fish. Once the fish was placed in ice. We reset on the drift and this time we hooked on a sea monster. This fish did not want to be tamed. 5 minutes into the fight, fish was broken off, possibly to the bottom structure of the wreck. We thought it could of been a BIG AJ (Amberjack). As the sun started to set, moved into the inshore tarpon bite. It was steady. Hooked on nice fish throughout the night. Make sure you book your Drift Fishing Trip. lets get those lines tight.

INSHORE MUTTON SNAPPERS

Dec 19, 2021 Miami Beach

Windy saturday morning called for some inshore fishing off biscayne bay. Anchored up in a few channels. Caught about 10 mutton snappers 2 of which were keeper size. All others were 2 inches off legal size. 1 black grouper and 2 red groupers which were all undersized as well. Action packed day finishing off with a nice size barracuda.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was truly a pleasure having you and your kids out on the water. I’m really glad you all had a great day and that we were able to mix it up with some trolling and bottom fishing—those barracudas, bonitas, grunts, and grouper made it an exciting trip! I really appreciate the recommendation and your support. Trips like yours are exactly why I love what I do. Hope to see you and the family back out again soon for another great day of fishing! 🎣😊

We booked a reef fishing trip with Captain Miguel. Due to weather, Captain reached out to us and suggested a change in trip due to weather and safety. He suggested a few different options and we let him decide. He took us on a night time inshore fishing trip, and it exceeded every expectation we had and then some. He was knowledgeable about the art of fishing, compassionate towards marine life, patient with non experienced anglers, funny, and an all around great human being. We... More
