Night Time Tarpon Bite
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 youโ€™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)
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. Weโ€™re seeing steady action with fish blowing up on the surface and hitting both live bait and jigs. If youโ€™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. Letโ€™s go bend some rods! ??

Jigging deep wrecks/Sea monsters
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.

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.
