After work : we starter the trip on the outside working around the snook hot spots it was long before we started marking fish and tarpon were rolling around. as the sun went down the bite took off and we caught and released more than a few snook. we caught a nice black tip shark that put up a big fight on light tackle. We then focused our attention to fly fishing for tarpon around the lights around docks and bridges. we hooked a tarpon but he didn't stay connected. we hooked up and played with all the other fish in the lights jacks, look downs and snapper. It was another exciting night fishing in Miami for this a great Miami tarpon and snook sight fishing combo trip!!

January 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.
