Holy Shrimp Run Miami Tarpon Fishing, Fl

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.

We sit out on a beautiful South Florida sunset evening tarpon trip. For the first Tarpon it didn’t take long. Switched over some bottom rigs and got snapper And jacks them wemt back to tarpon for the last drift amd hooked another. A great way to fish in the cool of the evening. And a short nice exciting forst tarpon for my guests

IGFA inshore Slam, fAce gRab fRiday ! Congrats to Gavin for his inshore slam! He started the day hunting for the snook on the way to the boat. Figuring he could knock out at least the Tarpon and/or a snook, he did getting both. We now only needed the Cubera Snapper to complete the slam, a pretty selective feat in itself. based on our past catch records things looked like they would line up and we had a good chance. We still fished like “Champions”for snook and Tarpon going 2-3 on the Tarpon up-to 95-100lb although the sharks were pretty bad we lost one of the snook to a big bull Shark we kept at it and the Cubera struck!. He tried to take us into the rocks. Gavin kept the pressure on as we moved around with the boat to get a better angle. With the drag now locked it wasn’t long and the Cubera was in the net for the slam! He even got a nice Mutton Snapper as bycatch. Right here in south Florida!
