Biscayne Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report

Simon Rich pulled on this 80 lb tarpon long enough to get the leader into the rod tip before the fish bit through the 80 lb shock tippet.

Miles Coxe pulled on this 80 plus lb tarpon long enough to get it floating next to the boat. Mile's well placed fly enticed the tarpon into eating it.

This is Simon with his 25 lb permit he saw while being poled across a Stiltsville flat.

Biscayne Bay Fishing Forecast:

I will be concentrating on fishing for small tarpon at night with bait and fly. Migrating tarpon will be passing Biscayne Bay for a few more weeks. Also local tarpon are here. Permit fishing will get better. Bonefishing will be as good as usual.

Target Species:

tarpon, permit, bonefish, sharks
