Tarpon Fishing

Biscayne Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report

Rich Schuster from Del's Bait and Tackle caught 2 tarpon of 30 and 90 lbs fishing Haulover Inlet last Tuesday night fishing with live shrimp on a jig head. Since the recent cold front, it seems the tarpon have moved to warmer waters. However, with conditions returning to normal, water temperatures are on the rise and tarpon should be returning to their normal haunts in the next day or two. I'm hoping tomorrow.

Biscayne Bay Fishing Forecast:

It looks like the weather will be steadily warming over the next week and fishing will return to normal. Bonefish and tarpon in Miami's Biscayne Bay should be ready to eat after being gone for the last few days. Government Cut and Miami Beach are sure to hold tarpon consistently. The shrimp run is in full swing and hopefully some will make it past the many wing netters patrolling the waterways.
