Biscayne Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report

This week we've been fishing at night locally in the urban portions of Biscayne Bay. In two nights we've found lots of small tarpon up to about 30lbs hanging out in the shadows under bridges from Miami to Miami Beach. We're working the fish with both fly and spinning gear and the fly gear has gotten most of the bites. Fly rods are in the 8 or 9 wt size and the spinning gear is only 10lb line. As usual the fish do most of the releasing, our best night we jumped ten fish - all were cast to after being sighted right at the surface... Here's a few pics of local angler David Hughes on a nice one....

The night scene will continue strong for the entire summer as long as the tide is outgoing and it's well after dark.
