Let's talk about Biscayne Bay National Park being absolutely ON FIRE right now! Whether you're booking a fly fishing charter or spin tackle fishing charter, the action is reaching peak season intensity across all species.

This past week's fishing charters delivered exceptional variety. I had the pleasure of guiding a recurring client who specifically wanted to target oceanside tarpon on his charter. Our persistence paid off with multiple encounters featuring schools of 50+ silver kings ready for action. Despite challenging winds and their notoriously selective feeding habits, these magnificent game fish are finally establishing consistent patterns. The opportunities for a trophy tarpon fishing charter are definitely there!

The following days brought a memorable multi-day fishing charter with a younger gentleman and his 83-year-old father. Their simple request? A good time and some bonefish action. Our charters delivered both objectives all three days! The Biscayne bonefish are widespread and actively feeding, providing consistent light tackle thrills throughout our charter area. We even encountered the unusual sight of a mutton snapper trailing a stingray across the flats – showcasing the incredible diversity these fishing charters can produce.

Stay tuned for next week's fishing charter report as I'll be guiding several clients into Everglades National Park, focusing exclusively on connecting with the legendary "Silver King" tarpon. These specialized tarpon fishing charters are prime booking opportunities during this peak migration period.

For those looking to experience Biscayne Bay's exceptional spring fishing, now is the time to secure your charter dates before the prime calendar spots fill completely!

Hi-ho silver! Tarpon are getting thicker and thicker! The Everglades out of flamingo on the west coast is the meeting grounds for these migratory tarpon to come and hangout and feed! Staging for the migration! We had a light front come through this week just like last year but the fish were still happy and around. Targeting these fish on fly and spin is easier then fishing the Oceanside migratory fish. Hook up ratio is extremely high! When they slow down we have been changing it up to fishing the mangroves for snook and baby tarpon! Weather is getting more and more predictable as we move further into spring and  summer! 


Tarpon are not the only plentiful fish going off right now! Bone-fishing   in Islamorada Florida keys and Biscayne bay is extremely hot right now! Love using shrimp to get multiple fish to eat! However accurate fly casting has been giving us great shots at these fish with the occasional
Permit coming through! As we move closer into spring the permit will start to show up more and more giving us a few more shots then we have currently but still one of the hardest fish in my opinion to feed on fly! They are not loyal fish lol 


The peacock bass fishing is getting hotter as we get closer to their spawning season in may. They are always fun to go target on fly and light tackle whether it’s bait or lures! 


We have some dates still open for may and June prime tarpon dates! Reach out to us and let’s get out there and sling feathers!
