Silver Crescent Fly Fishing offers a one-of-a-kind experience: targeting tarpon on the fly at night in the waters of Miami. With a deep understanding of Biscayne Bay and years of local expertise, we focus on areas where tarpon feed under the cover of darkness—along bridges, dock lights, and shadow lines. Our trips are designed to help anglers connect with tarpon in the 40- to 60-pound range, with the occasional opportunity to battle a fish pushing triple digits.
Each charter is tailored to your skill level and goals. Whether you're chasing your first tarpon or refining your cast before a destination trip, our guided fly fishing sessions give you the tools and opportunity to grow. Our night-time focus means we avoid the daytime heat and target fish when they’re most active. This trip is also ideal for Miami locals looking for a fun and productive evening on the water after work.
We primarily hunt tarpon near bridge pilings and shadowed edges, waiting for the telltale flash of silver as a fish ambushes its prey. Throughout the year, Miami’s resident tarpon population offers reliable chances to connect with powerful fish. These tarpon are explosive, smart, and notoriously tough to land, often making bold moves through structure to break off a line. Success requires patience, quick reflexes, and a bit of finesse—something our guides are happy to help you master.
On a strong tide, you may get multiple shots at feeding tarpon. The hookup is half the battle, as the real challenge begins when the fish takes flight and charges into structure. But when everything comes together—your cast, your hook set, and your fight—the reward is unmatched. Our guides stay hands-on throughout the trip, giving real-time coaching to boost your odds of success.
If the tarpon aren't playing or your arm needs a break from heavy rods, we’ll explore dock lights for other nighttime targets. These light sources often attract snapper, snook, and the occasional cruising tarpon, offering a mix of action and variety. No matter the conditions, we’re committed to making your night on the water productive, exciting, and unforgettable with Silver Crescent Fly Fishing.
