Two
types of fishing charters adventure await you in Miami, Biscayne Bay.
NIGHT FISHING: 2:00 in the morning. The tide has turned and is showing little
signs of moving back out to the Atlantic. A manta ray, hunting shrimp, swoops
by the back of the boat and disappears into the darkness. Capt. Alex sets the perfect
drift through Haulover Inlet. Your jig bounces bottom, drops, bounces, drops,
just as it has for the past hour. Then BOOM, you're hit. Something very alive
and very strong is hooked. Line zips off your reel as the fish bolts for the
ocean. Miami sleeps as you struggle with this fish. This is why you need fishing guide Capt. Alex.
Nighttime battles with monster snook and tarpon in Upper Biscayne Bay are Captain
Alex's forte. Despite the daytime boat traffic and hustle and bustle of Miami,
big fish thrive here, and darkness is their friend. Alex focuses his nighttime
fishing on Government Cut and Haulover Inlet, as well as the interior of Upper
Biscayne Bay, depending on wind and weather conditions. If you want the extreme
experience of fighting a tank snook or tarpon at night, give fishing guide Capt. Alex Rodriguez a call.
MIAMI BISCAYNE FISHING CHARTERS - DAY TRIPPING
The flats are beautiful. They are extreme. They are both generous and contrary.
They will beat you down. On this day the wind kicks up. Clouds move in, making
fish truly invisible. It's been three hours and all you've seen are sharks and
rays. Other skiffs retire for the afternoon. But Capt. Alex won't give up. He knows
a sheltered spot. Once there he begins poling. Halfway across the flat he whispers, "Fish!
One o'clock. 30 yards." You see it now. But it's too big to be a bone. Is
it? No. Wait, My god, it is. It's a bone! Crunch time. It's all you, now. It's
your fault or your prize. You cast. Close enough. The fish perks up. Alex makes
you wait and wait and wait. "Now!" Fish on!
Flats fishing for outsized bones, permit and tarpon in Lower Biscayne Bay is
Alex's daytime passion. Whether it's the inside flats and mangrove lines or the
oceanside flats and channels, Capt. Alex knows and loves this dynamic environment.
Give him a call or send an email for the classic Miami Biscayne fishing guide flats experience.
WHY IS BISCAYNE BAY FISHING CHARTERS SO SWEET?
Three major marine eco-systems - the Keys, Florida's east coast barrier islands,
and the Atlantic Ocean converge in Biscayne Bay, resulting in an amazingly fertile
and vibrant fishery that supports BIG predatory fish. Snook here are simply bigger
than their cousins elsewhere in the state. Tarpon love the place and Biscayne
bones are legendary for their size. Captain Alex Rodriguez has spent most of
his life learning the nuances of this eco-system and how to find its prize game
fish. |
