The tarpon fishing in Miami is great right now. On any given evening we have multiple shots and the fish range from 50 to well over 100 pounds.

The fish have been active on the nights when the shrimp are running, but we are also getting them eat on the off nights.

I have had the opportunity to fish with some great clients recently and we have caught some big fish. 

The offshore fishing has been good too with sailfish biting under the kites. There was not much current this week, but that could change any given day.

Run that dog,
