Night Fishing Magic in Key Biscayne

Get ready for an after-dark adventure on the waters of Key Biscayne! Our 5-hour night fishing trip is perfect for anglers looking to mix things up and experience the thrill of hooking into some serious fish under the stars. Whether you're itching to tangle with monster snook lurking in the shadows or hoping to spot the silver flash of a tarpon rolling on the surface, this trip's got a little something for everyone. We'll set you up with all the gear you need, so all you've gotta do is show up ready for action.

What to Expect on the Water

As the sun dips below the horizon, we'll head out into the calm evening waters around Key Biscayne. The cooler nighttime temps make for comfortable fishing, and you'll be amazed at how the waterways come alive after dark. Our expert captain knows all the local hotspots where fish tend to feed at night, so we'll have you on the fish in no time. We'll primarily focus on inshore fishing, targeting structure and areas where predatory fish like snook and tarpon hunt under cover of darkness. If conditions are right, we might even venture a bit offshore to try our luck with some hard-fighting pelagics.

Night Fishing Know-How

Night fishing requires a different set of skills and techniques compared to daytime angling. We'll gear you up with specialized equipment designed for after-dark fishing, including lights to attract bait and fish. You'll learn how to use your other senses - like hearing and touch - to detect bites when visibility is low. We'll show you how to work lures that mimic nocturnal prey, like topwater poppers that create a commotion on the surface or soft plastics that imitate shrimp skittering along the bottom. Don't worry if you're new to night fishing - our captain will be right there to guide you every step of the way, from rigging up to landing your catch.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Snook: These elusive "linesiders" are a top target for night fishing enthusiasts. Snook love to ambush prey around structure like docks, mangroves, and bridge pilings. They put up an incredible fight, often making powerful runs and acrobatic jumps. Nighttime is prime time for big snook, as they move into shallower water to feed under the cover of darkness. The thrill of hearing a big snook crush a topwater lure in the pitch black is something you won't soon forget!

Tarpon: Known as the "silver king," tarpon are one of the most sought-after gamefish in Florida. These prehistoric-looking fish can grow to over 100 pounds and are famous for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. Night fishing for tarpon can be especially productive, as they often roll on the surface to gulp air, making them easier to spot. We'll target them around bridges, channels, and other areas with moving water where they ambush bait.

Cero Mackerel: These speedsters are cousins to the more well-known king mackerel, but they're every bit as fun to catch. Ceros have a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth and will absolutely smoke a bait, often jumping and tailwalking across the surface when hooked. We might encounter them if we venture a bit offshore, especially around structure or bait schools.

Crevalle Jack: Pound for pound, jacks are some of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean. These bulldogs of the sea travel in schools and will attack just about any bait or lure that comes their way. At night, we often find them busting bait on the surface - the commotion can sound like a herd of horses galloping across the water!

Black Grouper: While we primarily target them during the day, big black grouper will sometimes venture out of their rocky lairs to feed at night. These bruisers can grow to over 100 pounds and are known for their powerful initial run, trying to break you off in the rocks. If we hook into one of these guys, you'll be in for a true test of strength and endurance.

Top Catches This Season

The night bite has been on fire lately! We've been seeing some monster snook in the 20-30 pound range crushing live baits around dock lights and bridge pilings. Tarpon fishing has also been red hot, with several fish in the 80-100 pound class being jumped each week. The unpredictable nature of night fishing means you never know what might show up - we even had a customer land a 50-pound cobia that came up to investigate our lights last week!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's just something special about being out on the water at night. The peacefulness of the evening, broken only by the splash of a feeding fish or the whir of your reel as something big takes off with your bait. It's a totally different experience from daytime fishing, and many anglers find it addictive once they give it a try. Plus, the cooler temperatures make for a much more comfortable trip, especially during the hot summer months. Night fishing often produces bigger fish too, as the cover of darkness gives them confidence to move into shallower water and feed more aggressively.
