Although a late-season front approaches, yesterday in Biscayne Bay was one for the books. With SE winds under clear skies, the Northern reaches of South Biscayne Bay were hot, hot ,hot! Tarpon fishing has been phenomenal- I relased another pair of fish, each over one hundred pounds by 8 a.m., and jumped a smaller fish of sixty pounds about a mile south of Rickenbacker Bridge in the ICW. Also present in the catch-and-release action were spanish mackeral, bluefish, loads of large ladyfish, and plenty of jack crevalle. Although a few tarpon were taken on fly, most of the fish were taken on live shrimp and twelve pound spin and plug tackle. All of this action has been spurred by rising water temperatures, and possibly the spring silver mullet run, which is starting to trickle into our waters.
