PEAK TARPON SEASON ARRIVES: May Delivers Ultimate Biscayne Bay Fishing Charter Opportunities

April Highlights & May Forecast for Biscayne Bay Fishing Charters with Capt. John Long

Biscayne Bay's legendary spring fishery has been firing on all cylinders throughout April, with patterns suggesting May will deliver even more exceptional opportunities for Biscayne Bay fishing charter clients. Tarpon fishing maintained remarkable consistency this past month, providing multiple quality shots during our Biscayne Bay fishing charters when conditions aligned. Most productive encounters occurred during lower wind periods coinciding with prime moving tides, where these magnificent silver kings eagerly responded to well-presented flies and baits.

Perhaps most exciting for Biscayne Bay fishing charter anglers was the permit action, with several banner days producing multiple hookups—a rare achievement with these notoriously selective gamefish. The Biscayne Bay flats have been holding impressive numbers of these bronze fighters, particularly around the stronger tide phases.

Looking ahead, May traditionally marks the absolute peak of our Biscayne Bay tarpon migration season, as massive schools of oceanside fish pour through our waters. This intensified tarpon presence, combined with consistent permit opportunities and active bonefish populations, creates the perfect environment for anglers seeking the coveted Biscayne Bay Grand Slam—a genuine achievement that becomes distinctly possible during Biscayne Bay fishing charters this magical month.

Prime Biscayne Bay fishing charter dates are filling quickly for this peak season window. Contact Capt. John Long to secure your opportunity at Biscayne Bay's finest fishing of the year.
