trip description for Nighttime Flyfishing Special in Jupiter

Head out with Captain Craig to fly fish the inshore waters around Jupiter, FL at night, when boat traffic is minimal, the water is calm, and the fish are hungry. Nighttime is a great time to catch prizewinning fish, which can be more aggressive at night when they're at less risk of getting eaten themselves. To find these fish, you'll cast towards dock lights where the fish congregate, and then get ready to set your hook! Fly fishing at night is a unique fishing experience, and definitely something to check off your bucket list whether you're an experienced fly angler or a conventional fisherman looking to try something new. You'll be targeting the Florida classics: Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon. These gamefish love to come out at night, so you'll have many opportunities to cast at trophy specimens under the dock lights! On the night of the trip, you'll be fishing from Captain Craig's 24' Travis bay boat, powered by a 250HP Suzuki. It's a perfect craft for fishing this inshore area, and is decked out with everything you need for a comfortable and successful trip. Captain Craig will bring all the gear, including fly rods, reels, bait, and tackle. All you need to remember is proper clothing—there's no sunscreen necessary for this night trip! Read More

    Captain Craig was an excellent guide and has the heart of a teacher! He lead us to all the spots where fish were biting and taught my teenage son, who didn’t even want to come out, what a great time the outdoors can be. The entire CaptainExperiences.com was very easy and excellent communication all throughout the process. If anyone is on the fence they should just do it!

    Capt' Bob offered us a great trip at a last minute notice. We went out of Riviera Beach Inlet which we found easily through google maps.Once locating Capt.

Oh by the way I brought my daughter, son-in-law and grandson (12 years of age and very inquisitive). All had a positive experience and we landed two sail fish over the course of the day. All in all my experience with the family rates 5 starts. Here's a boast that is the reel deal!!!
