trip description for Dock Light Fly Fishing in Jupiter

Head out after dusk with Captain Dino for this action-packed nighttime fishing adventure. Oftentimes, getting fish to go after flies is a tall order—not so with these excursions. Dock lights create the conditions for a true feeding frenzy for predatory fish like Snook, Jacks, and Tarpon, among many others. How it Works: Like moths to a light, baitfish gather in schools under dockside lanterns and specialty bulbs. And where there's bait... you know there's gonna be bigger fish looking to snag an easy meal. Snook are especially prone to feasting under the lights, along with Jacks, Lookdowns, the occasional Redfish and Snapper, and even Tarpon when they're migrating through. Usually, after you catch one or two fish out from under the lights, the spot is blown up, but luckily there are plenty of dock lights to explore in the Jupiter area! Captain Dino encourages you to bring your own gear, but he can also provide you with all the rods, reels, tackle, flys, and instructions you need to get on the fish. Please note: Flyfishing is a technique that really improves with practice. Captain Dino can provide all the necessary tips, advice, and lessons to help you out, but practicing your cast in the days leading up to the trip is always a great idea to improve your chances of hooking into your next trophy fish!
