Meet Captain Byron Fang

Captain Byron Fang has been fishing the waters of Miami for over 13 years, gaining deep insight into the region’s unique freshwater and saltwater ecosystems. Raised around South Florida’s canals, lakes, and coastal flats, he grew up learning how to read water, adjust to shifting conditions, and connect anglers with the fish that call this area home. That experience translates into every guided trip, where precision, patience, and a passion for fishing shine through. Whether targeting peacock bass in the city or cruising shallow flats for tarpon and snook, Captain Byron brings unmatched local expertise to every outing.

What sets Captain Byron apart isn’t just his knowledge—it’s his approach. He specializes in sight fishing and light tackle, offering a hands-on experience where guests are fully involved in the process. With fly gear, spinning rods, or baitcasters in hand, anglers of all skill levels can expect a guided trip that’s both educational and exciting. He’s equally at ease coaching first-timers and refining techniques for seasoned anglers, making every trip feel like time on the water with a trusted friend who knows exactly where the fish are—and how to find them.

Over the years, he’s developed a reputation not only for putting people on fish, but for creating a relaxed, focused environment where each cast feels intentional. From stalking bonefish and permit on the flats to hunting bullseye snakehead and clown knifefish in hidden canals, his goal is to help guests experience Miami fishing at its most authentic. Every trip is built around the conditions and your goals, with an emphasis on technique, timing, and the thrill of the hunt.
