The boat eases away from the dock and the city inhales—streetlights and arena glows folding into a smear of gold on black water. Above, the last of dusk loosens the day; below, lights on the boat slice the bay and pull curious shadows to the surface. Night fishing in Biscayne Bay feels like operating between two worlds: Miami’s electric skyline on one horizon, and a marine world that wakes when the crowds sleep on the other.
