There are plenty of options for you:
If you want to fly fish/light tackle in the Miami area from a skiff - start with Mark Krowka - he is absolutely the best ... he had a house in Dania as well as in Islamorada, he may have moved to Islamorada full time, but look him up, he is tops. Mark is often booked, so he may refer you to another captain that is really good.
Another flats guide Joe Gonzalez is a great captain as well. He is definitely worth looking up if Mark is booked.
There are a ton of other flats guides, if neither of these two work for you, and don't have good references, let me know.
Other Tarpon options in the Miami area not flats focused:
If you want to fish tarpon but from the cuts, etc. ... check Captain Bouncer Smith - he is one of the best, Bouncer fishes out of a 27 or 29 foot Dusky, fishes the cuts, etc. ... but not sure if he fly fishes.
Another captain similar to Bouncer is Dennis Forgione ... he fishes similar to the way that Bouncer does ... he is another top tier captain like Dennis.
I only met Joe Gonzalez like once, but know the other three very well ... they are all really good.
I can come up with other suggestions if you like ... but it all depends upon your availability and where you are open to traveling.
The tarpon fishing out of Fort Lauderdale is mostly live bait fishing out of the inlets, as well as fishing in the canals during low light periods (when boat traffic is down) or possibly intercepting schools moving north up the beach during tarpon season. Miami has a few more options than Fort Lauderdale as you can go down to Biscayne Bay and fish the flats ... but the fishing outside of Govt Cut, etc., can find a lot of fish around too ... fish will be moving up the coast after the run along the cuts and channels of Biscayne Bay north.
There are a lot more options for captains/guides and for styles of fishing, mostly depends upon where and how you want to fish.
Also, a little more north is a captain out of Jupiter who is active on this board, George Labonte ... if you want to try fishing with him.
I can provide more insight if you want. Let me know.
