What is bonito fishing in Miami Beach all about?

Bonito, also known as false albacore, are a popular and abundant species found in the waters surrounding Miami Beach. These fast-swimming pelagic fish are known for their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps, providing an exhilarating challenge for anglers of all skill levels. While bonito are often regarded as a baitfish or bycatch by some fishermen, they are highly prized by others for their aggressive strikes and fighting prowess.

One effective method for targeting bonito in Miami Beach is trolling with small spoons, feathers, or plugs at varying depths and speeds. Anglers can cover a large area of water by trolling along weed lines, current edges, or offshore structures where bonito are known to congregate. By mimicking the movement of fleeing baitfish, anglers can entice bonito into striking, providing an exciting angling experience.

Another popular technique for bonito fishing in Miami Beach is casting with light tackle from piers, jetties, or the shoreline. Anglers can use small metal lures, jigs, or even fly fishing gear to imitate the appearance and movement of small baitfish. Casting into areas with schools of baitfish or where bonito are actively feeding can increase the likelihood of enticing strikes from these fast and voracious predators. With their impressive speed and tenacity, landing a trophy-sized bonito in the waters off Miami Beach promises an exhilarating fishing adventure for anglers seeking fast-paced action on the water.

What are the most popular months to fish for bonito fishing in Miami Beach?

Bonito, often present year-round in the waters around Miami Beach, exhibit seasonal patterns that influence their abundance and behavior. While they can be encountered throughout the year, their presence may fluctuate depending on various factors such as water temperature, baitfish availability, and migratory patterns. Spring and summer are generally considered prime seasons for targeting bonito in Miami Beach, as warmer water temperatures stimulate their activity and feeding behavior.

During the spring months, bonito become more abundant as they migrate closer to shore in search of prey. Anglers can often find them in nearshore waters, particularly around reefs, wrecks, and areas with strong currents where baitfish congregate. Summer sees a continuation of this trend, with bonito remaining plentiful and actively feeding in the warm coastal waters off Miami Beach. Anglers targeting bonito during these seasons can expect fast-paced action and exhilarating battles as they reel in these powerful and acrobatic fish.

While spring and summer are peak seasons for bonito in Miami Beach, these fish can still be encountered during the fall and winter months, albeit with reduced abundance and activity levels. As water temperatures cool, bonito may migrate to deeper offshore waters or follow baitfish schools to warmer areas. However, dedicated anglers who know where to look and how to adapt their techniques can still find success in targeting bonito year-round in the waters off Miami Beach.

What techniques are popular for catching bonito in Miami Beach?

When it comes to targeting bonito in Miami Beach, anglers have several effective techniques at their disposal. One popular method is trolling with small spoons, feathers, or plugs at varying depths and speeds. Anglers typically cover a large area of water by trolling along weed lines, current edges, or offshore structures where bonito are known to congregate. By mimicking the movement of fleeing baitfish, anglers can entice bonito into striking, providing an exciting angling experience.

Another productive technique for bonito fishing in Miami Beach is casting with light tackle from piers, jetties, or the shoreline. Anglers can use small metal lures, jigs, or even fly fishing gear to imitate the appearance and movement of small baitfish. Casting into areas with schools of baitfish or where bonito are actively feeding can increase the likelihood of enticing strikes from these fast and voracious predators. Anglers should be prepared for the blistering runs and acrobatic leaps that bonito are known for, adding to the excitement of the catch.

Chumming can also be an effective tactic for attracting bonito to an area and encouraging them to feed. Anglers can use a mixture of ground-up fish or commercial chum products to create a scent trail in the water, drawing bonito closer to the boat or shore. Once bonito are attracted to the chum slick, anglers can cast bait or lures into the feeding frenzy to entice strikes. By employing a combination of trolling, casting, and chumming techniques, anglers can increase their chances of hooking into bonito and enjoy an exhilarating fishing experience in the waters off Miami Beach.

What other species are popular in Miami Beach?

Aside from bonito, Miami Beach offers anglers a diverse range of other species to target, ensuring exciting fishing opportunities throughout the year. One popular catch among local fishermen is the king mackerel, prized for its powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. King mackerel, also known as kingfish, are commonly found in nearshore and offshore waters, particularly around bait-rich areas such as reefs, wrecks, and artificial structures. Anglers often target king mackerel by trolling with live bait or fast-moving lures, enticing them with the promise of an easy meal. These sleek predators provide an exhilarating challenge for anglers of all skill levels and are a favorite catch for many fishermen in Miami Beach.

Another sought-after species in Miami Beach is the mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado, prized for its vibrant colors and delicious flesh. Mahi-mahi are commonly found in offshore waters, particularly around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures. Anglers often target mahi-mahi by trolling with brightly colored lures or rigged baits, as well as casting with live bait or artificial lures, providing an exhilarating challenge for those seeking fast-paced action on the water.

In addition to king mackerel and mahi-mahi, Miami Beach waters are home to a variety of other sought-after species, including snapper, grouper, and sailfish. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or the shoreline, anglers can explore the diverse habitats and fishing grounds around Miami Beach to pursue their preferred species. With its abundant marine life and scenic coastal vistas, Miami Beach offers anglers of all skill levels the opportunity to reel in a memorable catch and enjoy the thrill of fishing in this vibrant coastal paradise.

    Caught a ~25 lb blackfin tuna and a 9ft 2inch great white

    My son and I went on a 4 hour fishing trip from Pompano Beach through the Hillsboro Beach Inlet. Captain Dave and mate Tom crewed the boat. They were both professional and very friendly. They made us feel welcome immediately and Captain Dave in particular showed interest in my son who had not been on a deep sea trip previously. They both made the utmost efforts to find us fish. They told us that the morning trip had been pretty quite but they did a lot to find fish, which they did. We ended up landing 5 fish of different species and Tom was kind enough as well as skilled enough to clean the Mahi Mahi and Black Tuna for us to take with us. I would definitely go out with them again the next time we go.

    I've been out on charters many, many times mostly down the east coast but also in Cabo. I must say the trip out with captain Manny is one of the two best trips out I've ever experienced. Her out is on fish, Jordan (the mate) ensured the rods and basis were correct and ready to catch fish. This was just a half day trip but next trip I'm going full day. Wow, I highly recommend Captain Manny!!!!! The catch highlights have to include the 54" barracuda and a 7' shark (it took two of us tag teaming and over 30 minutes to bring the shark alongside the boat for measurement.

    Jedidiah was unavailable to take us out fishing, but his friend Matt was able fill in. Matt was excellent company, very knowledgeable about fishing, and the various species within these waters. We had a wonderful time and if Matt is a representation of the people Jedidiah keeps for company, then I have no doubt he would be as equally wonderful to go fishing with, 10/10.

    Capt Jed is a professional, responsible seaman. He took us the where the fish are and got us hooked up. He is personable and worked hard to make sure we took home dinner and more. We would be happy to have him Capt for us anytime.

    Taylor was amazing! He knew exactly what he was doing; the spots to go to, which bait to use to catch certain fish, and how to set up each individual line. He also knew when each line would be hooked or something was biting, even when we couldn’t see it. We ended up with one big catch that broke the line as we spent what felt like hours fighting it. Even though we didn’t end up feeling anything in, it was still a great experience out on the water, talking about a range of topics with Taylor. We would definitely come back and book with Taylor and Wicked Cuda again!

    Breyhauna J. with Taylor S. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

    I would 100% recommend a trip with Jedidiah. No doubt he knows the waters and how to get on the fish, but was also very good with our two younger anglers who had a memorable, successful and exciting experience. King Mackerel were biting and they were just a couple minutes off shore. Thanks Jedidiah and hope to book another one with you in the future!

Definitely would recommend this boat and crew to anyone looking for a solid boating/fishing experience!
