Trip includes all the gear, bait, tackle, licenses, rods/reels and coolers with ice. Deckhands are there with you to help you in using the equipment and catching the fish. They can teach you if you don't have experience. We're targeting numbers of fish over size of fish on this trip to maximize action for everyone and we usually do quite well. It's still fishing but even on slow days most people bring home a few. Whatever you catch is yours to keep and when we get back to the dock, our deckhands offer free fish cleaning and we have fish bags and ice for you to take your fish home. Our techniques are either drift fishing or anchor fishing, both are very similar forms of bottom fish fishing. We are using cut bait such as squid, ballyhoo and sardines and all this is provided. We're fishing about a mile offshore where it starts to get deep and we fish the reefs, wrecks, patch reefs, buoys and current edges where we know the fish are. We've been doing this for over 40 years in the same location and we fish every single day on the same schedule. Give us a try and we'd love to have you out with us. Read More

What is spanish mackerel fishing in Miami Beach all about?

Spanish mackerel, known for their fast-paced action and delicious meat, are a popular target for anglers in Miami Beach. These sleek and predatory fish can be found in the nearshore and offshore waters of Miami Beach, particularly around reefs, jetties, and other structures where baitfish congregate. Spanish mackerel are known for their aggressive strikes, making them an exciting catch for anglers of all skill levels.

One effective method for targeting Spanish mackerel in Miami Beach is trolling with small spoons, plugs, or feathered lures. Anglers often cover a large area of water by trolling along weed lines, current edges, or offshore structures where Spanish mackerel are known to congregate. By varying the trolling speed and depth, anglers can mimic the movement of fleeing baitfish and entice strikes from these voracious predators.

Another popular technique for Spanish mackerel fishing in Miami Beach is casting with light tackle from piers, jetties, or the shoreline. Anglers can use small metal lures, jigs, or even live baitfish to imitate the appearance and movement of the Spanish mackerel's preferred prey. Casting into areas with schools of baitfish or where Spanish mackerel are actively feeding can increase the likelihood of enticing strikes. With their impressive speed and tenacious fighting ability, landing a trophy-sized Spanish mackerel in the waters off Miami Beach promises an exhilarating fishing experience for anglers.

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

Spanish mackerel can be found in the waters around Miami Beach throughout the year, but their abundance and behavior can vary depending on the season. Spring and summer are generally considered prime seasons for targeting Spanish mackerel in Miami Beach. As the water temperatures warm up during these months, Spanish mackerel become more active and move into shallower waters near reefs, jetties, and other structures to feed.

During the spring months, Spanish mackerel migrate closer to shore in search of prey, making them more accessible to anglers fishing from boats, piers, or the shoreline. Anglers can often find them in nearshore waters, particularly around areas with strong currents or abundant baitfish. Summer sees a continuation of this trend, with Spanish mackerel remaining plentiful and actively feeding in the warm coastal waters off Miami Beach. Anglers targeting Spanish mackerel during these seasons can expect fast-paced action and exhilarating battles as they reel in these speedy and aggressive fish.

While spring and summer are peak seasons for Spanish mackerel 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, Spanish mackerel 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 Spanish mackerel year-round in the waters off Miami Beach.

What techniques are popular for catching spanish mackerel in Miami Beach?

When it comes to targeting Spanish mackerel in Miami Beach, anglers have several effective techniques at their disposal. One popular method is trolling with small spoons, plugs, or feathered lures. Anglers often cover a large area of water by trolling along weed lines, current edges, or offshore structures where Spanish mackerel are known to congregate. By varying the trolling speed and depth, anglers can mimic the movement of fleeing baitfish and entice strikes from these voracious predators.

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

Chumming can also be an effective tactic for attracting Spanish mackerel 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 Spanish mackerel closer to the boat or shore. Once Spanish mackerel 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 Spanish mackerel and enjoy an exhilarating fishing experience in the waters off Miami Beach.

What other species are popular in Miami Beach?

Aside from Spanish mackerel, Miami Beach offers anglers a wide variety of other species to target, ensuring diverse and exciting fishing opportunities. One popular catch among local fishermen is the snook, prized for its tenacious fighting ability and popularity among anglers. Snook can be found in a variety of habitats, including mangrove-lined shorelines, bridges, and estuaries. Anglers targeting snook often use live bait such as shrimp or mullet, as well as artificial lures like jigs or soft plastics, to entice strikes. Snook fishing requires patience and skill, as these elusive predators are known for their selective feeding habits and ability to evade capture.

Another sought-after species in Miami Beach is the tarpon, revered for its massive size and impressive aerial displays. Tarpon are commonly found in nearshore and offshore waters, particularly around bridges, channels, and flats. Anglers often target tarpon by sight fishing with live bait or artificial lures, as well as by drift fishing with live mullet or crabs. Hooking into a tarpon promises an adrenaline-pumping battle, as these powerful fish are known for their long runs and acrobatic leaps.

In addition to snook and tarpon, Miami Beach waters are home to a variety of other sought-after species, including grouper, mahi-mahi, and wahoo. 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.

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

    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.

    Some times you are fortunate to meet people that leave a deep impression an impregnation on you. Captain Mark is one of these rare persons. I was fortunate to go fishing with him today and we had a blast. He is so kind, so full of knowledge, that I do recommend going fishing with him. His repeated actions around the wounded warrior project are a tribute to his care about his peers and good people in general.

    Had an absolute blast with Captain Chris! He was so nice and his passion and love for fishing made my bachelorette trip worthwhile! Our crew got to catch some great mackerel, yellowtail snapper and mutton snapper, plus more! Being able to celebrate my love for fishing and send off in the Keys with my gfs and Chris was the best! He got me on a huge tarpon hook up that I’ll absolutely never forget. Highly highly recommend this trip and we’ll certainly be back!!!

    Our trip with Anthony totally exceeded our expectations. From the moment we met him we knew we were in for a wonderful experience. His equipment is all first class and his knowledge of the back bay is extensive. After putting us on many fish and constant action, we were able to catch a beautiful snook for the dinner table and a fish that was a trophy fish of a lifetime. He then suggested a local restaurant and suggestions on how to prepare our catch. The ambiance, service and food preparation was the best meal of our entire trip. We would highly recommend Captain Anthony and love to spend more time with him whenever possible.

    We had a great full day trip with Captain Chris. Chris really helped my wife with his patience and encouragement fight big fish in deep water and use lighter tackle at the shallower wreck. She landed nice yellowtail, yellow jack, mackerel and amberjack. Chris worked hard all day keeping us in fish and rigged as the shark tax was high though the morning. At the end of the day we got great local restaurant recommendations and tips on cooking our catch. Loved the boat playlist! Highly recommend and hope to come back to fish with Chris again.

    Great work Captain Phil. Had a good time on the boat and caught fish all through the 8 hour day. Even when the bite slowed down captain phil ran all over to get back on the bite.
