trip description for Miami Premier Fishing in Miami

Captain John is located at the exciting Bayside Marketplace and Marina right in the heart of downtown Miami and just 5 minutes away from South Beach (just over MacArthur Causeway). Fish the Waters of Miami and Key Biscayne for some of the world's most prized sport fish! These trips are fantastic because there is only a short run to the fishing grounds. The water gets deep two miles offshore as you pass South Beach and Key Biscayne just off Miami. This means that you can still expect to chase down Sailfish, Kingfish, Blackfin Tuna, and other species on a short trip. The boat offers all types of tackle, from ultra-light to monster tackle. Everything is supplied for your trip except catering (beverages and/or food). Catering is easily arranged when you place your reservation. The boat features a fighting chair, rocket launcher, outriggers, and a large bait well. For your comfort in the air-conditioned saloon, there is a 32" flat-screen TV, stereo, comfortable seating with head and galley, and stateroom down. Your guide, Captain John, has been fishing the local and Bahamian waters for over thirty years, and he will ensure you have a pleasant trip. Bayside Marketplace, our place of departure, is in the heart of renovated downtown Miami and the Mall is host to the Hard Rock Cafe, Hooters, and a myriad of cafes and boutiques. From this dock, it is a short and interesting ride to the ocean past cruise ships at Dodge Island and million-dollar homes that are dotted around the channels and cuts. Read More

Join Captain Manuel "Manny" Sivina and his incredible crew for a fishing trip of a lifetime perfectly tailored to your needs from Sport Fishing and Fishing Tours for Families with kids and couples to team building and corporate tours Deep Sea Fishing Miami has something for everyone. Step on this offshore Sport Fishing Newton Boat and get ready for an adventure of a lifetime. This "Battle Wagon offers you all the comforts of home. Offshore fishing involves running further offshore in or near the Gulfstream. Many might think that this would be miles and miles from shore and in the Northeastern part of the United States it is 100 miles out but in reality, it is only two miles off the shores of Miami Beach. Many of the fish that anglers look to fish for live in the warmer waters within the Gulfstream’s current. This means that the Tuna, Marlin, Swordfish, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi and other fish are located just a few minutes away. Fishing methods vary depending on what you are looking for but the method most used is trolling. Trolling is having one or more fishing lines are in the water at one time baited with either lures or bait fish while the boat is moving. Trolling is a great method because it covers a lot of area and the more chances of getting on the fish. Trolling is great for catching; Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo,Kingfish, Barracuda, Sailfish and the elusive but fun to catch Billfish. Another method is for the Captain to troll around looking for birds and debris as this is a good indicator of fish in the area, especially Mahi Mahi. The Mahi-Mahi are best caught during the summer months but their season runs from early April to Late September. November to May is the time to come down to South Florida for your best chances to hook a sailfish. The winter months of December to February are the optimal months. Pick from a half-day. 3/4 day, or full day adventure to satisfy your thrill seeking desires! On this trip you will be trolling the Miami Coast in pursuit of the legendary bounty known to this area! For half-day trips you will be venturing 3-8 miles offshore, 3/4 day 3-12 miles, and full day 3-15 or wherever the bite takes you! The Captain and Mate will provide you with top quality fishing equipment including conventional and spinning tackle ranging from 10 to 130 lb class. When it comes to cleaning and filleting the catch.

What is spanish mackerel fishing in Pompano Beach all about?

In Pompano Beach, Florida, anglers find excitement in targeting the swift and aggressive Spanish mackerel, a popular species known for its fast-paced action and delicious taste. Spanish mackerel frequent the nearshore waters of Pompano Beach, often found near reefs, jetties, and other underwater structures where baitfish congregate. These sleek predators are easily recognizable by their streamlined bodies, iridescent blue-green backs, and silver sides adorned with rows of dark spots.

Anglers targeting Spanish mackerel in Pompano Beach employ a variety of techniques to entice strikes from these voracious feeders. One common method is trolling with small spoons, plugs, or feathered lures behind a boat. Anglers troll at moderate speeds along the edges of reefs and channels, covering a large area of water to locate schools of feeding mackerel. When Spanish mackerel are feeding near the surface, anglers may also cast and retrieve shiny metal lures or brightly colored jigs to trigger aggressive strikes.

Spanish mackerel fishing in Pompano Beach is particularly productive during the cooler months, from fall through spring, when these fish migrate along the coastline in search of prey. However, they can be caught year-round in Pompano Beach's temperate waters. Whether trolling, casting, or jigging, targeting Spanish mackerel offers anglers of all skill levels the chance to enjoy fast-paced action and the opportunity to reel in these feisty fish amidst the scenic backdrop of Florida's coastal waters.

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

In Pompano Beach, Florida, anglers can target Spanish mackerel throughout the year, but their abundance and activity levels vary with the changing seasons. Generally, the peak seasons for Spanish mackerel fishing in Pompano Beach occur during the cooler months, from fall through spring. As temperatures drop, Spanish mackerel migrate along the coastline in search of prey, making them more accessible to anglers nearshore and inshore.

During the fall months, from September to November, Pompano Beach experiences an uptick in Spanish mackerel activity as water temperatures begin to cool. This period marks the start of the fall migration, with mackerel moving southward along the coast in large schools. Anglers targeting Spanish mackerel during this season can expect productive fishing opportunities near reefs, jetties, and other structure-rich areas where mackerel congregate to feed.

Similarly, the spring months, from March to May, also offer excellent Spanish mackerel fishing in Pompano Beach. As temperatures warm up and baitfish populations increase, Spanish mackerel become more active and aggressive in their feeding behaviors. Anglers can expect to encounter schools of mackerel nearshore and inshore, providing plenty of action for anglers trolling, casting, or jigging for these swift predators. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or the shoreline, targeting Spanish mackerel during the fall and spring seasons offers anglers a rewarding experience and the chance to reel in these feisty fish amidst the picturesque backdrop of Florida's coastal waters.

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

In Pompano Beach, Florida, anglers employ various techniques to target the swift and aggressive Spanish mackerel, a prized species known for its fast-paced action and delicious taste. One effective method for catching Spanish mackerel is trolling with small spoons, plugs, or feathered lures behind a boat. Anglers troll at moderate speeds along the edges of reefs, jetties, and channels, covering a large area of water to locate schools of feeding mackerel. When Spanish mackerel are feeding near the surface, anglers may also cast and retrieve shiny metal lures or brightly colored jigs to trigger aggressive strikes.

Another popular technique for catching Spanish mackerel in Pompano Beach is live bait fishing. Anglers often deploy live baitfish such as pilchards, mullet, or cigar minnows rigged with a small treble hook or jighead. These baitfish are typically presented near the surface or drifted along the edges of reefs and channels where Spanish mackerel are known to feed. Live bait fishing requires patience and attentiveness, as anglers must carefully monitor their baits and be prepared to react quickly when a mackerel strikes. This method is particularly effective when targeting larger Spanish mackerel that may be less interested in artificial lures.

In addition to trolling and live bait fishing, anglers targeting Spanish mackerel in Pompano Beach may also employ casting techniques. This involves casting small spoons, jigs, or topwater lures into areas where mackerel are feeding near the surface or chasing baitfish. Anglers must accurately cast their lures into the feeding frenzy and employ a fast and erratic retrieve to mimic the movements of fleeing baitfish, enticing strikes from aggressive mackerel. Whether trolling, live bait fishing, or casting, targeting Spanish mackerel in Pompano Beach offers anglers an exciting challenge and the opportunity to reel in these swift predators amidst the scenic backdrop of Florida's coastal waters.

What other species are popular in Pompano Beach?

Besides targeting Spanish mackerel, Pompano Beach offers anglers a diverse range of other species to pursue, ensuring an exciting fishing experience. One popular option is the mighty king mackerel, known for its powerful runs and aggressive strikes. Anglers often target king mackerel by trolling with live bait or artificial lures along the nearshore reefs and offshore structures. These pelagic predators can grow to impressive sizes, providing anglers with thrilling battles as they attempt to land these prized game fish.

Another prized species found in the waters off Pompano Beach is the elusive sailfish, prized by anglers for its speed and acrobatic leaps. Pompano Beach sits along the edge of the Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current that serves as a migratory route for sailfish and other pelagic species. Anglers targeting sailfish often employ trolling techniques with large baitfish or artificial lures, particularly during the winter months when sailfish populations peak in the area. Landing a sailfish requires patience, skill, and teamwork, making it a memorable achievement for anglers of all levels.

For those seeking inshore action, Pompano Beach also boasts plentiful populations of snook and tarpon. Snook, with their stealthy nature and hard-hitting strikes, offer anglers the chance to target these prized game fish along the mangrove-lined shores, bridges, and tidal creeks. Tarpon, on the other hand, provide anglers with adrenaline-pumping encounters as they leap and thrash during spirited battles. Pompano Beach's coastal flats and channels serve as prime habitat for tarpon, particularly during the spring and summer months when these silver giants migrate along the coast in search of baitfish. Whether targeting king mackerel, sailfish, snook, tarpon, or any other species, Pompano Beach offers a wealth of opportunities for anglers to enjoy a memorable day on the water.

    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.
