What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're cruising out of Miami, the city's skyline fading behind you as the open ocean beckons. Our 3/4 day trip is the sweet spot – long enough to hit the prime fishing grounds, but won't eat up your whole day. We've got room for up to 6 guests, so bring your crew or make some new fishing buddies on board. Fair warning: we don't provide grub on this trip, so pack some snacks to keep your energy up. You'll need it when you're reeling in the big ones!

We're talking about targeting some real crowd-pleasers out here. Grey Snapper for those who love a good fight, King Mackerel for the speed demons, and if we're lucky, we might tangle with some Mahi Mahi or even a Wahoo. Each species brings its own challenge, and trust me, there's nothing like the rush when that line starts singing.

How We Roll on the Water

Alright, let's talk tactics. Out here in Miami's offshore waters, we mix it up to maximize our chances. We'll likely start with some trolling – that's where we drag lines behind the boat as we cruise, perfect for nabbing those fast-moving predators like King Mackerel and Wahoo. When we hit a good spot, we might switch to bottom fishing, dropping lines straight down for snappers and other reef dwellers.

We provide all the gear you'll need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. Our crew's always on hand to show you the ropes if you're new to this, or to swap fish tales if you've been around the block. We use a mix of live bait and lures, depending on what's biting. And hey, if you've got a lucky lure, bring it along – we're all about good vibes and tight lines out here.

Fish on the Menu

Grey Snapper: Don't let the name fool you – these guys are anything but dull. Also known as Mangrove Snapper, they're the tricksters of the reef. They'll test your skills with their quick bites and strong runs. Best part? They're delicious if you're into catch-and-cook. We typically find them year-round, but summer months can be red hot for snapper action.

King Mackerel: Hold onto your hats when a King hits! These speedsters can make your reel scream like nothing else. They're most active in our waters from fall through spring, and they love to chase fast-moving baits. Watching a King skyrocket on a surface bait is pure fishing adrenaline. They can grow over 5 feet long, so be ready for a workout.

Mahi Mahi: The showstoppers of the offshore world. Mahi, also called Dorado or Dolphinfish (though they're not related to dolphins), are known for their acrobatics and stunning colors. They're most common in our warmer months, especially summer. These fish are the ultimate package – they fight hard, look amazing, and taste even better. When we find a school, it can be non-stop action that'll have you grinning for days.

Wahoo: The speed demons of the sea. Wahoo are like the sports cars of the fish world – sleek, fast, and a blast to catch. They're a bit more elusive, but when we connect, hold on tight! These fish can swim up to 60 mph and make blistering runs that'll have your arms burning. We see them more in the cooler months, and landing one is always a highlight of any trip.

Ready to Make Some Waves?

Look, whether you're dreaming of your first big catch or you're after that new personal best, our 3/4 day trip is your ticket to some serious Miami fishing action. We've got the local knowledge, the right gear, and a boat full of good vibes waiting for you.

Grey Snapper

Grey Snapper, or Mangrove Snapper, are a staple in Miami's inshore waters. These crafty fish usually run 1-3 pounds but can hit 20 pounds offshore. Look for them around structure – docks, reefs, and mangroves. They're opportunistic feeders, so patience is key. Best fishing is dawn and dusk, especially on a moving tide. Anglers love 'em for their tasty white meat and the challenge they present. They've got great eyesight and can be line-shy, so use light fluorocarbon leader. Our local trick? Chum 'em up with cut bait, then free-line a live shrimp. Let it sink naturally – these guys are smart and spook easy. When you feel that telltale tap, give it a second before setting the hook. Grey Snapper put up a good fight for their size and make excellent table fare. Just watch those teeth when you're unhooking them!

King Mackerel

King Mackerel, or Kingfish, are speed demons of the sea. These sleek predators typically run 15-30 pounds but can top 90. You'll find them in open water, often near the edge of reefs or drop-offs. They're migratory, so peak season here is July to November. Kings are famous for their blistering runs – hook one and hold on tight! Anglers love the thrill of the chase and the fight these fish put up. They're also good eating, with firm, flavorful meat. We usually troll for them at high speeds, 12-15 knots, using wire leaders – those razor-sharp teeth will slice through mono. Pro tip: use live bait like blue runners or mullet on a stinger rig. Kings often strike the tail of the bait, so that extra hook is crucial. Keep an eye out for diving birds; they'll often lead you right to a school of feeding kings.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi, also called Dorado, are the acrobats of Miami's offshore waters. These colorful fish average 15-29 pounds but can reach 87. Look for them near floating debris or weed lines in warm, blue water. They're here year-round, but fishing really heats up in summer. Mahi are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked – it's a sight you won't forget. Anglers love 'em for their fight and their looks – that electric blue and gold is something else. Plus, they're excellent eating. We usually troll for them, but sight-casting to a school is a blast. Here's a local secret: if you hook one, keep it in the water. The rest of the school will often stick around, giving you a shot at multiple fish. Mahi grow fast and reproduce quickly, so they're a great sustainable choice too.

Wahoo Fish

Wahoo are the speedsters of Miami's offshore scene. These torpedo-shaped fish typically run 3-5 feet but can reach over 8 feet and 100 pounds. You'll find them in open water, often near drop-offs or underwater structures. Best fishing is July to November, but they're around year-round. Wahoo are prized for their blistering runs – they can hit 60 mph! Anglers love the challenge and the thrill of the fight. They're also excellent eating, with firm, white meat that's perfect for grilling. We usually high-speed troll for them at 12-15 knots. Use wire leaders – their teeth are razor-sharp. Local tip: try using a plunger-style lure with a strip of fresh bonito. The vibration drives wahoo crazy. Keep your eyes peeled for bird activity; wahoo often feed under schools of tuna or dolphin. When you hook one, hang on tight and enjoy the ride!
