Fishing of Miami Beach has been super hot this month and it's starting to pick up one spring time gets here all hell's going to break loose mahi-mahi wahoo, black fin tuna are just starting to heat up trolling in live. Bathing has been the best methods. I recommend a three-quarter day or full day it just gives you that little bit of extra time to get you on the fish.

Last January as we started our morning out we were running along the coast when I saw a big dark shape. It turned out to be a giant school of the largest bluefish I've ever seen. Bluefish aren't a fish we target in south Florida, but I would if they were like these. We caught over a dozen and probably lost just as many. But each one was bigger than any other bluefish I'd ever seen off Miami. We were just releasing them, but it turned out we could have had the state record beat. State record was just over...
Last January as we started our morning out we were running along the coast when I saw a big dark shape. It turned out to be a giant school of the largest bluefish I've ever seen. Bluefish aren't a fish we target in south Florida, but I would if they were like these. We caught over a dozen and probably lost just as many. But each one was bigger than any other bluefish I'd ever seen off Miami. We were just releasing them, but it turned out we could have had the state record beat. State record was just over 20 pounds and we had a bunch bigger than that. Unfortunately, I have seen them since that morning.
Nicest yellowfin I've ever gotten off of Miami Beach in 280 feet of water 1 mile south of Haulover cut literally just offshore trolling our regular spread he ate the left long ballyhoo on our 30 wide fish hit at 10:20 AM and we did not land this fish until almost 3 PM off of Port Everglades. It was a half-day 8 AM to noon. We didn't end up getting back to the dock till 4 PM with channel 7 news waiting for us that that's probably one of the nicest catches I've done off of Miami I do not...

This September off the Islamorada hump we caught an estimate 200-250lb blue marlin on 20lb line He ate the short bait behind the boat and went ballistic! Right in front of the whole fleet fishing at the hump. Epic! We landed him in 45 minutes on a shimano TLD 25.

These beasts were landed just after hurricane Ian ran through. We headed out early on the day after land fall. Pilchards had moved into the creaks by the thousands making for easy bait opportunities. After one throw we loaded up on jumbo razors . Then headed to some wrecks just passed the reefs in Islamorada. The water was milky but calm , stirred up from the week of high winds . On the first drift we hooked the first monster on one of the lighter rods with a 20 pound leader . After a nearly 20 min battle we were...
These beasts were landed just after hurricane Ian ran through. We headed out early on the day after land fall. Pilchards had moved into the creaks by the thousands making for easy bait opportunities. After one throw we loaded up on jumbo razors . Then headed to some wrecks just passed the reefs in Islamorada. The water was milky but calm , stirred up from the week of high winds . On the first drift we hooked the first monster on one of the lighter rods with a 20 pound leader . After a nearly 20 min battle we were finally gaining back line . Finally we made it to the weight and I Began carefully hand lining the fish to the boat . Finally after we got the gaff in angler and Captain both let put a sigh of relief followed by the crack of several high fives between all aboard the Papa Jack 4 ! Best part is second drop we boated a second pompano shortly after . This time rigged a bit heavier ! Between the multiple cold fronts and north to North west winds . It has made for perfect condition for targeting shallow water mutton's . We have had several double digit keeper mutton trips and even seeing a few over 20 pounds . Additionally having shots at everything from red grouper , Goliath grouper , lane snapper , and mackerel in between mutton's bites. Keeping the box full of variety and keeping anglers rods bent. We also had a few gulf trips later in the month in beautiful calm seas . Where the Spanish mackerel run has kept drags screaming and everyone with a perm-a grin ! In addition to jumbo mangroves , and even some Cobia opportunities. Over all the new year has been full of great action and many memories made aboard the Papa Jack 4. We looked forward to seeing what the rest of this winter season has to offer !
Cold front temperatures are from the high 70s to low 60s but on the temperature up side fish are feeding hard from adult size tarpon to large snook considering temperatures in the rest of the country Florida Keys are a great escape.

You might get lucky (as long as things are in-season).

Kevin was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided easy step by step instruction instructions while fighting 2 - 5 foot lemon sharks in less than 1/2 hour before daylight faded. Both were unkooked boat side with great video and pictures. His boat is clean and organized making it safe and easy to move around the boat while battling a catch of a lifetime for 2 Wisconsinites. Thanks Kevin. See you soon.
My wife, my son, and i went on a 4 hour Everglades trip with Jose and it was one of the highlights of our vacation. We caught probably 40-50 fish in 4 hours! Jose was incredibly friendly and entertaining. I would absolutely pay to fish with him again.
Great experience with captain Anthony! My Wife and I totally enjoyed our adventure and company with Anthony. Totally recommend if you’re out here in Miami Florida. We visited from CT and totally worth the drive and look
Forward to coming back and taking another ride! Clean boat, great company, encouraging personality, and welcoming! Thank you again Anthony for the great wrap to our trip!!!
Quick trip to Miami over the Father’s Day Weekend!
Father, son, daughter fishing trip with Chris.
Great trip, Chris took are of all our needs, put us on fish, not everyone landed the fish we hooked up on, had Kings break us off, fun nonetheless.
Did manage to land lunch, nice 20-25lb African Pompano, great eating.
Had a Great Tine, we’ll definitely book Chris the next time I’m down visiting my daughter💪🏼🎣
Anthony is an amazing guide. We caught so many different kinds of fish - it exceeded all of my expectations. He was great with my kiddo who had the time of his life. I truly appreciated all of his knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend a tour with Anthony - you will love every moment.
