trip description for Fishing for Monsters at Night in Miami

This trip is fishing for monsters. The targeted species are Cubera Snapper, Goliath Grouper and Sharks. This is the ultimate big game trip next to Sword fishing which I offer as a day trip. This trip is about focussing on catching huge fish hanging around ship wrecks. The bait consists of whole fish with the average bait weighing around 5 pounds. The gear used are big game set ups, butt rods, 50 or 80 Penn International 2 speeds spooled with 100 lb braided line, followed by 600 lb test leader to 400 lb wire leader, ending with two giant 18/0 hooks. The trip is aboard, Posiedon, my new 36’ Yellowfin center console. This boat is the ultimate in offshore, big game boats. Powered with triple 275 hp Mercury Verados, it is very fast and handles like a Lamborgini. Yellowfin is hands down the sexiest center console ever made and they haven’t changed the hull design in over a decade. The sexy hull design pushes water away from the boat making it very dry as water rarely ever comes over the rail. The hull design also provides a stable base for handling the roughest Seas. The tricked out lighting includes 6 blue underwater lights making it epic for night fishing. The brand new computer systems consists of 2 completely independent systems. The first is a 12” Garmin chart plotter with radar, GPS and a fish finder that will tell you what type of fish it is at 2000’ deep! The second system is a 12” Raymarine chart plotter with 4’ open array radar, GPS, adaptive autopilot and fish finder with side scan sonar. The Fusion BT sound system will keep the tunes and good times going. There is a head on the boat for girls and emergencies. Captain BrYan has thousands of marked fishing spots on the computers and is offshore at night about 3-5 times a week. His extensive knowledge of the Ocean, Haulover Inlet and the Intercostal Water Ways will keep you safe in any situation. The Miami Beach skyline is epic at night from a boat. There aren’t too many places in the World where you can deep Sea fish a couple miles from shore and see such a beautiful city scene. Fishing for monsters, offshore, at night in the open Ocean while enjoying the beautiful view of Miami is something all fisher persons must experience. Captain BrYan has everything you need, just bring your food and drinks, beer and glass bottles are perfectly fine too! There will be bottled waters in a cooler with ice for you on the boat. Usually Sharks are catch and release with the average fish weighing over 300 lbs. If you want to harvest a Shark that is legal, then please let Captain BrYan know prior to the day of the trip. Shark cleaning fees start at $50 and go up depending on size. Goliath Grouper is catch and release only, unless you have won a tag from FWC in the annual drawing. If you have one of these tags, please let Captain BrYan know when you book the trip. Cubera Snapper are delicious and can be harvested. Complimentary cleaning for Cuberas under 20lbs, fish over 20 lbs are $25 each to be cleaned. Vacuum packing service is provided for an additional fee to be determined depending on size of catch. This trip is for everyone, especially children and beginners! Read More

So if all else fails, which is rarely the case, Captain Christopher will make sure you get back to the dock with a cooler full of fish! Captain Christophers' brand new Dusky Center Console is 29 feet from propellor to bow.

You and Captain Chris can try and go out and catch the bait yourselves but it is also available for purchase. Captain Chris likes to tell his clients: "If time is of the essence, rather than burn time messing around catching bait, there are plenty of guys selling bait as we leave the dock and the 20-40$ is often well-spent cash head straight out to the bigger fish." But like everything else with Captain Chris, the decision is up to you! Read More

What is tiger shark fishing in Fort Lauderdale all about?

In the waters off Fort Lauderdale, the presence of tiger sharks adds a thrilling dimension to the marine ecosystem. These apex predators, known for their distinctive striped pattern and formidable reputation, frequent the deeper offshore waters along the Florida coast, including areas near Fort Lauderdale. While encounters with tiger sharks are relatively rare for most recreational anglers, the possibility of hooking into one of these powerful predators adds an element of excitement to offshore fishing expeditions in the region.

Tiger sharks are known for their voracious appetite and broad diet, which includes a wide range of prey such as fish, turtles, seals, and even other sharks. Anglers targeting tiger sharks in Fort Lauderdale may use a variety of techniques, including deep dropping with heavy-duty tackle and baiting with large chunks of fish or squid to entice strikes from these formidable predators. However, it's essential to exercise caution and adhere to responsible angling practices when targeting tiger sharks, as they are protected species in many areas and require careful handling to ensure their survival upon release.

While tiger shark encounters are relatively uncommon for recreational anglers in Fort Lauderdale, the presence of these majestic predators underscores the importance of maintaining a healthy and balanced marine ecosystem. By respecting tiger sharks and other apex predators, anglers can contribute to the conservation efforts aimed at preserving these essential species and ensuring the long-term sustainability of Fort Lauderdale's marine environment. Additionally, the thrill of encountering a tiger shark serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring diversity and natural beauty found in the waters off Fort Lauderdale's coast.

What are the most popular months to fish for tiger shark fishing in Fort Lauderdale?

In Fort Lauderdale's coastal waters, tiger sharks can potentially be encountered throughout the year, as they are known to inhabit the deeper offshore areas where water temperatures remain relatively stable. However, certain seasons may see increased tiger shark activity due to factors such as migration patterns, prey availability, and environmental conditions. Generally, the warmer months from late spring through early fall may see heightened tiger shark activity as these predators follow their prey species into shallower waters.

During the summer months, Fort Lauderdale's waters become teeming with life as baitfish, turtles, and other marine creatures become more abundant, attracting tiger sharks and other apex predators. Anglers targeting larger gamefish species offshore may encounter tiger sharks while trolling or bottom fishing in the vicinity of reefs, wrecks, and underwater structures. Additionally, tiger sharks may be more commonly encountered by divers and snorkelers exploring the region's offshore dive sites during the summer season.

While tiger sharks may be present in Fort Lauderdale's waters year-round, encounters with these majestic predators are relatively rare for most recreational anglers and beachgoers. However, it's essential for anglers and water enthusiasts to remain vigilant and exercise caution when venturing into the ocean, especially during times of increased tiger shark activity. By respecting these powerful predators and adhering to responsible ocean etiquette, anglers and beachgoers can safely enjoy Fort Lauderdale's coastal waters while marveling at the awe-inspiring diversity of marine life found in the region.

What techniques are popular for catching tiger shark fishing in Fort Lauderdale?

Tiger shark fishing in Fort Lauderdale requires specialized techniques and equipment due to the size and strength of these apex predators. Anglers targeting tiger sharks typically utilize heavy-duty tackle, including large reels, sturdy rods, and high-test fishing line, to handle the immense power of these formidable creatures. One common technique for tiger shark fishing involves deploying baited lines or rigs from a anchored or drifting boat, allowing the bait to drift naturally in the water column to attract the attention of passing tiger sharks.

Chumming is another effective technique used by anglers to attract tiger sharks to their fishing area. By dispersing a mixture of fish parts, blood, and oil into the water, anglers create a scent trail that can draw tiger sharks from a considerable distance. Once attracted, anglers may present large chunks of fresh or frozen bait, such as whole fish or large pieces of squid, to entice strikes from hungry tiger sharks. It's essential to use sturdy hooks and heavy leaders when fishing for tiger sharks to ensure they can handle the immense pressure exerted by these powerful predators.

Another popular method for targeting tiger sharks in Fort Lauderdale is deep dropping, where anglers deploy baited lines or rigs to the ocean floor in search of these elusive predators. This technique requires precision and patience, as tiger sharks are known to inhabit deep offshore areas where depths can exceed 1,000 feet. By using electric reels or manual winches, anglers can lower baited rigs to the desired depth and wait for tiger sharks to detect the scent and strike. Whether chumming, deep dropping, or deploying baited lines, tiger shark fishing in Fort Lauderdale offers anglers the opportunity for thrilling encounters with one of the ocean's most formidable predators.

What other species are popular in Fort Lauderdale?

Aside from targeting the formidable tiger shark, Fort Lauderdale's coastal waters offer anglers a diverse array of other exciting species to pursue. One popular species among anglers is the mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado. Mahi-mahi are abundant in the warm, blue waters off Fort Lauderdale's coast, particularly during the spring and summer months when they migrate through the Gulf Stream currents. Anglers targeting mahi-mahi often employ trolling techniques with brightly colored lures or rigged baits, presenting their offerings near floating debris, weed lines, or temperature breaks where these fish are known to congregate.

Another sought-after species in Fort Lauderdale's offshore waters is the sailfish, renowned for its impressive speed, agility, and striking appearance. Fort Lauderdale's strategic location along the Gulf Stream and its abundance of baitfish-rich waters make it an ideal habitat for sailfish, particularly during the winter months when these majestic predators migrate south along the coast. Anglers targeting sailfish often employ a variety of techniques, including trolling with rigged baits or artificial lures, live baiting with small fish or squid, and kite fishing to present baits at the surface where sailfish are known to feed.

For anglers seeking inshore adventures, Fort Lauderdale offers opportunities to target species such as snook, tarpon, and redfish in its intricate network of canals, mangrove-lined shorelines, and tidal flats. These prized inshore species provide exciting action on light tackle, with opportunities for sight fishing, lure casting, and live bait presentations. Whether venturing offshore in pursuit of pelagic giants or exploring the inshore waters for trophy catches, Fort Lauderdale offers a wealth of angling opportunities for enthusiasts of all levels, ensuring memorable experiences on the water.

    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.

    Absolutely amazing crew and fishing! Traveled with our four kids and decided to take a fishing trip before we went on left for a cruise out of Miami. Communication prior to trip was great and boat had plenty of space including bathroom, cooler with ice/drinks and inside area for younger children that were hot/sleepy. We caught tons of fish! Definitely would recommend this boat and crew to anyone looking for a solid boating/fishing experience!

    Hi, the overall trip was good, captain explained a lot. We were expecting another person on board to help with baiting, but the captain did it all. He greeted us at his home went to the boat and took off. The bathroom on the boat definitely needs a deep cleaning. I think the boat was too small boat for as many people we had on board to be fishing. We were always in his way or another person's way it seemed. Wish we could have caught something other than fish bait.

    Incredible experience, captain Bryan knows how to catch fish and knows where the local giants are hiding. We cought a massive 300lb sand shark and several other species, captain was generious in sharing his knowlegde and experience with us and his loyal co-captain Tilly (chihuahua) made us feel welcome and made sure we had fun. I'd reccomend cap Bryan to anyone loking to CATCH fish in Miami waters!
