Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?
Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.
Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.
Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

Key Biscayne Fishing Overview
Key Biscayne, known as the ""Island Paradise,"" is a prime destination for fishing enthusiasts seeking a world-class experience. From the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay to the depths of the Atlantic, Key Biscayne offers a diverse range of fishing opportunities. The bay is characterized by grassy flats, which provide a habitat for a variety of inshore fish species, including Redfish, Permit, Bonefish, Mackerel, Jacks, Snook, Sharks, and Tarpon. The reefs at the edge of the bay also offer a generous serving of Snappers, Groupers, Cobia, Barracuda, Hogfish, and more.
For offshore fishing, Key Biscayne is in an ideal location, with the Gulf Stream just a few miles out. Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Kingfish are common catches nearer to shore, while Blackfin Tuna, Swordfish, Sailfish, and Blue and White Marlin offer a thrilling challenge for more experienced anglers.
Inshore trips can be as short as a couple of hours, making it a great family activity. For offshore fishing, a full day on the water is recommended. All fishing charters in Key Biscayne come with fishing licenses covered for all on board, and professional guides are knowledgeable about the latest size and bag limits. Key Biscayne fishing charters are equipped to provide a variety of adventures for all types of fishing enthusiasts.
Key Biscayne Inshore Fishing
Minutes away from the loud city blocks is one of the largest and most biodiverse open water inshore fisheries on Florida's Atlantic coast. Biscayne Bay stretches from North Miami all the way down to Elliot Key close to the Southern Glades. It is impossible to fish all of this water in a year, much less a single day. Luckily, our Miami fishing charters know all the best spots. Throughout Biscayne Bay there are numerous islands, flats, cuts, canals, and channels. Here is where you'll find monster snook, permit, bonefish, redfish, and more. If you can stand the heat of summer, you'll have a chance at catching a tarpon. These Silver Kings hang out in channels, flats, and around bridge pilings as they fill up on schooling Menhaden and other baitfish.
Key Biscayne Deep Sea Fishing Charters
Only a short trip from the dock there are hundreds of reefs, wrecks, and shallow structure, all teeming with life. Reef & wreck trips are excellent for taking the family out because you can catch a variety of fish species with a relatively laid back fishing style. Fishing shallow structure can produce grouper, snapper, triggerfish, jacks, and an assortment of other reef fish.
Trolling deep offshore waters gives you the opportunity to target massive pelagic species. The Gulf Stream is an ocean current that has become well known among anglers for holding giant fish. In Key Biscayne the Gulf Stream is closer to shore than usual. Since it runs so close to shore, fish that usually require extended trips to reach prime fishing grounds can be found on just a day trip. Running out to deep bluewater means taking a shot at tuna, sailfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and billfish. Serious anglers come from all over to take advantage of the offshore opportunities in Key Biscayne. The blue marlin bite comes on strong in the summer months followed by the swordfish and sailfish in the winter. With mahi-mahi, tuna, and wahoo biting year-round, there’s always giant fish to be caught.
