Everything to Know About Booking a Fishing Charter in Miami

Miami Fishing Overview

Miami fishing charters offer a diverse range of fishing experiences for both novice and experienced anglers. Inshore fishing is popular for those new to the sport, with Redfish and Seatrout being the most commonly targeted species. Pros can take on more challenging fish such as Snook, Tarpon, Bonefish, and Permit. Longer trips can lead to offshore fishing, where Grouper, Amberjack, Snapper, and Tilefish can be found. The Gulf Stream also brings big game monsters like Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna.

Inshore charters are ideal for families and beginners, with calm, sheltered waters and rich fishing spots close to shore. Nearshore reef fishing is perfect for loading up on delicious fish, and a few extra hours can make a significant difference. Full-day trips are recommended for exploring the world-class fishing grounds of ""Sailfish Alley.""

Miami has a plethora of charter boats available, with Blue Lagoon being a popular starting spot for inshore fishing. Licenses are typically included in charter packages, but it's important to be aware of Atlantic Coast seasons and bag limits, which differ from the rest of the state.

Inshore Fishing in Miami

Just minutes away from high-rise condos and 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 Miami's true A-lister: the Tarpon. These Silver Kings hang out in channels, flats, and around bridge pilings as they fill up on schooling Menhaden and other baitfish snacks.

Miami inshore fishing isn't all about the saltwater, however. The city's freshwater canals are full of massive Peacock and Largemouth Bass, which put up incredible fights for landlocked species.

Deep Sea and Offshore Fishing in Miami

The fun doesn't stop in town. Just take a short boat ride from Miami, and you can be fishing hundreds of reefs, wrecks, and shallow structure, all teeming with life.

Reef & wreck trips are typically 4-6 hours long, and are excellent for taking the family out. When fishing shallow structure, there is no telling what you will catch. Grouper and Snapper species are to be expected, as well as any number of tropical fish species like Triggerfish and Jacks.

For the longer trips, you will not find closer access to the Gulf Stream than in Miami. Proximity to this ocean-wide current means species that normally take extended day trips to target can be caught on half-day to 3/4 day trips. Species like Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna, and Kingfish are all caught on these trips.

The king of offshore fishing in Miami, however, is the Mahi Mahi. Possibly the most recognizable fish in the world, these vibrant colored predators invade Miami's offshore waters in the heat of summer. There are few things more exciting that finding a floating patch of seaweed and drawing out a bull Mahi-Mahi from under it.

Popular Types of Fishing In Miami, FL

Miami fishing charters offer a variety of options for anglers of all levels. The most common types of fishing charters in Miami include deep-sea fishing, flats fishing, and backcountry fishing.

Deep-sea fishing charters take you out to the Gulf Stream, where you can catch big game fish like sailfish, marlin, and tuna. Flats fishing charters take you to the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay, where you can catch bonefish, permit, and tarpon. Backcountry fishing charters take you to the mangrove-lined channels of the Everglades, where you can catch snook, redfish, and trout.

Some of the most popular landmarks that Miami fishing charters visit include the Miami Beach Marina, the Haulover Inlet, and the Government Cut.

No matter which type of Miami fishing charter you choose, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience on the water. So grab your gear and get ready to reel in some of the most sought-after fish in the world!

Other Things To Do In Miami

Miami fishing charters are a popular attraction, but there's so much more to do in this vibrant city. Take a stroll down Ocean Drive and soak up the Art Deco architecture, or visit the iconic Miami Beach Boardwalk for stunning ocean views. For a taste of Cuban culture, head to Little Havana and enjoy authentic cuisine and live music. The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens offer a glimpse into Miami's history and stunning European-inspired gardens. For a day of family fun, visit Zoo Miami or the Miami Seaquarium. And of course, no trip to Miami is complete without a visit to South Beach, known for its white sand beaches and lively nightlife.

    Our trip with Capt. Cris was better than we could have imagined. He showed us how to catch live bait, answered any and all questions we had, and we caught our dinner for the night! Cris cleaned our fish and gave us a great recommendation for where we could take it to be cooked for us that evening. 10/10 experience. Thank you Capt. Cris!!

    We had a great time. Jason was knowledgeable. Gordon (first mate) was great. Caught a few fish, couple keepers. Only issue I had is the misguided amenities, it says there is a bathroom on board and there definitely is not a bathroom.
