The most common fishing techniques in Miami Beach are heavy tackle fishing, light tackle fishing, and bottom fishing but trolling and live bait fishing are popular as well.

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.

What month is best for fishing in Miami Beach?

Miami Beach Fishing Overview

Miami Beach offers a prime location for fishing charters, with access to mangroves, reefs, and warm offshore currents just a short boat ride away. Anglers can enjoy year-round bottom fishing and pelagic action, as well as inshore species such as Tarpon, Shark, Jacks, Barracuda, Snook, Cobia, Permit, Ladyfish, and more. Offshore trips offer the chance to catch Swordfish, Marlin, Tuna, Kingfish, Grouper, and Mahi Mahi. Inshore fishing is consistent year-round and offers plenty of fish in a short period of time, while offshore trips require a full day and may require venturing 15-25 miles out. Miami Beach's many marinas are home to a sea-hardened charter fleet, and fishing licenses are covered for every guest aboard as long as the captain has a valid charter captain license.

Miami Beach Inshore Fishing

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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach 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.

Miami Beach Deep Sea Fishing Charters

The fun doesn't stop in town. Just a short boat ride from Miami Beach and you can be fishing hundreds of reefs, wrecks, and shallow structure that are 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 Beach. 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 Beach, 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 Beach

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

Deep-sea fishing charters take you out to the Gulf Stream, where you can catch big game fish like sailfish, marlin, and tuna. Inshore fishing charters stay closer to shore and target species like snook, tarpon, and redfish. Flats fishing charters take you to the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay, where you can catch bonefish, permit, and tarpon.

Some of the most common fish to catch in Miami Beach include mahi-mahi, kingfish, snapper, grouper, and wahoo.

Miami Beach fishing charters often depart from landmarks like Haulover Park, Government Cut, and the Miami Beach Marina. No matter which type of fishing charter you choose, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience on the beautiful waters of Miami Beach.

    Ken is the hardest working, most knowledgeable guide in the business. Ken knows the fishery incredibly well and will not rest until you have had your fill of fishing and 100% satisfaction, he’s relentless and tireless, even after poling an entire day in 20+ mph winds, he doesn’t take a breath and is thinking ahead. If you want to fish with a true professional who absolutely embraces the love of fishing on the Florida flats, finding fish all day long, who will not stop, then Ken is your guide. I’m referring Ken to my angler friends that fully appreciate the work that goes into a successful day on the water. I’m working on my next trip with Ken already!

    Highly Recommend J.P as a fishing guide for your next trip. The Fishing was absolutely amazing with a mixed bag of Peacock Bass, Large mouth bass, and Oscar’s. Most importantly, J.P was very patient in teaching us many different techniques in catching these Fish. My wife caught over 40 fish. The bite was non stopped and J.P has all the necessary fishing equipment. Thanks for an amazing day J.P! See you soon David & Linda from New Jersey
