Launch out of Dinner Key with Captain Christopher for an epic day experiencing everything the Miami waters have to offer! Relax with Captain Chris, everything is always under control. His local knowledge & patience for finding the fish is unparalleled, (recently landing a 400 pound Blue Marlin) made a crew of 3 women memories for a lifetime! To make sure you have the best possible charter experience, Captain Christopher is ready and rearing to do any kind of fishing you'd like to do. Whether that's chasing Swords, kite fishing for Sails, deep dropping for Tilefish, jigging, or bottom fishing! He can even guide spearfishing adventures, though you'll have to bring your own gear for that. Captain Christopher has some secret honey holes where the Snapper bite is on rain or shine. 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. The whole front of the boat is a padded lounge area, making this charter great for families and avid fishermen alike! Not to mention, she comes loaded with everything you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water from rods, reels, and tackle, to fishing licenses, ice, soft drinks and water! All you need to bring are some snacks and your shades, Captain Christopher will take care of the rest! One note is that you will get bait after meeting at the dock. 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 atlantic mackerel fishing in Miami Beach all about?

Atlantic mackerel, though not as commonly targeted as some other species, are occasionally encountered by anglers exploring the waters around Miami Beach. These fast-swimming and schooling fish are known for their distinctive silver coloration and voracious feeding habits. While Atlantic mackerel are more commonly found in colder waters, they may venture into the waters off Miami Beach during certain times of the year, particularly during the winter months when water temperatures are cooler.

One effective method for targeting Atlantic mackerel in Miami Beach is trolling with small spoons or feathered lures. Anglers can cover a large area of water by trolling at varying speeds and depths until they locate a school of mackerel. Once a school is located, anglers can continue trolling or switch to casting with lighter tackle to entice strikes. Atlantic mackerel are known for their aggressive strikes, making for an exciting fishing experience for anglers lucky enough to encounter them.

While Atlantic mackerel may not be as abundant in the waters off Miami Beach as in other regions, they offer a fun and challenging target for anglers seeking a change of pace from targeting more commonly sought-after species. Their fast-paced feeding frenzies and willingness to strike a variety of lures make them an exciting catch for anglers of all skill levels. With a bit of luck and perseverance, anglers exploring the waters around Miami Beach may find themselves reeling in these sleek and spirited fish.

What are the most popular months to fish for atlantic mackerel fishing in Miami Beach?

Atlantic mackerel sightings in Miami Beach waters are more sporadic compared to regions with colder climates where they are more commonly found. However, they tend to be more prevalent during the winter months when water temperatures in the area drop, aligning more closely with their preferred habitat. Typically, from late fall through early spring, anglers may have better chances of encountering Atlantic mackerel in the waters off Miami Beach, particularly during periods of cooler weather.

During the winter season, Atlantic mackerel may venture closer to shore in search of prey, making them more accessible to anglers fishing from boats or piers. While not as abundant as in their primary range, sightings of Atlantic mackerel in Miami Beach waters during this time can provide anglers with exciting opportunities for light-tackle fishing. Fishing near jetties, piers, or areas with structure may increase the likelihood of encountering these swift and agile fish.

As the weather begins to warm up in the spring and summer months, Atlantic mackerel sightings in Miami Beach waters become less frequent, as they tend to migrate northward to cooler waters. Anglers should focus their efforts on other species during these warmer months, while keeping an eye out for any potential signs of Atlantic mackerel activity, such as diving birds or surface disturbances, which may indicate the presence of feeding fish. Overall, while Atlantic mackerel seasons in Miami Beach may be relatively short-lived compared to other species, they offer anglers a unique and exhilarating fishing experience when they are present in the area.

What techniques are popular for catching atlantic mackerel in Miami Beach?

When targeting Atlantic mackerel in Miami Beach, anglers can employ various techniques to increase their chances of success. Trolling is a commonly used method for locating and enticing mackerel, particularly in areas with open water and currents. Anglers can use small spoons, feathered lures, or small plugs trailed behind a boat while trolling at varying speeds to mimic the movement of schooling baitfish. This method allows anglers to cover a larger area of water and locate active mackerel schools.

Another effective technique for catching Atlantic mackerel in Miami Beach is casting with light tackle from piers, jetties, or the shoreline. Anglers can use small metal lures, jigs, or even small spoons to imitate the appearance and movement of small baitfish. Casting into areas with structure or where mackerel are known to congregate, such as around pilings or rock formations, can increase the likelihood of enticing strikes from these swift and voracious predators.

Chumming can also be a successful tactic for attracting Atlantic mackerel to an area and encouraging them to feed. Anglers can use a mixture of ground-up fish or commercial chum products to create a scent trail in the water, drawing mackerel closer to the boat or shore. Once mackerel are attracted to the chum slick, anglers can cast lures or bait into the feeding frenzy to entice strikes. By employing a combination of trolling, casting, and chumming techniques, anglers can increase their chances of hooking into Atlantic mackerel and enjoy an exhilarating fishing experience in the waters off Miami Beach.

What other species are popular in Miami Beach?

Aside from Atlantic mackerel, Miami Beach offers anglers a diverse range of other species to target, ensuring exciting fishing opportunities throughout the year. One popular catch among local fishermen is the Spanish mackerel, known for its aggressive strikes and high-speed runs. Spanish mackerel are commonly found in nearshore and offshore waters, particularly around baitfish schools and areas of structure such as reefs and jetties. Anglers often target Spanish mackerel by trolling with small spoons or plugs, as well as casting with lures or live bait, providing an exhilarating challenge for those seeking fast-paced action on the water.

Another sought-after species in Miami Beach is the snook, prized for its tenacious fighting ability and popularity among anglers. Snook can be found in a variety of habitats, including mangrove-lined shorelines, bridges, and estuaries. Anglers targeting snook often use live bait such as shrimp or mullet, as well as artificial lures like jigs or soft plastics, to entice strikes. Snook fishing requires patience and precision, as these cunning predators are known for their selective feeding habits and ability to evade capture.

In addition to Spanish mackerel and snook, Miami Beach waters are home to a variety of other sought-after species, including tarpon, redfish, and grouper. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or the shoreline, anglers can explore the diverse habitats and fishing grounds around Miami Beach to pursue their preferred species. With its abundant marine life and scenic coastal vistas, Miami Beach offers anglers of all skill levels the opportunity to reel in a memorable catch and enjoy the thrill of fishing in this vibrant coastal paradise.
