START TIME DISCLAIMER: 4hr trip start at 8am and 12pm. 6hr trips start at 8am and 1pm. 8hr trips start at 8am only! The all-day trip is my favorite trip, it gives us a lot of time to try a bunch of different tactics to make the day as productive as possible. We can run offshore and look for birds and debris chasing mahi mahi, troll on the edge of the reef for wahoo sailfish and tuna, drop on wrecks for snappers and groupers. I usually will talk to the customers and put a game plan together to make there fishing experience as memorable as possible. In the 3/4 day trip, it allows us to do more than the half day trip. That includes trolling, live bait, kite fishing, bottom fishing, deep dropping, or shark fishing. Our fishery in south Florida changes throughout the year so we can run offshore for mahi or bottom fish for snappers or groupers. We usually like to talk to the customers about what they would like to target and what is in season and make a game plan from that. We like to fish hard and have fun doing it! In our half day trips depending on time of year or target species. We will troll, live bait, bottom fish, shark fish, or Kite fish. We will usually stay within 2 miles of the beach where most of the bait fish and bottom fish are. But we usually like to target whatever fish that are biting that time of year or whatever the customer would like to catch. Read More

What is cobia fishing in Miami Beach all about?

Cobia, also known as ling or lemonfish, are a prized catch among anglers in Miami Beach. These large and powerful fish are known for their strength and fighting ability, making them a thrilling target for fishermen of all skill levels. Cobia can be found in both nearshore and offshore waters around Miami Beach, often frequenting areas with structure such as reefs, wrecks, and buoys.

One effective method for targeting cobia in Miami Beach is sight fishing. Anglers scan the surface of the water for cobia cruising near the surface or following large marine animals such as rays or sharks. Once spotted, anglers cast bait or lures to entice strikes from these curious fish. Live bait such as mullet, pinfish, or eels, as well as artificial lures like bucktail jigs or swimbaits, can be effective in enticing cobia to strike.

Another popular technique for cobia fishing in Miami Beach is bottom fishing near wrecks or artificial reefs. Anglers anchor near these structures and deploy live or cut bait to attract cobia lurking in the vicinity. Cobia are opportunistic feeders and will readily take a variety of baits, including live baitfish, squid, or crabs. Fishing near wrecks or reefs increases the likelihood of encountering cobia, as these structures provide shelter and forage opportunities for these predatory fish. With their impressive size and tenacious fighting ability, landing a trophy-sized cobia in the waters off Miami Beach promises an exhilarating fishing adventure for anglers.

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

Cobia seasons in Miami Beach are influenced by various factors, including water temperature, migration patterns, and regulatory measures. These seasons can vary from year to year, but typically, the prime time for targeting cobia in Miami Beach falls during the spring and early summer months. As the water temperatures rise during this period, cobia become more active and migrate closer to the coast, providing anglers with ample opportunities to encounter them.

Springtime, particularly from March to May, is often considered the peak season for cobia fishing in Miami Beach. During this period, cobia are known to move into nearshore waters, following baitfish schools and cruising along the coastline. Anglers can target cobia using a variety of techniques, including sight fishing, bottom fishing near structure, and trolling along coastal waters. This time of year offers favorable conditions for anglers to reel in trophy-sized cobia and enjoy the thrill of battling these powerful fish.

While spring is the primary season for cobia in Miami Beach, they can still be encountered throughout the year, albeit with varying abundance and activity levels. During the summer months, cobia may continue to be present in nearshore waters, but they might also migrate to deeper offshore waters as water temperatures increase. Anglers who are familiar with cobia migration patterns and habitat preferences can adapt their techniques accordingly to maximize their chances of success year-round. Additionally, staying updated on any changes to regulations or seasonal closures is essential for anglers looking to target cobia responsibly and sustainably in the waters off Miami Beach.

What techniques are popular for catching cobia in Miami Beach?

When it comes to targeting cobia in Miami Beach, anglers employ various techniques to increase their chances of success. One effective method is sight fishing, particularly during the spring and early summer months when cobia migrate closer to the coast. Anglers scan the surface of the water for cobia cruising near the surface or following large marine animals such as rays or sharks. Once spotted, anglers cast bait or lures to entice strikes from these curious fish. Live bait such as mullet, pinfish, or eels, as well as artificial lures like bucktail jigs or swimbaits, can be effective in enticing cobia to strike.

Another popular technique for cobia fishing in Miami Beach is bottom fishing near wrecks or artificial reefs. Anglers anchor near these structures and deploy live or cut bait to attract cobia lurking in the vicinity. Cobia are opportunistic feeders and will readily take a variety of baits, including live baitfish, squid, or crabs. Fishing near wrecks or reefs increases the likelihood of encountering cobia, as these structures provide shelter and forage opportunities for these predatory fish.

Trolling can also be an effective tactic for targeting cobia in Miami Beach, particularly when fishing along coastal waters or near offshore structures. Anglers troll with large diving plugs, spoons, or skirted baits at varying speeds to cover a large area of water and attract the attention of passing cobia. This method allows anglers to explore different depths and locations until they locate the desired strike zone. By employing a combination of sight fishing, bottom fishing, and trolling techniques, anglers can increase their chances of hooking into cobia and enjoy an exhilarating fishing experience in the waters off Miami Beach.

What other species are popular in Miami Beach?

Aside from cobia, Miami Beach offers anglers a plethora of other exciting species to target throughout the year. One popular catch among local fishermen is the tarpon, renowned for its impressive size and acrobatic leaps. Tarpon can be found in the coastal waters around Miami Beach, particularly in channels, flats, and nearshore areas. Anglers often target tarpon by sight fishing with live bait or artificial lures, as well as by drift fishing with live mullet or crabs. Hooking into a tarpon promises an adrenaline-pumping battle, making it a favorite catch for many anglers in Miami Beach.

Another sought-after species in Miami Beach is the snook, prized for its strong fighting ability and popularity among anglers. Snook inhabit a variety of habitats, including mangrove-lined shorelines, bridges, and estuaries. Anglers often target snook using 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 skill, as these elusive predators are known for their selective feeding habits and ability to evade capture.

In addition to tarpon and snook, Miami Beach waters are home to a diverse array of other sought-after species, including kingfish, grouper, and mahi-mahi. 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.

    Taylor was amazing! He knew exactly what he was doing; the spots to go to, which bait to use to catch certain fish, and how to set up each individual line. He also knew when each line would be hooked or something was biting, even when we couldn’t see it. We ended up with one big catch that broke the line as we spent what felt like hours fighting it. Even though we didn’t end up feeling anything in, it was still a great experience out on the water, talking about a range of topics with Taylor. We would definitely come back and book with Taylor and Wicked Cuda again!

    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.

    April F. with Bryan M. of Miami, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    I can’t say enough good things about Carl and Dom. What a great crew. They had us on fishing within 20 minutes of leaving the harbor and we were busy the entire trip! Their expertise and guidance helped us catch literally dozens of fish and we had the best time ever. Not only were they super friendly but also had complete control when the fish got close! I can’t recommend them enough. I can’t wait for my next trip with them!
