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!

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 cubera snapper fishing in Miami Beach all about?

Cubera snapper, known for their formidable size and powerful fighting ability, are a prized catch among anglers in Miami Beach. These large predatory fish inhabit the reefs, wrecks, and rocky structures scattered throughout the offshore waters of Miami Beach. With their distinct reddish coloration and impressive canine-like teeth, cubera snapper are both visually striking and highly sought-after by fishermen seeking a thrilling challenge.

One effective method for targeting cubera snapper in Miami Beach is bottom fishing with live or cut bait near the structures where they congregate. Anglers often use large live baits such as mullet, pinfish, or blue runners, as well as cut bait such as squid or bonito, to entice cubera snapper into striking. Fishing near reefs, wrecks, or rocky outcrops increases the likelihood of encountering these prized fish, as they often use such areas as hunting grounds to prey on passing baitfish and crustaceans.

Cubera snapper are known for their cautious feeding habits and can be notoriously difficult to hook, requiring anglers to employ patience and finesse. Another popular technique for targeting cubera snapper in Miami Beach is vertical jigging with heavy metal jigs or large soft plastics. Anglers drop the jig down to the desired depth and jig it up and down to mimic the movement of injured baitfish. This method can be highly effective in enticing cubera snapper to strike, particularly when fishing over rocky bottoms or areas with strong currents. With their impressive size and challenging nature, landing a trophy-sized cubera snapper in the waters off Miami Beach promises an exhilarating fishing adventure for anglers of all skill levels.

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

Cubera snapper seasons in Miami Beach are influenced by various factors including water temperature, spawning patterns, and regulatory measures. Typically, the prime seasons for targeting cubera snapper in Miami Beach fall during the spring and summer months. As the water temperatures rise during this period, cubera snapper become more active and migrate closer to the coast, providing anglers with excellent opportunities to encounter them.

Springtime, particularly from March to May, is often considered the peak season for cubera snapper fishing in Miami Beach. During this period, cubera snapper move into shallower waters near reefs, wrecks, and rocky structures to spawn, making them more accessible to anglers. Anglers can expect to find cubera snapper actively feeding during this time, providing ample opportunities for thrilling battles and memorable catches.

While spring is the primary season for cubera snapper in Miami Beach, they can still be encountered throughout the year, albeit with varying abundance and activity levels. During the summer months, cubera snapper may continue to inhabit nearshore and offshore waters, particularly around structure-rich areas. Anglers who are familiar with cubera snapper habitat preferences and feeding behavior can adapt their techniques accordingly to maximize their chances of success year-round. Staying updated on any changes to regulations or seasonal closures is essential for anglers looking to target cubera snapper responsibly and sustainably in the waters off Miami Beach.

What techniques are popular for catching cubera snapper in Miami Beach?

When it comes to targeting cubera snapper in Miami Beach, anglers employ various techniques to increase their chances of success. One effective method is bottom fishing with live or cut bait near the structures where cubera snapper congregate. Anglers often use large live baits such as mullet, pinfish, or blue runners, as well as cut bait such as squid or bonito, to entice cubera snapper into striking. Fishing near reefs, wrecks, or rocky outcrops increases the likelihood of encountering these prized fish, as they often use such areas as hunting grounds to prey on passing baitfish and crustaceans.

Another popular technique for cubera snapper fishing in Miami Beach is vertical jigging with heavy metal jigs or large soft plastics. Anglers drop the jig down to the desired depth and jig it up and down to mimic the movement of injured baitfish. This method can be highly effective in enticing cubera snapper to strike, particularly when fishing over rocky bottoms or areas with strong currents. Vertical jigging allows anglers to cover a large area of water and explore different depths until they locate the desired strike zone, making it a versatile and productive technique for targeting cubera snapper.

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

What other species are popular in Miami Beach?

Aside from cubera snapper, Miami Beach offers anglers a diverse array of other exciting species to target throughout the year. One popular catch among local fishermen is the amberjack, prized for its powerful fighting ability and delicious flesh. Amberjack can be found in the offshore waters of Miami Beach, particularly around wrecks, reefs, and other underwater structures. Anglers often target amberjack by vertical jigging with heavy metal jigs or by bottom fishing with live bait or cut bait near the ocean floor.

Another sought-after species in Miami Beach is the black grouper, renowned for its impressive size and challenging fight. Black grouper inhabit the reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottoms scattered throughout the offshore waters of Miami Beach. Anglers often target black grouper by bottom fishing with live bait such as pinfish, grunts, or blue runners, as well as by using large jigs or soft plastics to entice strikes. Black grouper provide an exhilarating challenge for anglers due to their powerful runs and ability to retreat into the safety of underwater structures.

    I've been out on charters many, many times mostly down the east coast but also in Cabo. I must say the trip out with captain Manny is one of the two best trips out I've ever experienced. Her out is on fish, Jordan (the mate) ensured the rods and basis were correct and ready to catch fish. This was just a half day trip but next trip I'm going full day. Wow, I highly recommend Captain Manny!!!!! The catch highlights have to include the 54" barracuda and a 7' shark (it took two of us tag teaming and over 30 minutes to bring the shark alongside the boat for measurement.

    Damn great time on the water with Ben. He was willing to quickly adjust to last minute changes (remember, when you are replying to messages from Captain Experiences they might not get to the guide you are using through them). Ben got us into multiple species of fish using various methods of angling. When our time was up, we had a few "keepers" that Ben filleted up for us. It was a perfect day on the water. Thanks for the great time Ben and, more importantly, thank you for your service to our country! DO NOT HESITATE to book a trip with Ben.

    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.

    Incredible experience, captain Bryan knows how to catch fish and knows where the local giants are hiding. We cought a massive 300lb sand shark and several other species, captain was generious in sharing his knowlegde and experience with us and his loyal co-captain Tilly (chihuahua) made us feel welcome and made sure we had fun. I'd reccomend cap Bryan to anyone loking to CATCH fish in Miami waters!

    Fantastic trip overall! Captain Brian was so welcoming and fun, we caught huge fish and had a blast! Even the 5 year old with us loved it, he had plenty of water for us and a great clean bathroom on the boat. He made sure we had fun and we loved it. Will definitely be booking again when possible! Highly recommend.

    NON-STOP ACTION! Captain Experiences “HOOKED” us up with Captain Ben! Captain Ben is not only professional but he has the experience, knowledge, patience and skill that put us on multi species of fish, in diverse weather conditions throughout the day!! My two sons and I agree, that fishing with Captain Ben was like fishing with a friend! We made memories that will last forever! April 25, 2023.

    Hello 3/19/2023 Captian Bryan tried very hard to get fish for us but the lines kept getting severed , also it looks like he was missing a mate today so he had to drive the boat , fix new rigs etc. The scenery was great but we really wanted to catch some fish.

    I took my son and son in law fishing with Capt. Ben and he did not disappoint, we cought fish all day long. He was very knowledgeable navigating the Gulf waters and it's hot spots. Highly recommend Captain Ben and I hope to get back out with him soon. He is also a veteran so thank you for your service Captain 🇺🇲.

    Captain Bryan and his deckhand James, and Kila were AMAZING!!! I was so impressed! The trip was so great, I didn’t want it to end. Honestly, I can’t imagine going on another fishing trip without him. He is super knowledgeable, funny, and personable! He told us the name of each fish we caught, if we had to throw it back due to size, or due to not being in season. I learned so much! This trip was for my fiancé’s birthday and he had such a great time with our nieces and nephews. I’ve never went fishing my entire life and I caught the first fish! Thank you Captain Bryan and we look forward to being on the water with you again!
