trip description for Miami Beach Sportfishing Trip in Miami Beach

Sportfishing here in Miami Beach is a unique experience unlike any other. Captain Ethan and his crew know the area and know how to make your trip enjoyable and memorable. His sportfishing charters offer plenty of opportunities to catch and keep your fish, if you so desire! Ethan and his crew can even clean your catch and suggest nearby restaurants that will cook it up for you. Charters launch from the Miami Beach Marina and traverse the area between Ft. Lauderdale and Key Largo. However, if the fishing report states a much wider range, Captain Ethan will go as far as 30 miles offshore. His goal is to give you the best sportfishing experience possible—each and every trip. Some of the fish regularly caught on these trips include Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Kingfish, Tuna, Sharks, Blackfin Tuna, and Wahoo. However, an unexpected blue or white Marlin may show its face in the spread, when an experienced angler knows you never know what to expect. While a few fish are catch and release only, you can keep much of what you catch—depending on size. Our crew will keep you up to date with the current information. A day of sport fishing is something you will never forget! All equipment is provided, but you are welcome to use your own if you prefer. Please bring your own snacks and drinks for the trip as well as a tip for the deckhands! Read More

What types of kingfish fishing charters are common in Miami Beach?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for kingfish in Miami Beach as well as nearshore fishing, inshore fishing, and flats fishing.

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

How much do Miami Beach kingfish fishing charters cost?

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 is kingfish fishing in Miami Beach all about?

Kingfish, also known as king mackerel, are a highly prized species among anglers in Miami Beach. Renowned for their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps, kingfish provide an exhilarating challenge for fishermen of all skill levels. These sleek and predatory fish are commonly found in the nearshore and offshore waters of Miami Beach, particularly around reefs, wrecks, and areas with abundant baitfish.

One effective method for targeting kingfish in Miami Beach is trolling with live bait or fast-moving lures. Anglers often use rigged baits such as mullet, ballyhoo, or cigar minnows, as well as artificial lures like spoons, plugs, or skirted baits. By trolling at varying speeds and depths, anglers can cover a large area of water and increase their chances of encountering feeding kingfish. This method allows anglers to explore different areas and adapt to changing conditions, providing an exciting and dynamic fishing experience.

Another popular technique for kingfish fishing in Miami Beach is live bait fishing near reefs, wrecks, or other offshore structures. Anglers often use live baitfish such as pilchards, pinfish, or threadfin herring rigged on a stinger rig or weighted wire leader to entice strikes from kingfish. Fishing with live bait allows anglers to present a natural-looking offering to the fish and can result in more consistent bites, particularly when targeting larger specimens. With their impressive speed and ferocious strikes, kingfish offer anglers a thrilling challenge and a rewarding catch in the waters off Miami Beach.

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

Kingfish, also known as king mackerel, can be found in the waters around Miami Beach throughout the year, but their abundance and behavior can vary depending on the season. Spring and summer are generally considered prime seasons for targeting kingfish in Miami Beach. As the water temperatures warm up during these months, kingfish become more active and move into shallower waters near reefs, wrecks, and offshore structures to feed.

During the spring months, kingfish migrate closer to shore in search of prey, making them more accessible to anglers fishing from boats or piers. Anglers can often find them in nearshore waters, particularly around bait-rich areas such as reefs and jetties. Summer sees a continuation of this trend, with kingfish remaining plentiful and actively feeding in the warm coastal waters off Miami Beach. Anglers targeting kingfish during these seasons can expect fast-paced action and exhilarating battles as they reel in these powerful and acrobatic fish.

While spring and summer are peak seasons for kingfish in Miami Beach, these fish can still be encountered during the fall and winter months, albeit with reduced abundance and activity levels. As water temperatures cool, kingfish may migrate to deeper offshore waters or follow baitfish schools to warmer areas. However, dedicated anglers who know where to look and how to adapt their techniques can still find success in targeting kingfish year-round in the waters off Miami Beach.

What techniques are popular for catching kingfish in Miami Beach?

When targeting kingfish in Miami Beach, anglers employ a variety of techniques to increase their chances of success. One popular method is trolling with live bait or fast-moving lures. Anglers often use rigged baits such as mullet, ballyhoo, or cigar minnows, as well as artificial lures like spoons, plugs, or skirted baits. By trolling at varying speeds and depths, anglers can cover a large area of water and increase their chances of encountering feeding kingfish. This method allows anglers to explore different areas and adapt to changing conditions, providing an exciting and dynamic fishing experience.

Another effective technique for kingfish fishing in Miami Beach is live bait fishing near reefs, wrecks, or other offshore structures. Anglers often use live baitfish such as pilchards, pinfish, or threadfin herring rigged on a stinger rig or weighted wire leader to entice strikes from kingfish. Fishing with live bait allows anglers to present a natural-looking offering to the fish and can result in more consistent bites, particularly when targeting larger specimens. This technique requires patience and precision but can be highly rewarding for anglers who put in the effort.

Chumming can also be a successful tactic for attracting kingfish 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 kingfish closer to the boat or shore. Once kingfish are attracted to the chum slick, anglers can cast bait or lures into the feeding frenzy to entice strikes. By employing a combination of trolling, live bait fishing, and chumming techniques, anglers can increase their chances of hooking into kingfish and enjoy an exhilarating fishing experience in the waters off Miami Beach.

What other species are popular in Miami Beach?

Aside from kingfish, Miami Beach offers anglers a diverse array of other species to target, ensuring exciting fishing opportunities throughout the year. One popular catch among local fishermen is the mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado, prized for its vibrant colors and delicious flesh. Mahi-mahi are commonly found in offshore waters, particularly around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures. Anglers often target mahi-mahi by trolling with brightly colored lures or rigged baits, as well as casting with live bait or artificial lures, providing an exhilarating challenge for those seeking fast-paced action on the water.

Another sought-after species in Miami Beach is the snapper, which includes a variety of species such as mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, and mutton snapper. Snapper are commonly found in a variety of habitats, including reefs, wrecks, and rocky structures, making them accessible to anglers fishing from boats, piers, or the shoreline. Anglers often target snapper using live or cut bait, as well as artificial lures such as jigs or soft plastics, providing an exciting challenge and a delicious reward for those lucky enough to hook into one.

In addition to mahi-mahi and snapper, Miami Beach waters are home to a variety of other sought-after species, including grouper, sailfish, and wahoo. 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.

    My son and I went on a 4 hour fishing trip from Pompano Beach through the Hillsboro Beach Inlet. Captain Dave and mate Tom crewed the boat. They were both professional and very friendly. They made us feel welcome immediately and Captain Dave in particular showed interest in my son who had not been on a deep sea trip previously. They both made the utmost efforts to find us fish. They told us that the morning trip had been pretty quite but they did a lot to find fish, which they did. We ended up landing 5 fish of different species and Tom was kind enough as well as skilled enough to clean the Mahi Mahi and Black Tuna for us to take with us. I would definitely go out with them again the next time we go.

    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.
