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.

What is mahi mahi fishing in Miami Beach all about?

Mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado, are a prized catch among anglers in Miami Beach. These colorful and highly migratory fish inhabit the warm offshore waters of Miami Beach, particularly around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures. Mahi-mahi are known for their vibrant colors, with iridescent shades of blue, green, and yellow, making them a striking sight when encountered in the water.

One effective method for targeting mahi-mahi in Miami Beach is trolling. Anglers troll with brightly colored lures or rigged baits behind a boat, covering large areas of water to locate schools of mahi-mahi. Trolling allows anglers to mimic the movement of fleeing baitfish and entice strikes from these fast-swimming predators. Anglers can also target mahi-mahi by casting with live bait or artificial lures, particularly around weed lines or debris where mahi-mahi are known to congregate.

Mahi-mahi are highly prized not only for their vibrant colors but also for their delicious flesh, making them a favorite catch for both recreational and commercial fishermen in Miami Beach. These acrobatic fish are known for their powerful runs and aerial displays, providing anglers with an exhilarating challenge once hooked. With their abundance in the offshore waters of Miami Beach and their reputation as a top-tier game fish, mahi-mahi offer anglers an exciting and rewarding fishing experience in this vibrant coastal destination.

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

In Miami Beach, the mahi-mahi fishing seasons are influenced by various factors including water temperature, ocean currents, and migration patterns of these highly migratory fish. Generally, the prime seasons for targeting mahi-mahi in Miami Beach fall during the spring and summer months. As the water temperatures rise during this period, mahi-mahi become more active and move closer to the surface, providing anglers with excellent opportunities to encounter them.

Springtime, typically from March to May, marks the beginning of the mahi-mahi fishing season in Miami Beach. During this period, mahi-mahi migrate northward along the Gulf Stream, often passing through the offshore waters near Miami Beach. Anglers can expect to find mahi-mahi congregating around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures, making it an ideal time to target them. As summer approaches, the mahi-mahi fishing season continues to thrive, with these vibrant fish remaining abundant and active in the warm coastal waters off Miami Beach.

While spring and summer are considered the peak seasons for mahi-mahi fishing in Miami Beach, these fish can still be encountered throughout the year, albeit with varying abundance and activity levels. During the fall and winter months, mahi-mahi may move farther offshore or migrate southward in response to changing water temperatures and currents. However, dedicated anglers who know where to look and how to adapt their techniques can still find success in targeting mahi-mahi year-round in the waters off Miami Beach.

What techniques are popular for catching mahi mahi in Miami Beach?

When it comes to targeting mahi-mahi in Miami Beach, anglers employ various techniques to increase their chances of success. One popular method is trolling with brightly colored lures or rigged baits behind a boat. Anglers cover large areas of water, particularly around weed lines, floating debris, and offshore structures where mahi-mahi are known to congregate. Trolling allows anglers to mimic the movement of fleeing baitfish and entice strikes from these fast-swimming predators.

Another effective technique for mahi-mahi fishing in Miami Beach is casting with live bait or artificial lures. Anglers target areas with concentrations of mahi-mahi, such as weed lines or debris patches, and cast with small jigs, spoons, or soft plastics. Live bait such as pilchards, ballyhoo, or small fish can also be effective in enticing strikes from mahi-mahi. Anglers should be prepared for the aggressive strikes and acrobatic leaps that mahi-mahi are known for, adding excitement to the fishing experience.

Chumming can also be a successful tactic for attracting mahi-mahi 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 mahi-mahi closer to the boat. Once mahi-mahi 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, casting, and chumming techniques, anglers can increase their chances of hooking into mahi-mahi and enjoy an exhilarating fishing experience in the waters off Miami Beach.

What other species are popular in Miami Beach?

Aside from mahi-mahi, Miami Beach offers anglers a diverse array of other exciting species to target throughout the year. One popular catch among local fishermen is the sailfish, prized for its speed and acrobatic leaps. Sailfish can be found in the offshore waters of Miami Beach, particularly along the edge of the Gulf Stream and near underwater structures such as reefs and wrecks. Anglers often target sailfish by trolling with large, brightly colored lures or rigged baits, as well as by deploying live baitfish such as ballyhoo or mullet.

Another sought-after species in Miami Beach is the wahoo, renowned for its speed and powerful strikes. Wahoo inhabit the deep offshore waters around Miami Beach, particularly along current edges and temperature breaks. Anglers often target wahoo by trolling with high-speed lures or rigged baits at varying depths, as well as by deploying live bait such as bonito or small tuna. Wahoo are known for their aggressive feeding behavior and can provide an exhilarating challenge for anglers lucky enough to hook into one.

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

    David O. with Tim M. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    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.
