trip description for Full Day Trolling - 41’ Custom in Fort Lauderdale

Off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, there are a couple different techniques for trolling: trolling the reefs for Kingfish and Bonitos and trolling offshore for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tunas, and sometimes even a Blue Marlin! **Trolling the Reef** 90% of your bites will be on the deep lines, so Captain Taco will troll with 2 planner boards that take the bait about 45 feet down along with 3 baits skipping across the surface at about 5 to 6 knots. If you get a Kingfish bite 9 out of 10 times both deep rods will get hit at the same time. These fish like to travel in schools so Captain Taco will steer the boat in big circles dragging the baits around where you got the first bit and BAM every time you circle you should get another bite. (Well that’s how it ideally would work of course) **Trolling Offshore** When trolling offshore Captain Taco will pump the gas a little to cover more ground. You'll usually troll 5 to 6 baits on the surface at 6 to 8 knots. He doesn't like trolling the planners offshore due to the resistance that the planners cause, but just about anything floating out there might hold some fish. And I mean anything if he spots a weed patch, grass line, or even a piece of driftwood, you know Captain Taco's gonna pull the baits past it to see if anybody's home. Both are great options, and you might even have enough time to try a little of both! No matter what, you are sure to have a great time fishing in Ft. Lauderdale with Captain Taco. His charter is not one of those stuffy Ft. Lauderdale fishing charters where the mate and captain are stuck on themselves and barely talk to you. They want you to party, relax, or do whatever you like to do. In his mind, his job is to make your time aboard the "Hooked Up" the most enjoyable time a person can have fishing in Ft Lauderdale. All Taco's trips come with his Full-Service Package which includes an experienced captain & mate, all necessary fishing licenses, top-of-the-line rods, reels & tackle, a cooler loaded with ice for your beers & sodas, and a lot of laughs & a great time! All he recommends you bring along with you is some food and drink for your voyage, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a little luck! Read More

What is mutton snapper fishing in Miami Beach all about?

Mutton snapper, a prized catch among anglers, is a prevalent species found in the waters surrounding Miami Beach. Known for their delicious taste and challenging fights, these fish are sought after by both recreational and commercial fishermen. Mutton snapper typically inhabit coral reefs, wrecks, and other structures in the deeper waters off the coast, making them a popular target for anglers looking for an exciting deep-sea fishing experience.

Fishing for mutton snapper in Miami Beach can be a rewarding endeavor, but it requires skill and patience. Anglers often use live bait, such as pilchards or pinfish, to lure mutton snapper from their hiding spots. Additionally, fishing with light tackle and fluorocarbon leaders can increase the chances of success when targeting these elusive fish. Many experienced anglers prefer to bottom fish with a sliding sinker rig or jigging techniques to entice mutton snapper to bite.

The prime time to catch mutton snapper in Miami Beach is during the warmer months, typically from late spring to early fall. During this time, mutton snapper are more active and can be found in greater numbers around offshore reefs and wrecks. However, they can also be caught year-round, with smaller specimens often found closer to shore in shallower waters. Whether fishing from a private boat, charter vessel, or shore, anglers in Miami Beach have ample opportunities to target mutton snapper and enjoy the thrill of reeling in these prized fish.

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

In Miami Beach, mutton snapper fishing seasons coincide with their natural behavior and the local climate. These seasons are influenced by factors such as water temperature, currents, and spawning patterns. Generally, mutton snapper are more abundant and active during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. During this period, the waters off Miami Beach teem with various baitfish and marine life, attracting mutton snapper to feed along the reefs and wrecks.

Anglers targeting these fish during this time often find success around offshore reefs, wrecks, and rocky structures. However, mutton snapper can still be caught year-round in Miami Beach, with smaller specimens often present in shallower waters closer to shore during the cooler months.

While mutton snapper fishing in Miami Beach is generally productive throughout the year, anglers should be mindful of regulations and seasonal closures to ensure sustainable fishing practices. Local authorities may implement seasonal closures or restrictions to protect spawning populations and maintain healthy fish stocks. By adhering to these regulations and fishing responsibly, anglers can continue to enjoy the thrill of mutton snapper fishing in Miami Beach for generations to come.

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

One effective technique commonly used by anglers is bottom fishing around offshore reefs, wrecks, and rocky structures where mutton snapper are known to congregate. Using live bait such as pilchards, pinfish, or squid can be highly effective in enticing mutton snapper to bite. Additionally, anglers often employ chumming to attract these fish to their location, creating a feeding frenzy that increases the chances of a successful catch.

Another popular technique for targeting mutton snapper in Miami Beach is jigging. This involves dropping a jig or weighted lure to the bottom and then jerking it upward in a rapid motion to mimic the movement of injured baitfish. Mutton snapper are known to be aggressive feeders, and this technique can often trigger a strike from these voracious predators. Using jigs in combination with natural baits or artificial lures can help anglers cover more ground and increase their chances of hooking into a prized mutton snapper.

In addition to bottom fishing and jigging, trolling can also be an effective method for catching mutton snapper in Miami Beach. Anglers typically troll along reef edges, drop-offs, and other productive areas using diving plugs or lipped diving lures. This technique allows anglers to cover a larger area of water and target mutton snapper that may be suspended at various depths. By varying trolling speeds and lure colors, anglers can experiment to find the most effective presentation for enticing mutton snapper to strike. Overall, mastering these techniques can greatly enhance an angler's success when fishing for mutton snapper in the waters off Miami Beach.

What other species are popular in Miami Beach?

Miami Beach offers a diverse range of fishing opportunities beyond just mutton snapper. Anglers can target various other species depending on their preferences and the time of year. One popular target species is the grouper, with species like red grouper, black grouper, and gag grouper abundant in the area's offshore reefs and wrecks. These hard-fighting fish are known for their delicious flesh and can be caught using similar techniques to those used for mutton snapper, such as bottom fishing with live bait or jigs.

Another sought-after species in Miami Beach is the mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado. These colorful and acrobatic fish are commonly found offshore in warm waters, particularly around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures. Anglers often troll with brightly colored lures or live bait to entice mahi-mahi strikes. Their high-speed runs and aerial leaps make them a thrilling catch for anglers of all skill levels.

For anglers looking for a challenge, targeting sailfish in Miami Beach can provide an exhilarating experience. Known for their blistering runs and acrobatic leaps, sailfish are prized game fish that inhabit the offshore waters of Miami Beach, particularly during the winter months. Trolling with ballyhoo, mullet, or artificial lures is a common technique for targeting sailfish, although they can also be caught using live bait such as pilchards or goggle-eyes.

    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!

    Breyhauna J. with Taylor S. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

    I would 100% recommend a trip with Jedidiah. No doubt he knows the waters and how to get on the fish, but was also very good with our two younger anglers who had a memorable, successful and exciting experience. King Mackerel were biting and they were just a couple minutes off shore. Thanks Jedidiah and hope to book another one with you in the future!

    Ozzy and his wife were absolutely wonderful!! They were so friendly and welcoming. They genuinely wanted us to have a good experience and even went over our time slot because Ozzy was determined to have us catch something big before the end, and we did!! The last fish we caught was a huge barracuda! It was truly such a fun experience and you could tell how passionate Ozzy and his wife are about what they do. We would love to come back one day and go fishing with them 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.
