trip description for 3/4 Day in Fort Lauderdale

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! Read More

trip description for Flats Fishing - 17' Maverick in Homestead

Head out with Captain Alex for an action-packed day of fly fishing in the Florida Atlantic inshores! Biscayne Bay is home to beautiful inshore flats where you can catch some of the prized fish that Florida is known for, all while just outside the city. On this 4 to 8-hour trip, Captain Alex will motor you on through Biscayne Bay and the Homestead inshores where you'll be fly fishing for sought-after fish including Bonefish, Permit, Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon. Part of what makes fly fishing for these species so exciting is the challenge of getting such elusive fish to bite. Accurate casts are almost always required, and the windy conditions of the Florida Keys only add to the challenge. While Captain Alex is happy to give you helpful instruction to accommodate your skill level, this trip is recommended for experienced fly fishers who go out on the water more than a few times a year. Captain Alex has a listing for this same trip with traditional rods and tackle that we recommend for those who aren't quite expert casters, and we guarantee it's just as much fun! For those experienced anglers who feel comfortable enough with their fly casting, Captain Alex outlines the skills you should have down with in his "About Your Guide" section. He also requests that anglers do some research on the aspects of fly fishing for Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit prior to this trip. Captain Alex is highly skilled and even the most experienced anglers will benefit from his instruction. It may take a bit of practice, but as Alex will tell you there's nothing more rewarding than landing one of these fish! You'll be aboard a 17' Maverick HPX-V with capacity for 2 anglers. Powered by a 115 HP Mercury engine, this maneuverable boat will have no problem letting you creep up and sight-cast on some fish even in hard-to-reach waters. It comes equipped with GPS, a Wireless Trolling Motor, and an Ice Box to store your catches. Captain Alex will even clean any keepers you catch to take home for a tasty meal. Captain Alex will provide all rods, reels, tackle and fishing licenses. All you need to bring is sunglasses, sunscreen, and any food or drinks you might need. Come aboard with Captain Alex and get ready to show off your skills! Read More

Welcome to Captain Dennis' Fishing charters, where big fish are always in season. If you are in the Fort Lauderdale area and are looking for the fight of a lifetime look no further! We will be targeting GIANT Tarpon and Snook on relatively light tackle, hooking into fish in the 100lb+ range. These big Tarpon put on quite a show, jumping 6+ feet out of the water, pulling a TON of drag, breaking a lot of gear and a lot of hearts. But if you have the determination and with a little bit of luck you just might land the fish of a lifetime. Come out and test your skills against the most prized inshore fish in the world, The Silver King, Tarpon! Captain Dennis specializes in inshore fishing for large Snook and Tarpon. He offers half-day charters for up to 4 anglers and will also supply all necessary bait and tackle. Sticking mainly to calm inshore protected waters, there’s no need to worry about getting seasick on his boat. Family and kid-friendly, they cater to all experience levels, from the avid angler to the first-time fisherman. Times are flexible, so send the captain a message and let him know if there is a time that works better for you. Fishing licenses are included. Book your trip now and hit the water with Captain Dennis for an epic inshore experience. Read More

trip description for Half or Full Day Trip - 22’ Epic in Key Biscayne

Head offshore with Captain Raul for an epic half or full day adventure off Miami Beach. The beauty of the Miami beach fishery is its crazy close proximity to the deep water. While most fishing destinations require a full day aboard the boat in order to get far enough offshore, in Miami, you can easily hook into some tasty and large sportfish on a half-day adventure. Going out for a full day, however, gives you enough time to reach really deep fishing spots and go after the biggest, fastest fish out there. Some of your targets can be Swordfish, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, and more. Your fishing equipment is fully covered by the captain, so all you need to bring are you favorite snacks and drinks, and Captain Raul will take care of the rest! Read More

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 snook fishing in Miami beach all about?

Snook, known for their strength, agility, and challenging fights, are a highly prized catch among anglers in Miami Beach. These predatory fish are prevalent in the mangrove-lined shorelines, bridges, and inlets throughout the area, where they ambush prey in the shallows. Miami Beach's unique geography, with its extensive network of mangroves and tidal channels, provides ideal habitat for snook, offering anglers ample opportunities to target these elusive fish amidst the crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys.

One of the most effective methods for targeting snook in Miami Beach is live bait fishing. Anglers use live baitfish such as pilchards or pinfish rigged on circle hooks and weighted with sinkers to entice strikes from snook. Baits are presented along mangrove edges, bridge pilings, or other structure-rich areas where snook are known to hide. This method requires patience and precision, as anglers must carefully position their baits to intercept the path of the snook and entice them to strike.

Another popular technique for snook fishing in Miami Beach is artificial lure fishing. Anglers use a variety of lures such as soft plastic swimbaits, topwater plugs, or suspending twitch baits to mimic the natural movements of baitfish and entice strikes from snook. This method allows anglers to cover a larger area of water and actively search for feeding snook in different habitats, including shallow flats, mangrove shorelines, and deeper channels. Whether fishing from shore or from a shallow-draft skiff, anglers in Miami Beach can enjoy the thrill of targeting snook against the backdrop of the area's stunning coastal scenery.

What are the most popular months to fish for snook in Miami beach?

In Miami Beach, the presence and activity of snook follow distinct seasonal patterns influenced by factors such as water temperature, tidal movements, and spawning behavior. The peak season for snook typically occurs during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. During this time, rising water temperatures prompt snook to become more active and move into shallower waters to feed and spawn. Anglers capitalize on these conditions, enjoying prime opportunities to target snook amidst the mangrove-lined shorelines and tidal channels of Miami Beach.

Summer marks the height of the snook season in Miami Beach, with abundant populations of these prized game fish inhabiting the area's estuaries, inlets, and flats. Warm water temperatures and longer days create optimal conditions for snook activity, with fish readily feeding on baitfish, crustaceans, and other prey. Anglers often encounter snook while fishing near mangrove edges, bridge pilings, or grass flats, using live bait such as pilchards or pinfish, as well as artificial lures like soft plastic swimbaits or topwater plugs. The summer months provide anglers with the best chance of hooking into trophy-sized snook and experiencing the thrill of battling these powerful predators.

While summer is considered the peak season for snook in Miami Beach, these prized game fish can be found in the area's waters year-round. During the cooler months, snook may seek out warmer pockets along the coast or migrate into deeper channels and estuaries to escape colder water temperatures. However, dedicated anglers can still target snook by focusing on areas with favorable tidal movements, structure-rich habitats, or bait concentrations. Understanding the seasonal patterns of snook in Miami Beach is key to maximizing success on the water and enjoying memorable fishing adventures against the backdrop of the city's stunning coastal landscape.

What techniques are popular for catching snook in Miami beach?

Snook fishing in Miami Beach requires anglers to employ a variety of specialized techniques tailored to the habits and behaviors of these elusive and cunning fish. One popular method for targeting snook is live bait fishing. Anglers use live baitfish such as pilchards, pinfish, or mullet rigged on circle hooks and weighted with sinkers to entice strikes from snook. Baits are presented along mangrove edges, bridge pilings, or other structure-rich areas where snook are known to hide. This method requires patience and precision, as anglers must carefully position their baits to intercept the path of the snook and entice them to strike.

Another effective technique for snook fishing in Miami Beach is artificial lure fishing. Anglers use a variety of lures such as soft plastic swimbaits, topwater plugs, or suspending twitch baits to mimic the natural movements of baitfish and entice strikes from snook. This method allows anglers to cover a larger area of water and actively search for feeding snook in different habitats, including shallow flats, mangrove shorelines, and deeper channels. Anglers often target snook during low-light conditions such as dawn or dusk, when these nocturnal predators are most active and feeding.

In addition to live bait and artificial lure fishing, anglers in Miami Beach can also target snook using fly fishing techniques. Fly anglers use a variety of flies such as deceivers, clousers, or baitfish imitations to mimic the movements of baitfish and attract strikes from snook. This method requires accurate casting and presentation skills, as well as an understanding of snook behavior and habitat. Whether fishing from shore, wading in the shallows, or drifting along mangrove-lined channels in a shallow-draft skiff, anglers in Miami Beach can enjoy the challenge and excitement of targeting snook against the backdrop of the area's stunning coastal scenery.

What other species are popular in Miami beach?

Aside from snook, Miami's diverse coastal waters offer anglers a plethora of other species to target, ensuring there's something for every angler's preference and skill level. One popular species among anglers is the tarpon, known for its impressive size, acrobatic leaps, and powerful fights. Tarpon are prevalent in Miami's waters, particularly during their seasonal migrations along the Florida coast. Anglers commonly target tarpon in channels, flats, and around bridges, using live bait such as mullet or crabs, as well as artificial lures like swimbaits or topwater plugs, to entice strikes from these majestic fish.

Another sought-after species in Miami is the snapper, prized for its tasty flesh and challenging fights. Several species of snapper inhabit the area's reefs, wrecks, and rock piles, offering anglers opportunities for both inshore and offshore fishing. Mangrove snapper, yellowtail snapper, and mutton snapper are among the most targeted species, with anglers using a variety of baits and techniques to entice strikes. From bottom fishing with live bait or cut bait to jigging with metal jigs or vertical jigs, anglers can enjoy the thrill of battling these powerful and cunning predators.

Miami's coastal ecosystem also provides opportunities to target species such as grouper, kingfish, barracuda, and mahi-mahi, among others. Whether fishing inshore along the mangroves or venturing offshore to reefs, wrecks, and offshore structures, anglers can enjoy a wide range of fishing experiences year-round. With its warm climate, clear waters, and abundant fish populations, Miami offers endless opportunities for anglers to pursue their favorite species and create unforgettable fishing memories against the backdrop of the city's stunning coastal landscape.

    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!
