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 vermillion snapper fishing in Miami Beach all about?

Vermillion snapper, also known as beeliners, are a popular target for anglers in Miami Beach due to their abundance and delicious taste. These vibrant red fish are typically found in waters ranging from 100 to 400 feet deep, making them a favorite among offshore fishermen. Vermillion snapper are known for their voracious appetite, eagerly striking at a variety of baits including squid, cut bait, and small fish. Anglers often use bottom fishing techniques, dropping their baited hooks to the ocean floor and waiting for the telltale tug of these feisty fish.

In Miami Beach, the vermillion snapper season extends throughout the year, with peak fishing occurring during the cooler months when these fish are most active. However, they can be caught year-round, providing anglers with plenty of opportunities to target them. While they are often found on natural and artificial reefs, vermillion snapper can also be found around wrecks, ledges, and other underwater structures. Anglers targeting these fish typically use light to medium tackle and employ patience and finesse to entice the sometimes cautious snapper to bite.

Vermillion snapper are prized not only for their abundance and accessibility but also for their delectable taste. Their firm, white flesh is mild and sweet, making them a favorite among seafood enthusiasts. Whether enjoyed fresh on the grill or baked to perfection in the oven, vermillion snapper provides a flavorful and satisfying meal for anglers lucky enough to reel them in off the coast of Miami Beach.

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

In Miami Beach, vermillion snapper can be found year-round, offering anglers ample opportunities to target them regardless of the season. However, there are certain times of the year when these fish are more abundant and actively feeding, making for more productive fishing outings. Generally, the vermillion snapper season is most fruitful during the cooler months, typically from late fall through early spring. During this time, water temperatures are cooler, and the fish tend to congregate in larger numbers around reefs, wrecks, and other underwater structures.

While vermillion snapper can be caught throughout the year, their behavior and distribution may vary slightly depending on the season. For example, during the summer months, these fish may move to deeper waters to escape the warmer surface temperatures, requiring anglers to adjust their fishing techniques and target different areas. Conversely, in the winter months, vermillion snapper may be more active and accessible in shallower waters closer to shore, presenting anglers with opportunities for successful inshore fishing trips.

Understanding the seasonal patterns of vermillion snapper can help anglers plan their fishing trips more effectively and increase their chances of success. By targeting these fish during their peak seasons, anglers can capitalize on the times when they are most abundant and actively feeding, resulting in more productive and rewarding fishing experiences off the coast of Miami Beach.

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

When targeting vermillion snapper in Miami Beach, employing the right fishing techniques can significantly increase your chances of success. One effective method is bottom fishing near reefs, wrecks, and other underwater structures where vermillion snapper tend to congregate. These fish are known for seeking shelter and foraging for food around these structures, so dropping your bait near these areas can yield good results. Using live or cut bait such as squid, shrimp, or small fish can be particularly enticing to vermillion snapper.

Another productive technique for catching vermillion snapper is drift fishing. This involves drifting along the ocean currents while presenting your bait at different depths to cover a larger area and locate where the fish are congregating. Adjusting the weight of your rig to match the current speed and depth can help keep your bait at the desired level where vermillion snapper are likely to be feeding. Additionally, using a Carolina rig or a similar setup can allow your bait to move naturally with the current, making it more enticing to the fish.

Vertical jigging is also a popular technique for targeting vermillion snapper in Miami Beach, especially when fishing over deeper reefs or wrecks. This method involves dropping a jig vertically to the bottom and then rapidly jerking it upwards to mimic the motion of a wounded baitfish. Vermillion snapper are often drawn to the sudden movement and will strike the jig as it darts upwards. Using brightly colored jigs or adding a strip of bait to the hook can further increase your chances of attracting these fish. Experimenting with different jigging speeds and depths can help you determine the most effective presentation for the conditions on any given day.

What other species are popular in Miami Beach?

In addition to targeting vermillion snapper, Miami Beach offers a diverse range of species for anglers to pursue. One popular catch is the grouper, with species such as red grouper, gag grouper, and black grouper present in the area's offshore waters. These powerful fish are known for their strong fights and delicious flesh, making them a sought-after target for many anglers. Fishing near reefs, wrecks, and rocky structures is often productive for grouper, using live or cut bait presented near the bottom.

Another prized species in Miami Beach is the kingfish, particularly during the spring and fall months when they migrate along the coast. These fast-swimming predators are known for their aggressive strikes and high-speed runs, providing an exhilarating fishing experience. Trolling with live bait or artificial lures along the edge of the Gulf Stream or near offshore structures is a popular technique for targeting kingfish. Additionally, slow trolling with live baitfish such as blue runners or goggle-eyes can be effective in enticing these powerful fish.

Miami Beach also offers opportunities to target pelagic species such as mahi-mahi, sailfish, and wahoo. Mahi-mahi, also known as dorado or dolphin fish, are often found offshore around floating debris, weed lines, and temperature breaks. Trolling with brightly colored lures or live baitfish is a common method for attracting mahi-mahi. Sailfish are another prized catch known for their acrobatic leaps and impressive speed. Anglers often target sailfish by trolling with rigged ballyhoo or artificial lures in offshore waters where they congregate. Wahoo, with their razor-sharp teeth and lightning-fast strikes, are often targeted by high-speed trolling with lures or rigged baits along the edge of drop-offs and underwater structures.

    I have been on several guided trips in Mexico and Florida. I can say hands down this was the best. Yes, we caught a bunch of fish, more so, the guys worked their asses off and we’re fun to be around! Thanks Mike!

    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!

    Highly recommend Captain Experiences and specifically Captain Mike, Captain Dave and Deckhand Rhonda. Great time- HUGE experience that landed us fish for dinner and a fantastic afternoon with my son. We were inexperienced and they had our backs the WHOLE way. Great Experience and great folks!!!

    Absolutely amazing crew and fishing! Traveled with our four kids and decided to take a fishing trip before we went on left for a cruise out of Miami. Communication prior to trip was great and boat had plenty of space including bathroom, cooler with ice/drinks and inside area for younger children that were hot/sleepy. We caught tons of fish! Definitely would recommend this boat and crew to anyone looking for a solid boating/fishing experience!

    I can’t say enough good things about Carl and Dom. What a great crew. They had us on fishing within 20 minutes of leaving the harbor and we were busy the entire trip! Their expertise and guidance helped us catch literally dozens of fish and we had the best time ever. Not only were they super friendly but also had complete control when the fish got close! I can’t recommend them enough. I can’t wait for my next trip with them!

    Amazing trip with an All-Star crew!!! Couldn’t ask for a better day weather wise and company wise. From arrival to the dock to leaving after 8 hours of fun filled day of catching fish, having laughter and just enjoying an absolute best time of our life’s. Mike and Dan are the best crew that anyone could ask. Strongly recommend anyone who wants to experience good fishing and knowledgeable personale to book with them. Looking forward coming back and have another amazing trip with these guys….

    Maurice and his son took 5 of us out and despite unusual 50 degree rainy weather in Miami we absolutely crushed it. Caught some kingfish, false albacore, and-the cherry on top-a beautiful sailfish. Maurice worked tirelessly to put us on fish and even stayed out a little longer than we should have to get us more bites. He runs a very clean operation and I’ll be back for more.
