To make sure you have the best possible charter experience, Captain Christopher is ready and rearing to do any kind of fishing you'd like to do. Whether that's chasing Swords, kite fishing for Sails, deep dropping for Tilefish, jigging, or bottom fishing! He can even guide spearfishing adventures, though you'll have to bring your own gear for that. Captain Christopher has some secret honey holes where the Snapper bite is on rain or shine. So if all else fails, which is rarely the case, Captain Christopher will make sure you get back to the dock with a cooler full of fish! Captain Christophers' brand new Dusky Center Console is 29 feet from propellor to bow. The whole front of the boat is a padded lounge area, making this charter great for families and avid fishermen alike!

You and Captain Chris can try and go out and catch the bait yourselves but it is also available for purchase. Captain Chris likes to tell his clients: "If time is of the essence, rather than burn time messing around catching bait, there are plenty of guys selling bait as we leave the dock and the 20-40$ is often well-spent cash head straight out to the bigger fish." But like everything else with Captain Chris, the decision is up to you! Read More

What is albacore tuna in Miami all about?

Albacore tuna, known for their streamlined bodies and distinctive long pectoral fins, are occasionally encountered in the offshore waters of Miami. These pelagic fish are highly migratory and are found in both tropical and temperate oceans around the world. While not as common as other tuna species in Miami's waters, such as yellowfin or blackfin tuna, albacore tuna can still be targeted by anglers venturing offshore in search of these prized gamefish.

The presence of albacore tuna in Miami's waters can vary depending on seasonal changes in water temperature, oceanic currents, and prey availability. Albacore tuna typically prefer cooler waters and are often found in deeper offshore areas, where they feed on small fish and squid. In Miami, encounters with albacore tuna may occur sporadically throughout the year, with sightings more common during certain seasons when oceanic conditions are favorable.

When targeting albacore tuna in Miami, anglers often employ trolling techniques using large, brightly colored lures or rigged baitfish. Trolling allows anglers to cover vast expanses of open water and present their baits at various depths, increasing the likelihood of enticing a strike from passing albacore tuna. Anglers may also use outriggers to spread multiple lines across the water, maximizing their chances of attracting these pelagic predators. Additionally, anglers targeting albacore tuna may deploy specialized gear such as heavy-duty rods, reels, and terminal tackle designed to handle the powerful runs and deep dives of these fish. While encounters with albacore tuna may be less common compared to other tuna species in Miami, the thrill of hooking into one of these fast and powerful fish makes the endeavor worthwhile for many offshore anglers.

What are the most popular months to fish for albacore tuna in Miami?

Albacore tuna, known for their preference for cooler waters, are not commonly found in the offshore waters of Miami. Their presence in the region can vary depending on seasonal changes and oceanic conditions. Generally, albacore tuna are more commonly encountered in temperate waters, such as those found in the northern Atlantic Ocean, rather than the subtropical waters off Miami's coast. Consequently, sightings of albacore tuna in Miami's waters are relatively rare compared to other tuna species that are more commonly found in the region.

The prime seasons for targeting albacore tuna typically align with cooler months when water temperatures drop to levels preferred by these pelagic fish. In Miami, this may occur during the winter months when oceanic currents bring cooler waters closer to the coastline. However, even during these periods, the presence of albacore tuna in Miami's waters is not guaranteed, and encounters with these fish may still be sporadic. Anglers targeting albacore tuna in Miami may need to venture far offshore and be prepared to adapt their fishing tactics to the changing conditions to maximize their chances of success.

While albacore tuna are not as commonly targeted in Miami as other tuna species, such as yellowfin or blackfin tuna, anglers may still encounter them during certain times of the year when oceanic conditions are favorable. For anglers specifically targeting albacore tuna, staying informed about seasonal patterns, water temperatures, and oceanic currents can help increase their chances of encountering these elusive fish. However, it's essential to acknowledge that the presence of albacore tuna in Miami's waters remains unpredictable, and successful encounters may require patience, persistence, and a bit of luck.

What techniques are popular for catching albacore tuna in Miami?

While albacore tuna are not commonly targeted in the offshore waters of Miami, anglers who encounter these pelagic fish can employ various fishing techniques to increase their chances of success. One effective method for targeting albacore tuna is trolling. Anglers trail large, brightly colored lures or rigged baitfish behind a moving boat, covering vast expanses of open water in search of these elusive fish. Trolling allows anglers to present their baits at various depths and distances from the boat, increasing the likelihood of enticing a strike from passing albacore tuna. Anglers may also use outriggers to spread multiple lines across the water, maximizing their chances of attracting these pelagic predators.

Another technique for albacore tuna fishing in Miami is deep drop fishing. Anglers deploy weighted rigs with bait or lures to depths where albacore tuna are known to feed. This method requires specialized equipment, including heavy-duty rods and reels capable of handling deep drops and powerful strikes. Anglers may also use electronic fish finders to locate schools of albacore tuna and identify optimal depths for deploying their rigs. While deep drop fishing for albacore tuna requires patience and precision, it can yield rewarding results when executed effectively.

Jigging is another effective technique for targeting albacore tuna in Miami's offshore waters. Anglers use heavy metal jigs or lures to mimic the movement of injured or fleeing baitfish, enticing albacore tuna to strike. Jigging can be particularly effective when albacore tuna are feeding near the seafloor or in deeper offshore areas. Anglers may vary their jigging technique, including speed and depth of the jigging motion, to find the most productive approach for enticing albacore tuna. With its versatility and effectiveness, jigging is a popular choice among anglers targeting albacore tuna in Miami.

What other species are popular in Miami?

In addition to albacore tuna, anglers exploring Miami's offshore waters have a diverse range of other species to target for thrilling fishing experiences. One popular catch among anglers is the yellowfin tuna, prized for its impressive size, speed, and fighting abilities. Yellowfin tuna are commonly found in the offshore waters of Miami, particularly during the warmer months, and are often encountered near offshore structures such as seamounts, oil rigs, and underwater canyons. Anglers target yellowfin tuna using a variety of techniques, including trolling with artificial lures or rigged baitfish, live baiting, and chunking. With their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps, yellowfin tuna provide anglers with thrilling battles and memorable fishing experiences.

Another prized species in Miami's offshore waters is the mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado. Mahi-mahi are abundant in the offshore waters of Miami, especially during the warmer months, and can often be found near floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures. Anglers target mahi-mahi using a variety of techniques, including trolling with brightly colored lures or rigged baitfish, casting with small jigs or lures, and drifting with live bait or chum. With their vibrant colors and delicious flesh, mahi-mahi provide anglers with thrilling battles and a tasty reward for their efforts.

Miami's offshore waters also offer opportunities to catch a variety of other species, including sailfish, wahoo, kingfish, and marlin. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or offshore charter, anglers can enjoy the thrill of targeting a diverse range of fish species throughout the year. With its rich biodiversity and abundance of fishing opportunities, Miami remains a premier destination for anglers seeking unforgettable offshore adventures and the chance to land a trophy-sized catch.
