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 Night Monster Fishing Trip-Cubera/Goliath Grouper/Shark in Miami

This trip is fishing for monsters. The targeted species are Cubera Snapper, Goliath Grouper and Sharks. This is the ultimate big game trip next to Sword fishing which I offer as a day trip. This trip is about focussing on catching huge fish hanging around ship wrecks. The bait consists of whole fish with the average bait weighing around 5 pounds. The gear used are big game set ups, butt rods, 50 or 80 Penn International 2 speeds spooled with 100 lb braided line, followed by 600 lb test leader to 400 lb wire leader, ending with two giant 18/0 hooks. The trip is aboard, Posiedon, my new 36’ Yellowfin center console. This boat is the ultimate in offshore, big game boats. Powered with triple 275 hp Mercury Verados, it is very fast and handles like a Lamborgini. Yellowfin is hands down the sexiest center console ever made and they haven’t changed the hull design in over a decade. The sexy hull design pushes water away from the boat making it very dry as water rarely ever comes over the rail. The hull design also provides a stable base for handling the roughest Seas. The tricked out lighting includes 6 blue underwater lights making it epic for night fishing. The brand new computer systems consists of 2 completely independent systems. The first is a 12” Garmin chart plotter with radar, GPS and a fish finder that will tell you what type of fish it is at 2000’ deep! The second system is a 12” Raymarine chart plotter with 4’ open array radar, GPS, adaptive autopilot and fish finder with side scan sonar. The Fusion BT sound system will keep the tunes and good times going. There is a head on the boat for girls and emergencies. Captain BrYan has thousands of marked fishing spots on the computers and is offshore at night about 3-5 times a week. His extensive knowledge of the Ocean, Haulover Inlet and the Intercostal Water Ways will keep you safe in any situation. The Miami Beach skyline is epic at night from a boat. There aren’t too many places in the World where you can deep Sea fish a couple miles from shore and see such a beautiful city scene. Fishing for monsters, offshore, at night in the open Ocean while enjoying the beautiful view of Miami is something all fisher persons must experience. Captain BrYan has everything you need, just bring your food and drinks, beer and glass bottles are perfectly fine too! There will be bottled waters in a cooler with ice for you on the boat. Usually Sharks are catch and release with the average fish weighing over 300 lbs. If you want to harvest a Shark that is legal, then please let Captain BrYan know prior to the day of the trip. Shark cleaning fees start at $50 and go up depending on size. Goliath Grouper is catch and release only, unless you have won a tag from FWC in the annual drawing. If you have one of these tags, please let Captain BrYan know when you book the trip. Cubera Snapper are delicious and can be harvested. Complimentary cleaning for Cuberas under 20lbs, fish over 20 lbs are $25 each to be cleaned. Vacuum packing service is provided for an additional fee to be determined depending on size of catch. This trip is for everyone, especially children and beginners! Read More

What is cubera snapper in Miami all about?

Cubera snapper, known for their impressive size and strong fighting ability, are a sought-after species among anglers in Miami. These predatory fish are characterized by their large, robust bodies and powerful jaws, making them formidable opponents for anglers. Cubera snapper are typically found in nearshore and offshore waters, often inhabiting rocky reefs, wrecks, and other underwater structures where they lie in wait to ambush prey. In Miami, anglers can target cubera snapper year-round, although they are most commonly encountered during the warmer months when water temperatures are higher.

Fishing for cubera snapper in Miami requires specialized techniques and equipment to handle their size and strength. One effective method is bottom fishing with heavy tackle and large baits, such as whole fish or large cut bait, presented near rocky structures where cubera snapper are known to congregate. Anglers often anchor their boats and use strong fishing rods and reels to handle the powerful strikes and intense fights that can occur when hooking into a cubera snapper.

Another successful technique for targeting cubera snapper in Miami is vertical jigging, where anglers use heavy metal jigs or weighted rigs to bounce along the bottom in search of these predators. Vertical jigging allows anglers to cover a large area of water quickly and effectively, enticing strikes from cubera snapper lurking in the depths. Anglers should also be mindful of local regulations and guidelines governing the harvest and conservation of cubera snapper to ensure responsible fishing practices and the sustainability of fish populations in Miami's waters.

What are the most popular months to fish for cubera snapper in Miami?

In Miami, the seasons for targeting cubera snapper can vary throughout the year, influenced by factors such as water temperature, currents, and spawning patterns. While cubera snapper can be found in Miami's waters year-round, anglers often experience peak seasons during certain times of the year. Typically, the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, coincide with the most active periods for cubera snapper fishing in Miami. During these seasons, warmer water temperatures and increased baitfish activity draw cubera snapper closer to the coast, where they can be found inhabiting rocky reefs, wrecks, and other underwater structures.

During the cooler months, from fall through early spring, cubera snapper may still be present in Miami's waters, but they may be less abundant or more dispersed. Anglers may need to adjust their fishing techniques and locations during these seasons to maximize their chances of encountering cubera snapper. While cubera snapper can still be caught during the cooler months, anglers may find greater success by targeting them in deeper offshore waters or near structures such as reefs and wrecks where these fish may congregate.

Anglers in Miami should also be mindful of cubera snapper spawning seasons, which typically occur during the warmer months. During spawning periods, cubera snapper may gather in large numbers in specific areas to reproduce, providing anglers with excellent opportunities to target these prized fish. However, anglers should practice responsible fishing practices and avoid targeting spawning aggregations to ensure the sustainability of cubera snapper populations and support their long-term conservation in Miami's waters.

What techniques are popular for catching cubera snapper in Miami?

Fishing for cubera snapper in Miami demands specialized techniques to tackle these formidable predators. One effective method employed by anglers is bottom fishing with heavy tackle and large baits. Whole fish or sizable cut bait presented near rocky structures, wrecks, or reefs where cubera snapper frequently lurk can entice strikes from these powerful fish. Anglers often anchor their boats and utilize robust fishing rods and reels to handle the intense fights that ensue when hooking into a cubera snapper.

Vertical jigging is another successful technique for targeting cubera snapper in Miami. Anglers use heavy metal jigs or weighted rigs to bounce along the seabed, mimicking the movements of prey and attracting the attention of these predators. Vertical jigging allows anglers to cover a broad expanse of water swiftly and effectively, drawing strikes from cubera snapper inhabiting deeper offshore waters or submerged structures. This method requires precision and finesse to entice strikes from these cunning predators.

Moreover, anglers should stay attuned to the nuances of cubera snapper behavior and habitat preferences. Understanding the feeding patterns and preferred habitats of cubera snapper can significantly enhance fishing success. Additionally, being mindful of local regulations and conservation measures is crucial to safeguarding cubera snapper populations and preserving the health of Miami's marine ecosystem. With the right techniques and responsible fishing practices, anglers can enjoy rewarding experiences and the thrill of reeling in these prized cubera snapper in Miami's waters.

What other species are popular in Miami?

Apart from targeting cubera snapper, anglers in Miami have a plethora of other exciting species to pursue, each offering its own unique challenges and rewards. One popular target among anglers is the sailfish, famed for its impressive speed, acrobatic leaps, and sheer strength. These majestic fish are often found in offshore waters, particularly along the edge of the Gulf Stream and near underwater structures. Anglers typically target sailfish by trolling with rigged baits or live baitfish, keeping a keen eye out for surface disturbances or bird activity that may indicate the presence of feeding fish.

Another prized species in Miami's waters is the mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado. Mahi-mahi are renowned for their vibrant colors, aggressive strikes, and delectable flesh, making them a favorite among anglers. These fish are commonly found offshore near floating debris, weed lines, and temperature breaks, where they feed on small fish and crustaceans. Anglers can target mahi-mahi by trolling with rigged baits or casting lures near surface disturbances, providing thrilling encounters and the chance to reel in impressive catches.

Additionally, anglers in Miami can pursue a variety of other species, including king mackerel, wahoo, snapper, and grouper. Whether fishing from a boat, pier, or shoreline, Miami offers diverse opportunities for anglers of all skill levels and interests. With its abundance of fish species and expansive coastal waters, Miami remains a top destination for anglers seeking unforgettable fishing experiences and the chance to reel in trophy catches.

    What a nice experience the captain was the best

    Alex B. with Bryan M. of Miami, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    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.

    Incredible experience, captain Bryan knows how to catch fish and knows where the local giants are hiding. We cought a massive 300lb sand shark and several other species, captain was generious in sharing his knowlegde and experience with us and his loyal co-captain Tilly (chihuahua) made us feel welcome and made sure we had fun. I'd reccomend cap Bryan to anyone loking to CATCH fish in Miami waters!

    Fantastic trip overall! Captain Brian was so welcoming and fun, we caught huge fish and had a blast! Even the 5 year old with us loved it, he had plenty of water for us and a great clean bathroom on the boat. He made sure we had fun and we loved it. Will definitely be booking again when possible! Highly recommend.

    Leo is the best guide for a real sport fishing day. He knows the spots and what the fish want. I recommand Leo 200%.

    Hello 3/19/2023 Captian Bryan tried very hard to get fish for us but the lines kept getting severed , also it looks like he was missing a mate today so he had to drive the boat , fix new rigs etc. The scenery was great but we really wanted to catch some fish.

    Captain Bryan and his deckhand James, and Kila were AMAZING!!! I was so impressed! The trip was so great, I didn’t want it to end. Honestly, I can’t imagine going on another fishing trip without him. He is super knowledgeable, funny, and personable! He told us the name of each fish we caught, if we had to throw it back due to size, or due to not being in season. I learned so much! This trip was for my fiancé’s birthday and he had such a great time with our nieces and nephews. I’ve never went fishing my entire life and I caught the first fish! Thank you Captain Bryan and we look forward to being on the water with you again!
