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

26 ft 1 - 6 People From $108 / person

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 lane snapper in Miami all about?

In the diverse marine environment of Miami, the lane snapper emerges as a notable species among anglers seeking both recreational enjoyment and culinary delights. Lane snapper, characterized by their distinct red and yellow stripes along their body, inhabit the reefs, wrecks, and rocky outcroppings found in the nearshore and offshore waters of Miami. These fish are known for their relatively small size compared to other snapper species, making them a popular target for anglers looking for a fun and rewarding fishing experience.

The prime season for targeting lane snapper in Miami typically extends from late spring through early fall, coinciding with their peak feeding activity and migration patterns. During this time, lane snapper can be found congregating around structure-rich areas, where they feed on small crustaceans, fish, and other prey. Anglers often employ a variety of techniques to entice lane snapper into biting, including bottom fishing with live or cut bait, jigging with small lures or jigs, and drifting over productive areas while using light tackle rigs.

Aside from their sporting qualities, lane snapper are also prized for their delicate and flavorful flesh, making them a sought-after species for seafood enthusiasts. Whether grilled, baked, or fried, the tender meat of lane snapper offers a delicious dining experience that's sure to please the palate. With their combination of exciting fishing opportunities and culinary appeal, lane snapper remain a cherished species among anglers exploring the vibrant waters of Miami's coastline.

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

In Miami's bustling fishing scene, understanding the seasonal patterns of lane snapper is essential for anglers looking to optimize their chances of success. The prime season for targeting lane snapper in Miami typically spans from late spring to early fall, aligning with their peak feeding activity and migration patterns. During these months, lane snapper can be found inhabiting the reefs, wrecks, and rocky outcroppings in both nearshore and offshore waters, where they feed voraciously on small crustaceans, fish, and other prey.

As temperatures rise and marine life becomes more active, lane snapper migrate closer to the coastline of Miami, drawn by the abundance of baitfish and favorable water conditions. Anglers capitalize on this seasonal movement by employing a variety of fishing techniques, including bottom fishing with live or cut bait, jigging with small lures or jigs, and drifting over productive areas while using light tackle rigs. With their sharp senses and voracious appetites, lane snapper eagerly respond to well-presented baits, offering anglers exciting opportunities to hook into these prized fish throughout the season.

While late spring to early fall marks the peak season for lane snapper fishing in Miami, opportunities to target these prized fish can still arise during other times of the year. However, anglers should be mindful of seasonal variations in water temperatures and currents, as well as changes in the availability of baitfish, which can influence the movements and behavior of lane snapper. By staying attuned to these seasonal patterns and adjusting their fishing strategies accordingly, anglers can maximize their chances of success while enjoying the excitement and challenge of targeting lane snapper in the vibrant waters of Miami.

What techniques are popular for catching lane snapper in Miami?

When it comes to targeting lane snapper in Miami's waters, anglers employ a range of specialized techniques to increase their chances of success. One effective method is bottom fishing, where anglers use light tackle rigs and small hooks to present live or cut bait near the ocean floor, where lane snapper are known to congregate around structure-rich areas. Reefs, wrecks, and rocky outcroppings are prime locations to find lane snapper, and anglers often drift or anchor near these spots to maximize their chances of hooking into these prized fish.

Another popular technique for lane snapper fishing in Miami is jigging. Anglers use small jigs or lures, often tipped with a piece of bait, to mimic the movements of small prey fish and entice lane snapper into biting. By jigging the lure up and down near structure or over productive areas, anglers can trigger strikes from hungry snapper. This method requires finesse and patience, but it can be highly effective in enticing lane snapper to strike.

Drifting over productive areas while using light tackle rigs is also a successful technique for targeting lane snapper in Miami. Anglers position their boat strategically near reefs, wrecks, or other structure-rich areas where lane snapper are known to feed, then drift with the current while presenting live or cut bait. This allows anglers to cover a larger area of water and increase their chances of encountering feeding snapper. With their keen senses and voracious appetites, lane snapper readily respond to this technique, providing anglers with exciting opportunities to hook into these prized fish.

What other species are popular in Miami?

While lane snapper fishing offers a rewarding experience in Miami's waters, anglers have a plethora of other species to target for diverse fishing adventures. One popular species among anglers is the mahi-mahi, also known as dolphinfish or dorado. These colorful and fast-swimming fish are abundant in the offshore waters of Miami, particularly during the spring and summer months. Anglers often target mahi-mahi by trolling with brightly colored lures or live bait, capitalizing on their voracious appetite and willingness to strike. Not only do mahi-mahi provide thrilling battles, but they also offer delicious table fare, making them a favorite among both recreational and commercial fishermen.

Another prized catch in Miami's waters is the king mackerel, renowned for its speed and powerful runs. These pelagic fish are often found in offshore waters, particularly around baitfish schools and structures like reefs and wrecks. Anglers use a variety of techniques, including trolling with live bait or artificial lures, to target king mackerel. With their aggressive strikes and impressive fighting abilities, king mackerel offer anglers exhilarating battles and the chance to land a trophy-sized fish.

In addition to mahi-mahi and king mackerel, Miami offers opportunities to catch a wide range of other species, including sailfish, snapper, grouper, tarpon, wahoo, and more. Whether fishing from a charter boat, pier, or shoreline, anglers can enjoy the thrill of targeting a variety of fish species throughout the year. With its rich biodiversity and favorable climate, Miami remains a premier destination for anglers seeking unforgettable fishing experiences and bountiful catches in the vibrant waters of South Florida.

    I would highly recommend fishing with George. He is super knowledgeable about the area fishing and he kept me busy catching fish. George is also just a cool dude who was fun to be around during and after fishing. His yacht club cooked up our fish after George cleaned them. It was great! We brought 5 fish in and put at least that many back in the water.

    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.
