trip description for Swordfish Trip - 30' Dusky in Pompano Beach

Head out with Captain Tyler for an epic offshore adventure chasing the elusive Swordfish! Your Captain will start the day by rigging and prepping specialty baits for this trip prior to your arrival. A stop at the bait patch is also necessary as you will be fishing your way out to the deep water; for these Swordfish trips, you will head offshore up to 30 miles. On top of chasing Swords, you can also have opportunities for Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and maybe even a Marlin on this trip as well. Once you get out to their swordfish spot, your Captain will deep drop one line then drift along the ledge for up to 1 hour at a time. Your Captain will make as many drifts as time will allow and you will fish our way back to shore. Swordfishing is a very patient process. But the rewards are well worth it! For your trip, you will be aboard one of their 30' Dusky that gives you a first-class fishing experience off Florida's Atlantic Coast. Your comfort and safety are their highest priority, and they earn their stripes every day by making your catch the biggest haul back at the dock! Captain Tyler will supply all licenses, bait, and gear! They will also provide a cooler and ice. All they ask is to keep in mind how long you will be on the water when bringing drinks and snacks! You can also bring an extra ice chest to take your catch home with you or have one of several local companies ship the fish home. Read More

What is swordfish in Miami all about?

Swordfish, with their iconic long bill and impressive size, are a prized catch among anglers in Miami's offshore waters. These powerful predators inhabit the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean, where they roam in search of prey such as squid, fish, and crustaceans. Known for their elusive nature and nocturnal feeding habits, swordfish present a thrilling challenge for anglers seeking an unforgettable fishing experience. Miami's strategic location along the Gulf Stream makes it an ideal destination for targeting these majestic fish.

The prime season for swordfish fishing in Miami typically extends from late spring through early fall, when warmer water temperatures and favorable currents attract these fish closer to the coastline. Anglers often venture offshore to depths of 1,500 feet or more, where swordfish are known to patrol the depths in search of prey. While swordfish can be caught year-round in Miami's waters, anglers may find the most success during these peak months when swordfish are more active and feeding.

Anglers employ specialized techniques such as deep dropping or daytime swordfishing to target these elusive giants. Deep dropping involves deploying heavy tackle and rigged baits or lures to depths where swordfish are known to reside, while daytime swordfishing utilizes electric reels to quickly and efficiently drop baits to the desired depth. Once a swordfish is hooked, anglers must be prepared for a formidable battle, as these fish are known for their strength and endurance. With its combination of challenging fishing techniques and the potential for landing a trophy-sized fish, swordfish fishing remains a thrilling pursuit for anglers in the vibrant waters of Miami.

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

In Miami's offshore waters, the swordfish season offers anglers a unique and exhilarating fishing experience that varies throughout the year. While swordfish can be found in the area's waters year-round, certain seasons present more favorable conditions for targeting these elusive giants. Generally, the prime season for swordfish fishing in Miami typically extends from late spring through early fall, coinciding with warmer water temperatures and favorable currents that attract swordfish closer to the coastline.

During the warmer months, swordfish migrate closer to the surface and can often be found in depths ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 feet or more. Anglers venture offshore to target these majestic fish using specialized techniques such as deep dropping or daytime swordfishing. These methods involve deploying heavy tackle and rigged baits or lures to the desired depth, where swordfish are known to patrol in search of prey. Anglers may find the most success during these peak months when swordfish are more active and feeding, offering thrilling battles and the chance to land a trophy-sized fish.

While late spring through early fall marks the peak swordfish season in Miami, opportunities to target these giants can still arise during other times of the year. Swordfish can be caught year-round in Miami's waters, but anglers may need to adjust their fishing tactics and explore different areas depending on seasonal variations in water temperature, currents, and prey availability. By staying informed about seasonal patterns and adapting their fishing strategies accordingly, anglers can maximize their chances of success while enjoying the thrill of targeting swordfish in the vibrant offshore waters of Miami.

What techniques are popular for catching swordfish in Miami?

In Miami's offshore waters, swordfish fishing requires anglers to employ specialized techniques tailored to the deep and often challenging conditions where these majestic fish reside. One common method for targeting swordfish is deep dropping, which involves deploying heavy tackle and rigged baits or lures to depths of 1,500 feet or more where swordfish are known to patrol. Anglers use electric reels or manual winches to drop their baits to the desired depth, then wait patiently for a strike. This technique requires precision and patience, as swordfish can be elusive and may take some time to locate.

Another popular technique for swordfish fishing in Miami is daytime swordfishing, which has gained popularity in recent years due to advancements in technology and equipment. Anglers use specialized electric reels to quickly and efficiently drop baits to the desired depth during daylight hours, allowing them to target swordfish in deeper waters while maximizing their fishing time. This method requires careful monitoring of the depth and position of the bait, as well as quick reflexes to hook and fight the powerful swordfish once a strike occurs.

Regardless of the technique used, swordfish fishing in Miami requires anglers to be well-prepared with heavy-duty tackle, rigged baits or lures, and specialized equipment such as electric reels or manual winches. Swordfish are known for their strength and endurance, and landing one requires skill, patience, and determination. By mastering the intricacies of deep dropping or daytime swordfishing and staying informed about seasonal patterns and conditions, anglers can maximize their chances of success while enjoying the thrill of targeting swordfish in the vibrant offshore waters of Miami.

What other species are popular in Miami?

In addition to the excitement of targeting swordfish, Miami's waters offer anglers a diverse range of other species to pursue for thrilling fishing experiences. One popular catch among anglers is the mahi-mahi, known for its vibrant colors and acrobatic leaps. These pelagic fish are abundant in Miami's offshore waters, particularly 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 live bait, casting with small jigs or lures, and drifting with live bait or chum slicks. With their aggressive strikes and impressive fighting abilities, mahi-mahi provide anglers with memorable battles and delicious table fare.

Another prized species in Miami's offshore waters is the sailfish, renowned for its incredible speed and aerial displays. These majestic fish inhabit the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, where they feed on baitfish and other prey. Anglers often target sailfish by trolling with live bait or artificial lures, keeping an eye out for signs of feeding activity such as birds diving or baitfish jumping. Once hooked, sailfish put on a spectacular show with their dazzling jumps and powerful runs, offering anglers an exhilarating challenge and the chance to land a trophy-sized fish.

In addition to mahi-mahi and sailfish, Miami's offshore waters offer opportunities to catch a variety of other pelagic species, including tuna, wahoo, kingfish, and marlin. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or charter vessel, anglers can enjoy the thrill of targeting a diverse range of fish species in the vibrant offshore waters of Miami. With its rich biodiversity and abundance of fishing opportunities, Miami remains a premier destination for anglers seeking unforgettable experiences on the open ocean.

    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!

    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.
