Captain John is located at the exciting Bayside Marketplace and Marina right in the heart of downtown Miami and just 5 minutes away from South Beach (just over MacArthur Causeway). Fish the Waters of Miami and Key Biscayne for some of the world's most prized sport fish! These trips are fantastic because there is only a short run to the fishing grounds. The water gets deep two miles offshore as you pass South Beach and Key Biscayne just off Miami. This means that you can still expect to chase down Sailfish, Kingfish, Blackfin Tuna, and other species on a short trip. The boat offers all types of tackle, from ultra-light to monster tackle. Everything is supplied for your trip except catering (beverages and/or food). Catering is easily arranged when you place your reservation. The boat features a fighting chair, rocket launcher, outriggers, and a large bait well. For your comfort in the air-conditioned saloon, there is a 32" flat-screen TV, stereo, comfortable seating with head and galley, and stateroom down. Your guide, Captain John, has been fishing the local and Bahamian waters for over thirty years, and he will ensure you have a pleasant trip. Bayside Marketplace, our place of departure, is in the heart of renovated downtown Miami and the Mall is host to the Hard Rock Cafe, Hooters, and a myriad of cafes and boutiques. From this dock, it is a short and interesting ride to the ocean past cruise ships at Dodge Island and million-dollar homes that are dotted around the channels and cuts. Read More

What is cobia fishing in Pompano Beach all about?

Cobia, also known as ling or lemonfish, are a highly sought-after species among anglers in Pompano Beach, Florida. These large and powerful fish are known for their impressive size, strong fighting abilities, and delicious flesh, making them a favorite target for both recreational and sport fishermen. Cobia can be found in a variety of habitats, including nearshore waters, offshore reefs, wrecks, and around buoys. Their migratory patterns often bring them close to the coast of Pompano Beach, providing anglers with ample opportunities to target them throughout the year.

Cobia fishing in Pompano Beach is most productive during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall, when water temperatures are higher and cobia are more active. During this time, cobia migrate along the coastline in search of food, following baitfish schools and warmer waters. Anglers targeting cobia in Pompano Beach often use a variety of techniques, including sight fishing, trolling, and bottom fishing with live bait or artificial lures. Their aggressive nature and willingness to strike make cobia a thrilling species to pursue, offering anglers exciting battles and memorable catches.

In addition to their sport fishing appeal, cobia are also prized for their culinary qualities. Their firm, white flesh is mild and flavorful, making them a popular choice for seafood enthusiasts. Cobia can be prepared in various ways, including grilling, baking, frying, or even raw as sushi or sashimi. Many anglers in Pompano Beach enjoy not only the thrill of catching cobia but also the satisfaction of preparing and enjoying a delicious meal from their fresh catch. Overall, targeting cobia in Pompano Beach offers anglers a rewarding and unforgettable fishing experience in the rich waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

What are the most popular months to fish for cobia fishing in Pompano Beach?

Cobia seasons in Pompano Beach, Florida, are influenced by various factors such as water temperature, migration patterns, and spawning behavior. Generally, the prime seasons for targeting cobia coincide with the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. During this time, water temperatures rise, triggering cobia to migrate along the coastlines in search of food and suitable spawning grounds. Anglers in Pompano Beach can anticipate increased cobia activity and more opportunities for successful catches during these peak seasons.

Late spring and summer are particularly productive seasons for cobia fishing in Pompano Beach. As water temperatures climb, cobia become more active and move into shallower waters, making them more accessible to anglers. During this time, cobia can often be found near reefs, wrecks, buoys, and other underwater structures where they congregate to feed and spawn. Anglers targeting cobia during these seasons often use a variety of techniques, including sight fishing, trolling, and bottom fishing with live bait or artificial lures.

While cobia can be caught year-round in Pompano Beach, their numbers may fluctuate depending on seasonal variations and migration patterns. During the cooler months, cobia may move to deeper offshore waters or migrate southward in search of warmer temperatures. Anglers targeting cobia should monitor water conditions and stay informed about seasonal changes to maximize their chances of success. By timing their trips to coincide with peak cobia seasons, anglers in Pompano Beach can enjoy thrilling fishing experiences and the opportunity to reel in these prized game fish.

What techniques are popular for catching cobia in Pompano Beach?

Cobia fishing in Pompano Beach, Florida, requires anglers to employ various techniques to maximize their chances of success. One popular method is sight fishing, which involves scanning the water's surface for cobia swimming near the surface or following larger marine animals such as rays, turtles, or sharks. Once spotted, anglers can cast live bait or artificial lures towards the cobia and entice them to strike. This technique is especially effective in shallow waters, near reefs, wrecks, or along the coastline.

Trolling is another effective technique for targeting cobia in Pompano Beach. Anglers can troll along the coastline or nearshore waters using lures or rigged baits to cover a large area and locate schools of cobia. Many anglers prefer to troll with large diving plugs, spoons, or skirted baits in various colors to mimic the baitfish that cobia feed on. By adjusting trolling speeds and depths, anglers can present their lures at the optimal depth to attract cobia and provoke strikes.

Bottom fishing with live bait is a popular technique for targeting cobia around reefs, wrecks, and underwater structures in Pompano Beach. Anglers can use live bait such as pinfish, mullet, or blue runners rigged on heavy-duty tackle to entice cobia from the depths. Dropping baits to the bottom and allowing them to drift naturally with the current can attract cobia lurking near the structure. Additionally, anglers can use chum bags to create a scent trail and attract cobia to their fishing location. With the right techniques and a bit of patience, anglers in Pompano Beach can enjoy successful cobia fishing outings throughout the year.

What other species are popular in Pompano Beach?

Aside from cobia, Pompano Beach offers anglers a rich diversity of fish species to target, providing a wide range of fishing opportunities for both novice and experienced fishermen. One popular species among anglers in the area is the king mackerel, also known as kingfish. These fast-swimming predators can be found in both nearshore and offshore waters around Pompano Beach, particularly near reefs, wrecks, and along the coastline. Anglers targeting king mackerel often use trolling techniques with rigged baits or artificial lures to entice strikes, making for thrilling battles and rewarding catches.

Another sought-after species in Pompano Beach is the snook, prized for its powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. Snook can be found in a variety of habitats, including estuaries, mangrove shorelines, and inlets. Anglers targeting snook often use live bait such as pilchards, mullet, or shrimp, as well as artificial lures like plugs, jigs, or soft plastics. Snook fishing in Pompano Beach can be productive year-round, with peak seasons typically occurring during the warmer months when water temperatures are higher and snook are more active.

Additionally, Pompano Beach offers opportunities to catch a variety of other species, including tarpon, redfish, grouper, snapper, tuna, wahoo, and mahi-mahi, among others. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or the shoreline, anglers visiting Pompano Beach can enjoy thrilling encounters with a diverse range of game fish, each providing its own unique challenges and rewards. With its abundance of fish species and picturesque coastal scenery, Pompano Beach remains a popular destination for anglers seeking memorable fishing experiences in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

    Captain Tyler took our family out for an afternoon excursion. The sport fishing was a bit soft, but Tyler put us on a couple of small game fish while we were hunting for monsters. The group agreed to move to the more shallow reefs, where we put upward of 30 fish in the boat over 90 minutes, including several keepers with meat on the bones. Tyler cleaned the fish for us and recommended a restaurant nearby that would cook our catch, which meant an easy and clean dinner for Mom! We had a great time with Tyler.

    We were fishing in late December and the fish just were not biting. But he TRIED. Ended up catching maybe ten keepers. He offered a return trip at half price.
