trip description for Big Game Expedition - 60' Hatteras in Miami

Climb aboard this 60' luxury sportfishing vessel to catch Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and tons of other species while staying in sight of the shoreline with Captain Nelson! For all Captain Nelson's trips, the majority of the fishing in Miami is done just 2 to 3 miles offshore! Adding more time to your trip with Captain Nelson gives you more time to catch more species and bigger specimens. For these half or 3/4 day trips, you will mostly be trolling live bait to catch these species. That being said, Captain Nelson specializes in customizing each trip to fit your needs, so let us know if there is something specific you'd like to target or try with Captain Nelson and we'll get you quoted on a custom trip no problem! His professional, experienced crew will ensure a successful fishing trip or just a fun day on the water! Captain Nelson spends a lot of time before all his trips to make sure baits are prepped and equipment is ready to go, so you'll be ready to start trolling as soon as possible after leaving the dock!

    We had a great full day trip with Captain Chris. Chris really helped my wife with his patience and encouragement fight big fish in deep water and use lighter tackle at the shallower wreck. She landed nice yellowtail, yellow jack, mackerel and amberjack. Chris worked hard all day keeping us in fish and rigged as the shark tax was high though the morning. At the end of the day we got great local restaurant recommendations and tips on cooking our catch. Loved the boat playlist! Highly recommend and hope to come back to fish with Chris again.
