About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Ryan and prepare for an action-packed day of bay fishing! Biscayne Bay is the perfect spot for getting the unique experience of the Florida Keys while just outside a big city.

On this 4 to 8-hour trip, Captain Ryan will take you into the Biscayne Bay inshores where you can expect to target Barracuda, Bonefish, Permit, and Redfish. You'll be using light tackle to attract these sought-after fish. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced fisher, Captain Ryan will take you to the prime spots and give you some helpful pointers.

Captain Ryan highly recommends booking at least 2-3 days of fishing, this will help to accommodate weather conditions, and allow you to get used to seeing and reading the fish, as well as making sure your casting skills are on point!

Captain Ryan will provide all rods, reels, and tackle. All you need is a valid Florida fishing license as well as some food and drinks. Come visit Miami and have a super fun time on the water with Captain Ryan!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
