Miami's Finest Catches
Miami's Ultimate Offshore Adventure
Ready for a day of serious fishing action? Our full-day trip out of North Miami is your ticket to some of the best offshore angling around. We're talking 8 solid hours on the water, chasing after the big boys like grouper, tuna, and more. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, our experienced captains know exactly where to find the hot spots. With top-notch gear and room for up to 6 anglers, we've got everything set for an epic day of fishing. So grab your hat and sunscreen – it's time to hit the blue water and make some memories!
What to Expect on the Water
As we push off from the Miami coastline, you'll feel the excitement building. Our seasoned captains have been fishing these waters for years, and they know all the secret spots where the big fish hang out. We'll be targeting a mix of species, from hard-fighting amberjack to tasty black grouper. The gear we use is top-of-the-line, so you can focus on the thrill of the catch without worrying about equipment failure. And with 8 full hours on the water, you'll have plenty of time to try different techniques and locations. Just remember, the fish aren't guaranteed to cooperate, but that's all part of the fun!
Techniques and Tactics
Out here, we mix it up depending on what's biting. For those amberjack and grouper, we might do some deep dropping or jigging over structure. When we're after mahi-mahi, we'll often troll with rigged ballyhoo or artificial lures. And for the blackfin tuna, get ready for some fast-paced action as we chunk bait or use light tackle to cast poppers. Our crew will be right there with you, showing you the ropes and helping you perfect your technique. Don't worry if you're new to this – we'll have you fishing like a pro in no time.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Blackfin Tuna: These speedsters are a blast to catch. They're usually in the 15-30 pound range, but don't let their size fool you – they fight like fish twice their weight. We often find them in schools, so when you hook one, be ready for more action. They're great eating too, perfect for some fresh sashimi right on the boat.
Mahi Mahi: Also known as dolphinfish, these are some of the most beautiful fish in the ocean. With their bright colors and acrobatic jumps, they're a favorite among anglers. We typically catch them in the 10-30 pound range, but bigger ones are out there. They're most active in the warmer months and are known for their delicious, flaky white meat.
Greater Amberjack: These bruisers will give you a workout. Often called "reef donkeys" for their stubborn fights, amberjack can weigh up to 100 pounds or more. We usually find them around wrecks and reefs. Be prepared for a battle when you hook one of these powerhouses.
Bull Shark: While we're not specifically targeting them, bull sharks are a common catch in these waters. They can grow up to 11 feet long and put up one heck of a fight. We practice catch and release with these apex predators, so get ready for some amazing photos before we send them back.
Black Grouper: These bottom-dwellers are prized for their tasty white flesh. They're ambush predators, so we'll be dropping baits near structure to entice them. Black grouper can get big, sometimes over 100 pounds, and they're known for their powerful initial run when hooked. Landing a big grouper is always a highlight of any trip.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Or perhaps it's the thrill of never knowing what might take your bait next. Our repeat customers often tell us it's the combination of great fishing, knowledgeable guides, and the chance to create lasting memories with friends and family. Plus, with the Miami skyline as your backdrop, the views aren't too shabby either!

Learn more about the species
Black Grouper
Black Grouper are the bruisers of the reef, commonly reaching 2-3 feet but can grow over 5 feet and 100 pounds. You'll find them around structure in 30-300 feet of water, with bigger fish typically deeper. Fall through spring is prime time as they move shallower to spawn. Anglers love Black Grouper for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. They're ambush predators, so fishing near the bottom with live bait or large jigs is the way to go. A local tip: when you feel that first thump, reel fast and hard to pull them away from their rocky homes. Use heavy tackle - at least 80-pound braid and a stout rod. The meat is mild and firm, perfect for grilling or blackening. Just be aware of size and season regulations before keeping one for dinner.
Blackfin Tuna
Blackfin Tuna are the smallest of the Thunnus genus, typically reaching 39 inches and 46 pounds. You'll find them in warm waters from Massachusetts down to Brazil, including right here off Miami. These guys are fast swimmers and fierce fighters, making them a blast to catch. They school up with Skipjack Tuna, often hanging around floating objects or structure. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but you can hook them year-round. Anglers love Blackfin for their tasty meat and the challenge they provide. To land one, try vertical jigging or chunking with scaled-down leaders and hooks - they've got sharp eyes. A local tip: use live pilchards as chum to really get them fired up. Just be ready for a hard fight when you hook up - these little tuna punch well above their weight class.
Bull Shark
Bull Sharks are the bad boys of our inshore waters, growing up to 11 feet and 500 pounds. You'll find them in shallow coastal areas, even up into freshwater rivers and canals. Summer's the best time to target them, but they're around year-round. These sharks are famous for their aggression and power, making them a real challenge on rod and reel. They'll eat just about anything, but fresh cut bait like mullet or ladyfish works great. For the best shot, fish near river mouths or inlets on a strong tide. Here's a local trick - use circle hooks to improve your hookup ratio and make releases easier. Just remember, these aren't fish to mess around with. Always use heavy tackle and be extra careful when handling them boatside.
Greater Amberjack
Greater Amberjacks are heavyweight contenders, often topping 100 pounds with a thick, powerful build. You'll find them around deep wrecks and reefs off Miami, usually in 60-250 feet of water. Spring and fall are peak seasons as they move inshore to spawn. Anglers love AJs for their brutal fights - they're called "reef donkeys" for a reason. Be ready for a workout when you hook one. They're not picky eaters, so live bait, jigs, or even poppers can work. For the best shot at a trophy, use heavy tackle and drop live blue runners or speedos down deep. Local tip: when you hook up, crank hard and fast to get them away from the structure, or they'll break you off quick. The meat's good eating too, just be aware of size and bag limits.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi Mahi are some of the most colorful fish you'll see, with golden sides and bright blue-green backs. They're fast growers, averaging 15-29 pounds but can hit 87 pounds. You'll find them in our warm offshore waters, often near floating debris or weed lines. Spring through fall is prime time, but we can catch them year-round here. Mahi are popular for their acrobatic fights and excellent table fare. To boost your chances, look for frigate birds working an area - that's often a sign of Mahi below. Try trolling with ballyhoo or squid, or cast live bait near floating structure. A local trick is to keep a hooked Mahi in the water to attract others - they're curious fish and will often bring the whole school to your boat.
