Miami Beach 6-Hour AM/PM Offshore Charter Trip

Miami's Morning Fishing Frenzy: 6-Hour Charter

Trip Overview

Ready to kick off your day with some serious rod-bending action? Our 6-hour morning charter is the perfect way to start your Miami Beach adventure. We'll hit the water early, when the fish are hungry and the city's still waking up. You and five of your buddies will hop aboard our slick center console, and we'll cruise out to where the big ones are biting. Whether you're after the acrobatic King Mackerel, the tasty Grey Snapper, or the hard-fighting Grouper, we've got you covered. This isn't your average tourist trap fishing trip – we're talking about real, no-nonsense angling that'll have you hooked from the first cast.

Reels, Rods, and Hotspots

On this trip, we're not messing around. We'll be using a mix of tried-and-true techniques to put you on the fish. We'll start by trolling the edges of Haulover Inlet, dragging lures that mimic baitfish and get those Kings fired up. When we hit the reefs, it's time to switch gears. We'll drop jigs down deep, working them with a twitch-and-reel motion that Groupers just can't resist. For the Snappers, we'll set up a chum slick and use light tackle for some non-stop action. Bottom fishing is the name of the game here – feel that telltale thump, set the hook, and hold on tight! We know these waters like the back of our hand, so we'll hit all the local honey holes where the big boys hang out.

What Anglers Are Saying

"My son and I headed out for a fish with Bearcutbandit charters today. The weather wasn't kind but Alek still put us on some some awesome fish and we had a killer day! If you're in Miami, make sure you look Bearcutbandit charters up and get out for a fish with Alek 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼" - Stewart

"Great trip and Capt. Alek knows secrets! We started at 0700 with a trip down the beautiful Miami River. Picked up some live bait from a buddy of the Captain's outside Treasure Island. The Captain then put us on a spot that produced 30+ yellowtail snapper, 3 mackerel (1 keeper), and a bonita. We got a minimum of one bite per bait. Sometimes multiple bites per bait. Using mid-range spinning gear, it was non-stop action. Really, a perfect way to spend any morning. The Captain has a gorgeous center console that is perfect with this kind of trip. He is cordial, experienced, attentive, and focused on you having tight lines. We talked about many other fishing opportunities there in the Miami area and Capt. Alek would definitely be our go-to guy for exploring them. Highly recommend." - Karl

"Outstanding trip with my 13 year old son. We caught a few nice fat snappers, then went hunting for mahi and found a nice school! Kept 6 mahi and 3 snappers. Couldn't have been a better experience! Knowledgeable guide, independent operator, born & raised in these waters. He really knows how to put you on the fish! Filleted them perfectly for us as well (and I'm a Chef, pretty picky about that stuff). We will be back for sure!" - Jon

Target Species

Gag Grouper: These bruisers are the heavyweight champs of the reef. Gags love to hang around structure, so we'll be dropping baits near wrecks and rocky outcrops. They hit hard and fight dirty, trying to wrap you around any obstacle they can find. The challenge? Getting them up before they break you off. Gags are most active in the cooler months, making fall and winter prime time for trophy catches.

Scamp Grouper: Don't let their smaller size fool you – Scamps are pound-for-pound some of the scrappiest fish in the sea. These guys are known for their sweet, white meat, making them a top pick for the dinner table. We usually find them in slightly deeper water than their Gag cousins, often hanging around ledges and drop-offs. They're suckers for a well-presented jig, and when they hit, it's game on!

Grey Snapper: Also known as Mangrove Snapper, these guys are the tricksters of the reef. They're smart, they're quick, and they'll test your skills as an angler. We'll use light tackle and small hooks to fool these wary fish. The best part? They school up, so when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. And let me tell you, there's nothing like pulling up a cooler full of these tasty critters.

Red Grouper: These copper-colored beauties are the workhorses of the Grouper family. They're not as big as Gags, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers and table fare. Red Groupers love to hang around rocky bottoms and reefs, and they'll crush a live bait or jig with equal enthusiasm. The fight is all about power – they'll try to dive back into their holes, so you've got to turn them quick!

King Mackerel: Hold onto your hats, folks, because when a King Mackerel hits, it's like lightning on the end of your line. These speedsters can top 40 miles per hour and are known for their screaming runs and acrobatic jumps. We'll troll for them along the edges of the reefs, where they hunt for schools of baitfish. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but you can catch Kings year-round in Miami. Just be ready – when that reel starts singing, you're in for one wild ride!
