Miami Beach 6-Hour AM/PM Offshore Charter Trip

Reel in Excitement: Miami's Offshore Bounty

Hey there, anglers! Ready to hit the high seas and tangle with some of Miami's finest fish? Our Extended Half Day Morning Fishing Trip is your ticket to offshore action. We're talking King Mackerel that'll make your drag sing, Grey Snapper that'll test your finesse, and Grouper that'll have you grunting with effort. Whether you're a seasoned salt or just getting your sea legs, we've got the know-how to put you on the fish.

What's the Deal on Deck?

Picture this: You're cruising out of Miami Beach Haulover as the sun's coming up, the skyline fading behind you. We've got 6 hours to make magic happen, and trust me, that time flies when the bite is on. We'll hit Biscayne Bay and beyond, switching up tactics to keep the rods bent. One minute you're trolling for kings, the next you're dropping jigs for grouper. It's all about reading the water and giving those fish what they want.

Fishing That Fits the Bill

We don't mess around when it comes to putting fish in the box. We'll be pulling out all the stops - trolling, jigging, bottom fishing - whatever it takes. Our center console is rigged to the nines, ready for whatever the ocean throws our way. We'll start by maybe snagging some live bait, 'cause nothing beats the real deal for enticing those big boys. Then it's game on. We might start by slow-trolling for kings, watching those rods for the telltale dip. Or maybe we'll drop some jigs down deep, feeling for that distinctive thump of a grouper taking the bait. It's all about staying flexible and following the fish.

Raving Reelers

"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!" - Stewart

"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!" - Jon

"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." - Karl

Fish on the Hit List

Gag Grouper: These bruisers are the heavyweight champs of the reef. They love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting wrecks and ledges. Gags can grow over 50 pounds, and when they hit, you better hold on tight. They're ambush predators, so a well-placed jig or live bait can trigger an explosive strike. The fight is all about power - you gotta muscle them up before they dive back into their rocky lairs.

Scamp Grouper: Don't let their smaller size fool you - Scamps are pound-for-pound fighters. These guys are usually found a bit deeper than their Gag cousins, often hanging out in waters over 100 feet deep. They've got a sweet, delicate flavor that makes them a prized catch for the dinner table. We'll be dropping baits right into their neighborhood, looking for that distinctive grouper thump.

Grey Snapper: Also known as Mangrove Snapper, these guys are the tricksters of the reef. They're wary and quick, with a knack for stealing bait. But when you hook up, it's game on. We'll be using light tackle and small hooks to fool these smart fish. They school up, so when we find them, it can be non-stop action. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like a fresh snapper fillet on the grill.

Red Grouper: These copper-colored beauties are a staple of the Gulf. They're not as big as Gags, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. Red Grouper are opportunistic feeders, so we'll be using a variety of baits to tempt them - everything from live pinfish to cut squid. They love to hug the bottom, so precise anchoring and bait placement is key.

King Mackerel: Now we're talking speed demons. Kings are the sprinters of the sea, capable of blistering runs that'll have your reel screaming. We'll be trolling for these bad boys, using either live bait or flashy artificial lures. When a King hits, it's all about that first run - if you can survive that, you're in for a fight. They're seasonal visitors, so we time our trips to hit the peak of the run.

Time to Get Hooked Up

Alright, folks, let's cut to the chase - if you're looking for a fishing trip that delivers the goods, you've found it.
