One for the books today! Doug and I headed out this fall morning with partly cloudy skies and storms possible later. Early morning conditions looked good for getting lines in the water before any weather moved through. We ran out past the jetties targeting the wrecks around Miami for our Catch and cook. Sashimi/grilledfish trip with Bear Cut Bandit Charters.

With our gear rigged and ready, we worked the spread over some productive wreck structure. Bottom fishing and jigging produced solid results as we drifted the areas. Doug hooked up early with a nice Red Grouper that made the drag scream. The bite was hot as we continued working different wrecks, adding a quality Mutton Snapper and Black Grouper to the cooler. Miami's wreck fishing really shines when y'all can get on structure before the weather changes. We wrapped up cruisin' the flats back to the dock with a great cooler full for the grill.

The wrecks around Miami offer some of the best bottom fishing and drift fishing opportunities down by the glades. These structures hold quality Red Grouper, Mutton Snapper, and Black Grouper year-round, making them perfect for our Half Day Catch And Cook - Sashimi And Grilledfish adventures. If you're thinking about coming out with us for some serious wreck fishing action, Miami's artificial reefs and natural structure provide consistent opportunities to fill the cooler. Our Catch and cook. Sashimi/grilledfish trips let you experience the full cycle from hook to plate, targeting these prime eating fish over productive bottom structure. The combination of jigging and bottom fishing techniques we use puts you right in the strike zone where these fish are fired up around the boat.
