Miami Fishing Charters During Spring

Its been a while since our last report because the fishing off Miami has been wide open! Miami fishing charters during spring are our favorite trips because of the variety of different species you can run into at any given moment. Every day has been a little bit different, but there's a reason why our captains love springtime compared to the other times of the year. The fishing always seems to be incredible. On any given day offshore action can mean sailfish, dolphin, tuna, wahoo, marlin, amberjack and many more species. But don't think that this action is limited to the offshore arena. Inshore action has been red hot as well. Earlier in the month the seatrout bite was red hot and we marked over 100 releases in one day. The tarpon are still present on the beaches and inlets, and the snook bite is picking up as the water warms up. The bonefish and permit bite has been fantastic too, and sharks are ever present in water just barely deep enough to cover their dorsal fins. The weather in the afternoons is beginning to get a little wet, but otherwise nothing could be better than Miami fishing in spring.     On March 31 we spent the morning offshore and couldn't get away from the sailfish.

Final Tally - 4 sailfish and a dolphin

On April 8 we had no wind so we used helium to pop the kites up. The afternoon was red hot with sailfish pouring through. At the end of the day our group wanted to catch a tarpon, so we hit a couple areas and got one to finish the day off.

Final Tally - 3/3 on sailfish     May 10 our group was interested in finding some offshore fish, but a bout of seasickness had half of them in an uncomfortable state. To save the trip we headed inshore and got them hooked up on blue runners, yellow jacks, snapper, a big cuda, and as the grand finale a 7 ft 150lb bullshark.

Final Tally - 8 blue runners, 5 yellow jacks, 3 mangrove snapper, a 25lb cuda and a 150lb bullshark   On May 13 our group was interested in finding some light tackle bottom fish.
