Fetched Up Charters
Fetched Up Charters
Fetched Up Charters specializes in light tackle sportfishing out of Miami, FL. Captain Leo has over 20 years of experience as a fisherman and captain. He specializes in live bait fishing, using top quality fishing gear and will customize your trip, from beginners to even the most experienced anglers. Capt. Leo takes pride in helping his guest pursue the fish of a lifetime!
You’ll be fishing on a 20’ SeaCraft center console that accommodates up to 3 guests. She’s equipped with necessary navigational electronics and safety equipment. However, if you’re bringing your kids on the boat, make sure to bring suitable life jackets for them.
Capt. Leo mostly runs inshore trips, where you can target Tarpon, Snook, Permit, Grouper, Jack Crevalle, and even Sharks. Fishing out of Miami is great because you don’t need to go far to target pelagic fish. This means you can target Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, or Kingfish only a few miles off the coast! In case you want to go fly fishing, bring your own equipment.
Fetched Up Charters has everything you need for a day of action – your rods, reels, and lures are covered. After the trip, the captain can clean your catch for 20% gratuity. Bring your food and drinks – there’s cold storage on the boat and everything will stay fresh.
The season is open year round and you can go fishing with Capt. Leo anytime. Choose the date and get ready to reel ‘em in!

Book Capt. Leo. Catch Big Fish.
Disclaimer: I like to paint the full picture so if you’re not one for reading and all you need to hear is that this charter is the best choice, then here you go! Look no further, Fetched Up Charters is the one for you! Now to the juice... Capt. Leo took me in and treated me as if I was his own mate while at the same time a student to his expertise. I’m emphasizing this because that type of cohesiveness between a captain and his mate, never mind a captain and his charter client (who he’s known for all of 10 minutes before leaving the dock!) is unheard of and something that will bring me back to Fetched Up Charters again and again. As an avid and lifelong fisherman, I have experienced many captains on boats of all sizes and I can tell you one thing. Capt. Leo has it dialed in. Don’t let the size of his boat fool you, with 2 rods off the kite and another 2-3 rods off the other side of the boat we were covering plenty of ground! It’s not the boat nor the rod that catches the fish, it’s the years of experience, trial and error, and if you’re a real angler, countless failures, that make someone a true fisherman. May 31, 2021, however, was no failure! While on a 3/4 day (6hr) afternoon charter, Capt. Leo carefully navigated myself and my (and she’ll kill me for saying this but) fishing novice girlfriend, through Haulover Inlet safely and smoothly, and after a 20 minute rip out to the fabled “numba’s” he had us both, lines tight, hooked up on some of the biggest blackfin tuna I’ve ever seen! All in all, we caught (5) 25-30lb Tuna, (1) healthy Mahi Mahi, and oh yeah... an 80lb sailfish! My first sailfish! All I can say is what a day, a day that will go down in the books and that I hope to experience many many times again! Thank you Captain Leonardo for showing my girlfriend and I what South Florida fishing is all about and for giving both of us an experience we’ll never forget! If you made it this far, thanks for reading! Now stop overthinking and book the damn trip! You will not regret it! Stats: Kat —> 2 Tuna, 1 Mahi Mick —> 3 Tuna, 1 Sail Doesn’t matter the skill level, if you’re willing to listen Capt. Leo will teach you how to catch BIG fish!

Capt Lombera did a great job putting us on the fish. We started the morning drifting for Tarpon in Biscayne Bay. Which I had a distance release of one and brought a second in the 100 pound range to be leadered and released at boatside. We then went on to liveline pilchards at the various bridges along the intercoastal waterway having good success with Jack Crevalle. The trip ended working the jetties and open water beaches of North Miami where we did well on a school of large Jacks with multiple hook ups and releases. The Captain knows his water and worked to put us on the fish, his boat was equipped with excellent tackle and for a smaller boat it gave a smooth and comfortable ride. I would highly recommend this charter and would be happy to book with the Fetch Up again.

Tarpon Trip - Evening
Capt Leo is an awesome guy. Super nice, and very knowledgeable. He took my wife and I out on a tarpon trip last night for her birthday and our anniversary. We spent 5 min getting to our fishing location, and within another 5 min, we were hooked into a 120+ lb tarpon. I mean, you can't get any better than that. 5 tarpon caught total. Best was well over 150 lbs. Massive fish... Took about an hr to get to the boat We're beat up from the trip and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended. Thanks Capt Leo.
