    Money well spent!

    1/2 Night Trip (Inshore) on June 7, 2025 • 3 adults

    Captain Marcos was a great guy to have as a guide through all the flats and channels. Very calm and cool guy. Super observant of his surroundings and seems to have a vast knowledge of the water and fishing. He’s made a life out of being on a boat and knows where the fish are. He tirelessly worked whether we were trolling, drifting, or motoring from spot to spot. He gave us multiple opportunities at different species and different live bate/lures. Can’t go wrong with Captain Marcos!

    Mutton Snapper
    Fall Fishing in South Florida: Inshore Action You Don’t Want to Miss There’s something special about fall in South Florida. The mornings are a little cooler, the skies are painted with golden sunrises, and for anglers, it’s one of the best times of the year to hit the water. The inshore bite is absolutely on fire right now — and if you love light-tackle fishing, this is your season to shine. Out in the finger channels, the action has been nonstop. Mutton snappers, groupers, mangrove snappers, and yellow jacks are stacking up and feeding aggressively. Every drop or cast feels like it could be the next big bite. The best part? The pilchards — our go-to baitfish — have been thick and easy to catch, which means less time searching for bait and more time fighting fish. Once you start live-chumming with those pilchards, get ready for a show. The mutton snappers have been doing cartwheels out of the water, practically racing each other to grab the next free meal. It’s an incredible sight — watching a hungry snapper launch itself after the very bait you just tossed. And it’s not just the main targets biting. In between the snappers and groupers, you’ll hook into all kinds of surprise catches — a mixed bag that keeps every trip exciting. The light tackle makes it even better, letting you feel every head shake and surge, turning each fight into an adventure. If you’ve been thinking about getting out for some inshore fishing in South Florida, now’s the time. The fish are feeding, the weather’s perfect, and the experience is unforgettable. At Big Scale Fishing Miami, we specialize in personalized inshore and offshore fishing charters that put you right where the action is. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or brand new to the sport, we’ll get you on the fish and make sure you have an awesome day on the water. Book your next trip today and come see for yourself why fall fishing in South Florida is something every angler should experience at least once.

    There has been a great snook bite the past couple weeks and should continue with the mullet pushing in. We've been targeting them on live bait and artificial. Along with snook, there has been some nice tarpon, snappers, and even triptails! Come get in on the action!
