Spend the day with Big Scale Fishing and get hooked on fishing in Miami! Captain Marcos will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of angling experience.

These waters are known for Snook, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, Pink Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, and more – with any luck, you’ll find out for yourself!

During the trip you might be spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Marcos can also have you kite fishing.

Trips with Big Scale Fishing are great for kids, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Capt. Marcos will bring you aboard a 22’ Center console with capacity for 3 passengers. It has and everything else you need for a productive day on the water.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don’t leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
