If you’d like to experience the fantastic fishing the Bahamas has to offer, but want to stay within a 50-mile radius from Miami, Bimini is the place to go. The islands might be small, but the fish swimming around them are trophy-sized. That’s why there are plenty of Bimini fishing charters ready to take you to your next greatest catch.
This destination is known for its outstanding deep sea fishing and, as such, sports the title of the “Sportfishing Capital of the World.” With the Gulf Stream a stone’s throw away, these gorgeous waters are the playground of Blue and White Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo. The islands are actually coral atolls, which translates to premier action for Yellowtail and Mutton Snapper, Black Grouper, Sharks, Amberjack, and other beautiful fish.
Anglers who prefer to stay in shallow waters can enjoy superb fly fishing opportunities. These crystal clear waters are brimming with Bonefish and Permit. There’s also excellent Tarpon action for you to look forward to in the summer months. Whenever you come to these sandy flats, you’ll find something to your liking.
When it comes to the types of trips on offer, the sky’s the limit. Most expeditions depart from US soil, and it’s a good idea to book a full day or an extended day trip to Bahaman waters. If you’re a passionate game fish chaser, there are multiday adventures that set out directly from the Bimini Islands. Otherwise, you can find a wide variety of Bimini fishing charters moving out from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, and Key Biscayne.
