    Captain Chase was highly professional and very knowledgeable in his duties. Sarge, Tyler and Lindsay were very supportive of the guests and worked as an amazing team to make the fishing trip an awesome experience. Was able to catch a large yellow jack several yellowtail,porgy, and grunt and almost a shark that chased one of my yellowtail to the surface. Marlin Scott and the Fishmonster Family make fishing in paradise a joyful experience and memories to last a lifetime!!!

    Recently moved to Miami and my dad was visiting this week, so I wanted to book a special fishing trip with him and boy did Bearcut Bandit deliver! What a great captain! Great boat and had gear in the boat for anything you can think of. We started the day free lining on some Spanish Mackerel and King Fish. Landed a couple keepers and non-keepers. Switched to trolling which was the slowest part of our day, nothing wanted our trolling lures. Switched to drifting some bottom jigs in deep water and thats where it heated up! Nearly ever drop was landing a fish and if it didnt land a fish our bait was still getting hits! Our fishing ended there, but the great work from Captain Alek didn’t. He did a phenomenal job cleaning and filleting our fish! If you’re looking to book a trip I’d definitely recommend Bearcut Bandit and Captain Alek. I know I’ll be booking again.

    Awesome experience on Old Hat

    Chad and Nano were superb hosts. We were on fish in minutes. The boat was extra comfortable. They made sure we had everything we needed and taught us a lot about deep sea fishing and the species we were catching. They were laid back and attentive. I cant say enough about the excellent experience we had. Very professional outfit that made sure we had fun on the water. We caught lots of Mahi as well as other species.

    Perfect Fishing Expirence

    It was the best fishing trip I've ever been on. All three staff members went above and beyond. We caught a lot of fish—including some big ones. At the end, we had some of them cooked for us at the restaurant. Perfect choice! Thanks for the great day.

    Hands down a great experience! Captain Bob was an awesome guy who genuinely cared about making sure we had a good trip. He went above and beyond and never gave up on getting us on the fish. we caught our limit of mingo and a trigger fish. You can tell he takes pride in what he does and truly wants his customers to have a great time. Highly recommend booking with him! We’ll definitely remember this trip and will be back again.

Almaco Jack fishing is all about power, speed, and action near structure. This tough Jack is a favorite for anglers who want hard fights and steady hookups around reefs, wrecks, and offshore rigs. It hits fast, digs deep, and tests both skill and gear.

You can target Almaco Jack by reef fishing, wreck fishing, and offshore fishing. Vertical jigging works well; drop a metal jig to the bottom, then wind and lift fast to trigger strikes. Live baitfish or squid also draw bites, and trolling deep-diving plugs can cover water. Spinning and popping near bait schools or current lines often bring explosive surface hits.

Expect fast runs and stubborn, circle-the-boat battles. Beginners can succeed with simple rigs and clear coaching, while experienced anglers enjoy the workout of jigging and short-pumping heavy fish from structure. Bring sun protection, a hat, polarized sunglasses, and non-slip shoes. If heading offshore into deeper water, consider motion-sickness meds. Check with your captain about tackle, ice, and whether you can keep your catch.

Before you go, review local fishing rules. Check license and permit needs, open seasons, and any size or bag limits for reef fish. Confirm gear rules around wrecks and reefs, and follow local guidance on harvest and release. Regulations change often, so always verify them close to your trip.
