    we had a great time with Captain Usley. he was very accomodating. he knows his stuff. i would only recommend people book their fishing trip once they are on the island to make sure the weather is fine. our full day turned into a half day because of the weather. captain Usley only charged us for a half day. just a bit disappointed we didn’t get to do the full day and look for lobster.

    best charter we’ve been on! captain torre was so kind, welcoming and made sure we caught a fish. very different vibes from the past charters we’ve been on as he was so friendly and helpful. he customized our 6 hour trip so we can fish and snorkel. also the biggest reason we booked him was because he was dog friendly which is hard to come by! he was so kind to our baby. I would recommend him for your next charter! we cant wait to come back to the keys and get my mahi! haha

    Captain and first mate worked their butts off to put us on the fish. We kept them busy snagging rocks and getting bit off. They quickly had a fresh pole and bait and often hooked us up and handed the pole for us to reel in. Great Crew!!

    The trip is Captain Bryan's favorite, fishing is great the sunsets are amazing. Same, awesome trip as our half day offshore. Big game trip just longer. Extra time allows us to move further away from Miami into better fishing grounds that we can't do on a half day trip. La Princesa is very spacious and has a huge bow for sunbathing. Fishing and covered deck in the stern. Downstairs is a full kitchen, bathroom, dining room, and bedroom making those long days fishing very comfortable. Special price for limit

    amazing day

    We took our four kids (10, 12, 14 & 16) out fishing today and had such an amazing day. Alek was knowledgeable, patient and helpful. We all caught a bunch of different fish and, most importantly, had an incredible time out on the water. Very cool for all of us to learn a bit about fishing in Miami from such an experienced local fisherman with deep roots in those waters.

    Great Day

    all in all, I had a great day. Beautiful company and Kai was the best. My back was bothering me, so he took my poll and caught me a nice mangrove snapper. Wasn’t too good of a fishing day for me personally, but everybody else on the boat was catching. For instance, my brother and his fiancé caught nine between them. and my daughter caught two keepers. The other two people caught quite a bit as well Thank you, Kai, for your expertise

About Mutton Snapper fishing

Size

Food Value
Good
Game Quality
Average

Mutton Snapper fishing draws anglers who want a smart, hard-fighting reef predator. These colorful Snapper prowl coral reefs, rocky structure, and wrecks, where they ambush bait fish and crustaceans. They are prized for their strong runs, wary nature, and excellent table quality, making them a favorite target for many crews.

Most trips use bottom fishing, which means dropping baits near the seafloor around structure. Live baits like pilchards, ballyhoo, or shrimp work very well, as do cut bait and squid. Drifting or slow-trolling keeps the bait moving naturally. Chumming can bring fish closer. Use light leaders and small, sharp hooks for a subtle presentation, since Mutton Snapper can be line-shy. Jigging with flutter or bucktail jigs also produces strikes.

Expect steady action around reefs and wreck edges, with short bursts when a school moves in. The fight is strong and dogged, so keep steady pressure and be ready for runs toward structure. This is a great option for beginners, families, and seasoned anglers alike. Captains usually provide rods, reels, and tackle. Bring sun protection, a hat, polarized sunglasses, snacks, and plenty of water. If you get seasick, consider medication before leaving the dock.

Rules for Mutton Snapper fishing vary by location. Always check local fishing license and permit needs, plus any season, size, bag, and gear rules before your trip. Learn how to identify the species, follow crew instructions on release or harvest, and respect closed areas and protected zones to keep fisheries healthy.
