Captain
Danny Avila

Member since August 2019 Coral Gables, United States
Background
Captain Danny grew up on the water fishing and boating with family and friends. He's always had a passion for fishing and the water and decided to become a captain to try and show the general public the same experiences that he's had all these years. Fishing is like no other sport out there. Every day is a new adventure and a new challenge. This is what keeps the captain coming back for more.
Techniques
Hammertime Fishing Charters specializes in fishing for Snapper and Grouper out of Miami and the Upper Keys. The captain usually anchors and chums and draws the fish to you. Most of the fish is caught free-lining baits behind the boat but the captain also deploys big baits on the bottom for larger fish. He also drift fishes and runs offshore during certain times of the year for other species as well.

Fall Fishing is Finally Here!!!
Fall Fishing is Finally Here!!!
Sep 17, 2022 Coral Gables
Greetings! Its mid September and as we say good-bye to the dog days of Summer, we welcome the transition into our Fall season here in South Florida. With the change in season, it brings a bunch of new opportunity and probably some of the best fishing you could ask for! We have the arrival of our fall baitfish schools, which really opens up our options on what we can target. We have great fishing offshore with Mahi, Tuna, Kingfish, and more. The reef bite continues to stay strong with tasty catches of Yellowtail Snapper and Mutton Snapper. And the nearshore fishing becomes an option when the fronts start pushing through with tons of action on mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, porgies, and yellow jacks. We have all of our trips availabe so be sure to secure your adventure today and lets go have some fun!!
