    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Itā€™s a long ride out but slow & steady saves gas, gotta find you lines. Wind, & current allow for some spots of trolling. We made repeated passes in a 150 yard clear spot adjacent to some heavy weed, drag the first one to the boat and the others follow and **hidden content** baits. We picked up (6) 7 - 14 lbs.

    Highly effective fishing technique that involves positioning and presentation. High speed vertical jigging mimics an escaping bait fish, and attracts almost every kind of predator. On this trip we hooked into a few large sharks, lost a few jigs to some toothy mackerel and scored a few reef fish for the dinner table.

    A fish is seen jumping out of the water, showcasing an exciting moment during a fishing trip, likely targeting species like Snapper or similar in a coastal environment.
    Early bird gets the worm, at high/incoming tide yhe tarpon are stacking up under the bridge lights all through yhe city of Miami. They have been feasting on live shrimp at the shadow lines and bridge pilings. This young juvenile was tricked with a ā€œLive Targetā€ artificial shrimp and fought like hell in disbelief! Having a remote controlled trolling motor allows our charter boat to navigate yhe current and obstructions, efficiently landing the fish in 15 minutes on light tackle. Out client was extremely pleased and begged for more.

    Mangrove Snapper
    October 1st, the mullet have finally arrived in Miami and can be found moving along the seawalls, beaches, and bridges. Snook, tarpon, jack crevalle, even big Mangrove snappers have awaken. No boat necessary, now is the time to go fish and bring home a decent meal for your family. Hit up your local tackle shop for a Cassnet or buy an artificial mullet lure. My favorite is the ā€œlive targetā€œ. Good luck and tight lines! Captain Chris, Domestic Six Pack Charters.

    This year opening day snook season was incredible! The mullet run finally hit Miami last week, and the fish were everywhere on the beaches in the creeks and canals on the flats. My daughter and I had so much fun watching this slot 32 inch hit the Rapala top water lure. Go out and fish. Domestic Six Pack.
