What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Miami Beach, Florida for the first time?

January isn't a great time to fish, but that's when we were here so we made it work and caught fish! Captain Bryan worked his butt off and took good care of us. Would highly recommend him for any size family you have

Have realistic expectations about what you can get this time of year. Just be happy if you catch something. Sadly, that’s my takeaway from a different outing than the one I just reviewed. Aaron and Michelle listened to what we wanted but also knew we just wanted to something. And they came though.

We highly recommend having an open mind. We come from Northern Ontario Canada and have fished collectively for 3 decades. Fishing is an art - it depends on the weather, barometric pressure, water temperature, if the fish are hungry etc. There are days when you will get skunked - if you ever meet a fisherman who has said they have never gotten skunked - it means one of two things: 1) they are full of beans or 2) they really havent fished that much. Keep an open mind, enjoy the scenery, have no expectations other than having a great day, the advebture and being surrounded by knowledgeable people. Be grateful for the experience and with positive vibes you will be successful no matter what!

Total adventure with the best team!!! Thank you for making us spend a wonderful day with the family. I highly recommend them, wholeheartedly. We arrived and immediately fried fish... the best news??? My youngest son already likes to eat fish!!! I'm super happy !!! ???

Do more than a 4 hour trip if your party is up for it and you really want to catch more fish. For us, it was my teenagers first time, and we were on a short spring break. I'm more of a Fisherman, so could've spent all day in the water with this crew!

Book early so you can do it. Last year, we tried booking the week we were visiting, and the good anglers, like Stan, were booked up.

Hold that pole, bites come fast and hard and if you’re not ready, you’ll miss fish.

Talk to your captain, trust his knowledge and always enjoy it!! A bad day fishing is better than a good day on land!!

When the Captain warns you of choppy waters… wear the patch behind your ear!!! Game changer! Have fun and LISTEN to the Captain and first mate!!

Miami Beach is a big city with a lot of fishing charters. You might come home empty handed. You will always have a good time.

Pick the right boat and more importantly a first class crew. OLDHAT hit a the marks for a perfect day.

I would reccommened talking to the guys at old hat. They are very accommodating and will cater a trio to what you want

Do your research so you know where to go and what species a active in the season you goin to be there

There are plenty of fishes to be caught but you may have to work a little harder to catch them.

take a lot of Dramamine! if you do get sick push through it if you can. it's worth it!!!
