Fun outing with a kind and attentive captain.ย I definitely recommend Miguel as a guide.
Thank you for the positive feedback! happy to hear you had a fun outing. Weโll be sure to pass along your recommendation. Hope to see you guys again soon!
Captain was really great to work with. He had really nice equipment. Was easy to talk to and made the trip fun.
Thatโs wonderful to hear! Itโs always a pleasure. You guys were great thank you for the opportunity. I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your stay. Hope to see you soon.
We only had a one day window to go out and catch some fish. Captain Chinea was wonderful keeping us update, also letting us know how to properly dress for the trip so we wouldnโt be uncomfortable. He was so prepared and knowledgeable, you can definitely tell he has a passion for what he does. We did kite fishing, bottom and surface fishing. I landed 2 snooks and probably my biggest snook ever. We also caught multiple jacks and black fin tuna. Overall, wonderful trip and experience!! Already booked my next trip!!!

We went to Miami for the first time as a gift to my daughter for her graduation, I booked a trip with Miguel for the reef fishing but due to the weather we had to do the inshore fishing. He was extremely Informative on everything during the trip. Very friendly probably the nicest we met while vacationing, he showed us some of the city skyline and gave us information about the city which was a bonus!! We had a few bites and seen 2 tarpon they were massive! He ended up keeping us out there about 30 minutes longer I think because he could see how eager the kids were to catch something. We didnโt end up catching that monster fish out there but thanks to Miguel we will have memories to carry with us forever. I would highly recommend him, if we ever make it out that way again we will for sure be fishing again with him. Thanks so much and we appreciated everything!

Thank you Danielle so much. I appreciate you guys. Really nice fun and relaxing trip. With great company. Well get those fish next time forsure!
Captain Miguel is an affable and hardworking young man. His boat is shipshape and he has quality tech screens.To his credit he tried several diverse spots. I requested live bait and he provided three options, baitfish which we used 98% of the time, shrimp which got walloped but unhooked twice and crab once which went untouched. Timelineโฆ1 hour 15 minutes until 4 decent Jack Crevale near Mystic Point. An hour later 4 larger same species under the Haulover Bridge. Then nothing for the last 2.5 hours. Ran all the way down to Port Of Miami. Not pleasant ride back though to his credit he added on 45 minutes. Specifically I had asked to target tarpon and/or snook. Final tally 8 Crevale 0 Tarpon (no hits) 0 snook (no hits). This was my first night fishing outing. Nothing else, even sheepshead, grunt or snapper for entertainmentโฆ I truly wish for the Captains sake as well as mine that the outing had been more productive as he did try hard.

Dear Bruce,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in detail. Iโm glad to hear that I was affable and hardworking. I understand your disappointment that the targeted species were not caught during the outing. I explored several diverse spots and put in great effort in trying to make the trip productive. I apologize for the lack of entertainment during the outing. However, Fishing can be unpredictable.
Keep in mind, I made an extra effort to pick you up from the incorrect location. I adjusted the fishing reels to enable a left-handed retrieve for your convenience. You booked a TARPON trip with me. Meaning focusing just on TARPON.
We could of switched the trip to an (inshore fishing trip) focusing on those inshore species you mentioned.
Tarpon are considered difficult to catch for several reasons. They are highly prized game fish, and their popularity has made them more wary and selective in their feeding habits. Consequently, anglers often spend many hours patiently waiting for a strike, making tarpon fishing a challenging and rewarding experience.
I would like to express my sincere apologies for the unpleasant boat ride you experienced due to the weather conditions. I understand that weather can impact the overall experience and I sincerely regret any discomfort or disappointment caused.
While i make every effort to ensure our guests have an enjoyable and safe trip, sometimes unforeseen circumstances beyond our control can occur.
Best regards, Capt Miguel
