Known as the "Wreckreational Diving Capital," Miami features some of the finest underwater action on the East Coast. The waters surrounding the city are home to over 80 reefs and wrecks, providing hiding spots for all kinds of fish. To explore them and get face-to-gills with your prey, all you have to do is hop on one of the many Miami spearfishing charters on offer.

The great part about spearfishing in this part of Florida is that there's no shortage of spots to visit. Novices who wants to stick to shallow waters will find plenty of reefs 10 to 30 feet deep. Seasoned spearos, on the other hand, will discover numerous dive sites ranging from 40 to 70 feet in depth.

The fish species you'll encounter while spearfishing in Miami are also very diverse. Different types of Snapper, such as Mutton, Mangrove, Yellowtail, and Dog, as well as Grouper and the ever-popular Hogfish can all be found close to shore. You'll also often see Barracuda, Spanish Mackerel, and Jacks prowl around the underwater structure.

However, if you're eager for even more of a challenge, there's always the option of heading further offshore and hunting for some pelagics. During summer, you'll see the likes of Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna a few miles further offshore. These will present a challenge for even the most experienced spearos.

But no matter when you visit, there'll be something to catch. The waters are warm and the fishing goes on year-round. Hopping on a charter boat will give you the ability to move between spots easily and make use of your captain's knowledge of the area. Half day trips will usually give you enough time to get a taste of the inshore action. For offshore trips, you'll probably need a full day on the water.
