World-Class 2-Hour Fishing in Key Biscayne

Key Biscayne's 2-Hour Fishing Adventure

Ready for a quick fishing fix right in Key Biscayne's backyard? Our 2-hour private trip with Reel'n Tails Charters is perfect for anglers looking to squeeze in some quality time on the water without eating up your whole day. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, we'll put you on the fish and show you why Key Biscayne is a top-rated inshore fishing destination.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as we push off from the dock, you'll feel the excitement build. We'll cruise through Key Biscayne's diverse waters, targeting the honey holes where the fish are biting. Our seasoned captains know these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll waste no time getting to the action. You might find yourself casting near mangrove shorelines, drifting over grass flats, or working the edges of channels – wherever the bite is hot. With a 3-person max capacity, you'll get plenty of personalized attention and hands-on fishing time.

Rods, Reels, and Techniques

We've got all the gear you need, from light tackle setups for finesse fishing to heavier rods for when the big boys come to play. Depending on what's running, we might be tossing live bait, working soft plastics, or even fly fishing if that's your style. You'll learn the ins and outs of sight casting, which is a blast when you're targeting species like snook or tarpon lurking in the shallows. Or we might show you how to work a popping cork – a local favorite for enticing strikes from jacks and snapper. Don't worry if you're new to these techniques; our guides are patient teachers and love sharing their know-how.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Tarpon: Known as the "Silver King," tarpon are the rockstars of inshore fishing. These acrobatic fighters can reach over 100 pounds and are famous for their spectacular leaps. Spring and early summer are prime time for tarpon in Key Biscayne, but you can find some year-round. Even if you don't land one (they're notoriously tricky to bring to the boat), just hooking up with a tarpon will get your heart racing.

King Mackerel: Also called "kingfish," these speedsters are a blast to catch. They make blistering runs that'll have your drag screaming. We typically target kings in slightly deeper water, often around the edges of reefs. Fall and winter are peak seasons, but you can find them year-round. Trolling with live bait is a go-to method, and when they're on, the action can be non-stop.

Mahi Mahi: While we usually find these beautiful fish offshore, sometimes they venture closer to shore, especially around floating debris or weed lines. Mahi are known for their acrobatics and their striking blue-green and gold colors. They're also excellent table fare if you're looking to bring home dinner. Summer is the best time to target mahi, and their hard fights and delicious meat make them a customer favorite.

Crevalle Jack: If you want a workout, hook into a jack. These bulldogs of the flats fight way above their weight class. We find them year-round in Key Biscayne, often in schools that create exciting topwater action. Pound for pound, jacks are some of the hardest fighting fish you'll encounter inshore. They may not be prized for eating, but for pure fishing fun, it's hard to beat a jack attack.

Mutton Snapper: These tasty bottom-dwellers are prized for their flaky white meat. Muttons can be found year-round but tend to bite best in the warmer months. They're smart fish that require some finesse to catch, often preferring live bait or well-presented artificials. When you hook one, be ready for a stubborn fight – they love to dive for structure and test your tackle.
