World-Class 2-Hour Fishing in Key Biscayne

Quick Guided Fishing in Key Biscayne's Hot Spots

Ready for some fast-paced fishing action right in Key Biscayne's backyard? Our quick guided trip puts you on the hottest inshore bite without eating up your whole day. We'll zip out to where the jacks are busting bait, the tarpon are rolling, and the snappers are snapping. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, this trip is perfect for anyone looking to bend a rod and feel that Key Biscayne magic.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as we push off from the dock, you're in for a treat. We'll cruise through Key Biscayne's stunning coastal waters, keeping our eyes peeled for bird activity and bait balls. Our local knowledge means we know exactly where the fish are hanging out. You might find yourself casting into mangrove shorelines for snook one minute, then switching gears to chase a school of jacks the next. And if the tarpon are in town? Hold onto your hat – these silver kings put on a show like no other. We provide all the gear, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure and maybe a snack to keep your energy up.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

On this trip, we'll use a mix of live bait and artificial lures to target our inshore species. For the jacks and tarpon, we might throw some topwater plugs or swimbaits to mimic their favorite prey. When we're after snapper, we'll often use lighter tackle with live shrimp or small baitfish. I'll show you how to work a popping cork – it's like ringing the dinner bell for fish. And if we spot some rolling tarpon, we'll break out the fly rods for those of you looking for the ultimate challenge. Don't worry if you're new to these techniques; I'll walk you through every cast and retrieve until you're fishing like a pro.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Tarpon: These silver giants are the rock stars of inshore fishing. Weighing up to 200 pounds, tarpon are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. They typically show up in Key Biscayne waters from late spring through summer. Watching a tarpon clear the water by several feet is a sight you'll never forget – and the fight? It'll test everything you've got as an angler.

King Mackerel: Also known as "kingfish," these speedsters can burn your reel like nobody's business. We usually find them near the edges of reefs or around bait schools. Kings are here year-round but really fire up in the cooler months. They're not just fun to catch; they're delicious too, making for some epic fish tacos.

Mahi Mahi: While we're inshore, sometimes we'll run into schools of mahi (dolphinfish) if conditions are right. These colorful acrobats are a blast on light tackle. They're most abundant in summer months, and nothing beats the sight of a lit-up mahi racing alongside the boat. Plus, they're one of the tastiest fish in the sea – perfect for a fresh ceviche.

Crevalle Jack: These bulldogs of the flats are pure muscle. Jacks love to hunt in packs, creating exciting topwater blowups that'll get your heart racing. They're around all year but really go nuts in the warmer months. When a school of jacks moves through, it's non-stop action that'll leave your arms sore and your face grinning.

Mutton Snapper: If you're looking for a fish that'll test your finesse, muttons are your target. These wary creatures require a stealthy approach, but the reward is worth it. They're most active during summer spawning seasons. Muttons not only put up a great fight but are also top-notch table fare – some locals swear they're the best-tasting snapper out there.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Maybe it's the way the Miami skyline peeks over the mangroves, or how a school of jacks can turn the water into a frothing cauldron of activity in seconds. Whatever it is, it gets in your blood, and before you know it, you're planning your next trip before this one's even over.
