Deep sea fishing off Miami Beach offers an exciting mix of action, variety, and year-round opportunity. Warm Gulf Stream waters flow close to shore, creating ideal conditions for prized game fish that draw anglers from around the world. Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman or stepping aboard for the first time, knowing what’s biting and when helps make every trip more rewarding.
One of the most sought-after catches is sailfish, often called the signature species of South Florida. Sailfish season typically peaks from late fall through early spring, when cooler waters bring them closer to shore. Known for their speed and dramatic jumps, sailfish deliver an unforgettable fight that makes them a favorite among anglers.
As waters warm in late spring and summer, mahi-mahi (dolphin fish) become more active. These vibrant, hard-fighting fish are plentiful from May through September and are especially popular for their fast action and excellent table fare. Summer is also prime time for blackfin tuna, which travel in schools and offer powerful runs once hooked.
For anglers looking for something a little more intense, wahoo are most commonly caught during the cooler months, from late fall through winter. Wahoo are known for their blistering speed and sharp instincts, making them a thrilling challenge. Offshore trips during this time may also produce blue and white marlin, particularly in late spring and summer, when conditions are right for big-game fishing.
