Nothing beats getting out on Miami's waters for some serious fishing action. This 4-hour charter with Domestic Six Pack Charters gives you everything you need for a solid day on the flats and near-shore waters around Miami. We're talking about prime fishing territory where the Gulf Stream meets shallow water structure, creating the perfect storm for some of Florida's most sought-after species. You'll have all the tackle, bait, and cold drinks covered, so just bring yourself and get ready to put some fish in the boat.
Your captain knows these Miami waters like the back of their hand, and they'll put you on fish whether you're a seasoned angler or picking up a rod for the first time. We're running a true six-pack operation, meaning no crowds and plenty of personal attention. The boat heads out from Miami's access points to target everything from blazing-fast pelagics to structure-loving snappers. You'll spend time working different techniques depending on what's biting – maybe starting shallow for some sight fishing, then moving to deeper water when the bite picks up. The beauty of a 4-hour trip is having enough time to really dial in the bite without wearing yourself out. Miami's year-round fishing means there's always something pulling drag, and your captain will adjust the game plan based on current conditions, tides, and what's been producing lately.
We run a mix of techniques depending on target species and conditions. For the speed demons like wahoo and yellowfin tuna, you'll be trolling high-speed lures and rigged baits along current edges and temperature breaks. When we're after bonefish, it's all about sight fishing with live bait or artificials in shallow, clear water – these fish require stealth and precision. Mutton snapper fishing means working structure with bottom rigs, chunks of ballyhoo, and plenty of patience. Spanish mackerel are typically caught while trolling small spoons or casting jigs around bait schools. All rods, reels, terminal tackle, and bait are provided, from spinning gear for the bones to heavier trolling setups for the big pelagics. Your captain carries everything from circle hooks to wire leaders, ensuring you're properly rigged for whatever species you encounter. Live bait wells keep pilchards and other baits frisky, while the cooler stays stocked with ice-cold drinks to keep you hydrated under the Miami sun.
Wahoo are absolute rockets that'll test your drag system and your reflexes. These fish cruise Miami's offshore waters year-round, but fall and winter months bring the best action. They're built for speed with razor-sharp teeth and can hit 40+ mph when they're running. Most wahoo here run 20-50 pounds, and when one hits a trolled bait at 8 knots, you'll know it instantly. What makes them special is their unpredictability – they might hit right behind the boat or make a screaming 200-yard run before you even realize what happened.
Yellowfin tuna are the ultimate endurance test, combining size, speed, and pure pulling power. Miami's yellowfins range from schoolie-sized fish to 100+ pound bruisers that'll make your arms burn. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall, when they're feeding on the abundant baitfish Miami's waters attract. These fish fight deep and hard, often making multiple runs that'll have you questioning your drag settings. They're also fantastic table fare, making them a customer favorite for both the fight and the feast.
Bonefish represent the holy grail of flats fishing around Miami. These silvery ghosts cruise turtle grass flats and sandy bottoms, spooking at the slightest disturbance. Most bones in these waters run 4-8 pounds, but their initial run is legendary – pure speed across shallow water that'll empty your reel in seconds. Spring through fall offers the most consistent action, particularly on incoming tides. What makes bonefish special isn't their size, but their wariness and the technical skill required to hook them consistently.
Mutton snapper are Miami's bread-and-butter bottom fish, hanging around wrecks, ledges, and hard bottom structure. These copper-colored fighters typically range 5-15 pounds, with the occasional heavyweight pushing 20+. They're year-round residents but bite best during warmer months when they're more active. Muttons are notorious bait thieves with impressive jaw strength, requiring sharp hooks and quick reflexes. They're also outstanding eating, making them perfect for anglers who want to take dinner home.
Spanish mackerel bring non-stop action when schools move through Miami's waters. These smaller speedsters rarely exceed 5 pounds but make up for size with sheer numbers and aggressive strikes. They're particularly active during cooler months when bait schools are thick near shore. Spanish mackerel will hit just about anything that moves – spoons, jigs, live bait, or strip baits. They're perfect for keeping kids and novice anglers engaged, often providing fish after fish once you locate a feeding school.

Albula VulpesBonefish are the "grey ghosts" of the flats - silver, spooky fish that'll test your casting skills in skinny water. Most run 6-8 pounds and 16-20 inches, but bigger ones push into double digits. You'll find them on shallow grass flats, sometimes in just inches of water, especially around low tide when they're "tailing" - digging for crabs and shrimp with their tails sticking up. Best fishing is when the water's calm and you can spot them cruising or feeding. What makes them special is the challenge - they're incredibly wary and will bolt at 30 mph if spooked. Plus, that first run when hooked is pure adrenaline. They're too bony to eat, so we release them all. Key tip: cast well ahead of moving fish and let your bait settle before they get there. Noise or sudden movement will send them flying.
Lutjanus AnalisMutton snapper are some of the best-eating fish we catch, with that distinctive pinkish color and solid fight. They average 15-20 inches but can reach 30+ inches and over 20 pounds. You'll find them around reefs, wrecks, and structure in 80-250 feet of water, though we catch plenty in shallower water near mangroves and inlets. Spring and summer are prime, especially when they're spawning around the full moon. What guests love is they're excellent table fare with sweet, flaky white meat, plus they put up a good scrap trying to get back to structure. They're smart fish that can be picky about bait presentation. My tip: use the freshest bait you can get and fish it on a light knocker rig, letting it drift naturally in the current. When you see that pink color coming up through clear water, you know you've got a keeper.
Scomberomorus MaculatusSpanish mackerel are fast, fun fighters that show up in good numbers when conditions are right. They typically run 1-2 feet long and 2-4 pounds, with silver sides covered in yellow spots. You'll find schools of them near the surface around structure, reefs, and even close to shore when water temps warm up. Fall and spring are best here in Miami when they're actively feeding. What makes them popular is they hit hard, fight well for their size, and are excellent eating - mild, flaky meat that's perfect grilled or smoked. They're also great for kids and beginners since they're aggressive and not too difficult to land. Here's the key: when you find a school, work fast. Use small spoons or jigs and keep them moving - these fish love speed and flash. Once you hook up, get your bait back in quickly since the school might move on.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are among the fastest fish you'll encounter out here, hitting speeds up to 60 mph with their torpedo-shaped bodies. Most run 3-5 feet long, but we've seen some monsters push 6+ feet. They cruise open water from the surface down to about 60 feet, often around floating debris or structure. July through November is prime time in Miami waters when they're most active. What makes wahoo special is that lightning-fast run when hooked - they'll strip line like nothing else. Plus, the meat is absolutely top-notch, white and flaky with a mild taste that's perfect for the grill. My go-to tip: use a wire leader since their razor-sharp teeth will slice through mono in a heartbeat. When trolling at high speed around 12-15 knots, keep your lures moving fast - these fish love to chase.
Thunnus AlbacaresYellowfin tuna are the real deal offshore - powerful, fast fish that'll test your gear and stamina. Most we catch run 60+ pounds, but they can push well over 200. They cruise the upper water column, usually in the top 100 feet over deep blue water. You'll find them year-round here, but summer months are consistently hot. What guests love about yellowfin is the sheer power - once hooked, they'll make long, screaming runs at 50 mph. The meat is premium grade, perfect for sushi or searing on the grill with that rich, meaty flavor. These fish are smart and can be picky, so when you mark them deep but nothing's biting up top, don't be afraid to drop a jig down to their level. Sometimes you need to bring the bait right to them instead of waiting for them to come up.
