Picture yourself waking up in the Bahamas after a full day of pulling trophy fish from some of the bluest water you've ever seen. That's exactly what you get with Twysted Lyfe Charters' overnight fishing trip to Bimini - a solid 2-day, 1-night getaway that's perfect for a crew of four anglers ready to get serious about fishing. We're talking world-class pelagic action just a short run from Miami, where the Gulf Stream delivers big fish right to your doorstep. This isn't your typical day trip hustle - you've got time to really work the water and dial in on what's biting.
Your captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's going to put you on fish from the moment you clear Miami until you're headed back home. The trip includes everything you need to be successful - all your rods, tackle, bait, and ice are covered, plus fuel, permits, and dockage fees. You're fishing from sunrise to sunset with plenty of opportunities to target different species as conditions change throughout the day. The crystal-clear Bahamian waters around Bimini offer some of the most consistent offshore action in the Atlantic, with the added bonus of being able to dive and cool off between fishing sessions. Keep in mind you'll need to handle your own meals, accommodation on the island, and any transport around Bimini, but that gives you the flexibility to explore the local scene at your own pace.
Most of your fishing is going to happen while trolling the drop-offs and current lines where the deep blue water meets the shallower banks. Your captain will have the boat rigged with a spread of lures designed to trigger strikes from fast-moving pelagics like wahoo, mahi, and barracuda. Expect to see ballyhoo rigged behind skirts, high-speed wahoo lures on wire, and maybe some live bait when the bite calls for it. The gear is all top-shelf stuff - heavy action rods paired with reels that can handle long screaming runs without breaking a sweat. When you hook into something substantial, you'll have the backing and drag system to turn the fish and get it to the boat. The beauty of fishing Bimini is the variety - you might be pulling baits at 8 knots for wahoo in the morning, then switching to slower trolling or even some bottom fishing for snapper and grouper as the day progresses.
Mahi mahi are the bread and butter of Bimini fishing, and for good reason. These fish are absolutely gorgeous when they come up hot behind the boat, flashing gold and green as they attack your baits. They're typically in the 10-30 pound range, though bigger bulls show up regularly. Mahi are most active during the warmer months from spring through fall, and they love to hang around floating debris, weed lines, and current breaks. What makes them so special is their willingness to eat just about anything you throw at them, plus they put on an amazing aerial show when hooked.
Greater amberjack are the bruisers that will test your endurance and your tackle. These fish can push 50-80 pounds around Bimini's deeper structure, and they fight like they're twice that size. They're year-round residents but peak during the cooler months when they move up from the depths to feed more aggressively. When you hook an AJ, get ready for a long, grinding battle that'll have your arms burning. They're notorious for making powerful runs straight down, trying to cut you off on whatever structure they can find.
Wahoo are pure speed and aggression, capable of hitting your lures at 40+ mph and making blistering runs that'll have your reel screaming. These fish typically range from 20-50 pounds in Bimini waters, with occasional monsters pushing 60-70. They're most active during the winter and spring months when water temperatures drop slightly. Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth and explosive power, making them one of the most exciting fish to target on light tackle.
Great barracuda are everywhere in Bahamian waters, and the ones around Bimini can reach impressive sizes of 4-5 feet. They're visual predators that love shiny lures and live bait, often following hooked fish right to the boat before deciding to strike. Barracuda are active year-round but seem to be most aggressive during the warmer months. They're fantastic on light tackle and provide steady action when the bigger pelagics aren't cooperating.
Cobia are the wild cards that show up when you least expect them, often cruising solo or in small groups around floating debris or following rays in the shallows. These fish can range from 20-60 pounds around Bimini and are known for their curious nature - they'll often approach the boat to investigate before deciding whether to eat your bait. Spring and early summer are prime time for cobia, and they're considered some of the best eating fish in these waters.
This overnight fishing adventure gives you something most day trips can't - the luxury of time. You're not rushing back to port when the fish start biting at sunset, and you're not wasting precious fishing hours running back and forth from Miami. With a maximum of four anglers, everyone gets plenty of rod time and personal attention from your captain. The 7% Florida sales tax is already factored into the service fee, and remember that deposits are non-refundable, so make sure your crew is committed before booking. Bimini's reputation as a top-rated fishing destination speaks for itself, but having a full day and night to explore these waters takes the experience to another level. Whether you're after a new personal best or just want to experience some of the most consistent fishing in the Caribbean, this
Your gateway to Bimini's legendary fishing grounds awaits with this purpose-built deep sea machine. Engineered for speed and comfort, this motorboat cuts through Miami waters straight to the Bahamas' hottest fishing spots. The spacious cockpit accommodates four anglers with room to fight those trophy Tuna and Wahoo that cruise these crystal-clear waters. Modern fish finder technology scouts beneath the surface while GPS keeps you locked onto productive reefs where Snapper and Grouper hold tight. When visibility drops or conditions change, onboard radar keeps you safe and the VHF radio maintains contact with other boats and marinas. The large icebox handles your catch plus keeps drinks cold during those long battles with pelagic species. Built tough for overnight adventures, this vessel delivers you to Bimini's world-class fishing grounds where sunrise to sunset action is the norm, not the exception.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are the brown sharks that aren't sharks - these chocolate-colored bruisers average 30-50 pounds and are some of the best eating fish in the ocean. We typically find them around structure like wrecks, buoys, and reefs in 30-100 feet of water, often cruising just under the surface. Spring migration from March to May is prime time when they're moving through Bimini waters to spawn. What guests love about cobia is the sight fishing aspect - you can actually see these fish swimming around before you cast to them, plus they fight hard and that firm white meat is restaurant quality. The key is being ready with a bucktail jig or live bait when you spot one, because they're curious but spook easily if you make too much commotion.
Sphyraena BarracudaGreat barracuda are the apex predators of the shallows, growing 4-6 feet long with a mouth full of razor teeth and speeds up to 35 mph. These silver torpedoes patrol coral reefs, grass flats, and nearshore waters from 10-50 feet deep. They're around year-round in these warm Bahama waters, but spring and fall offer the best action when they're most active. What makes cuda fishing fun is their aggressive strike and that explosive fight - they'll jump, run, and thrash like crazy, though they tire quickly. Just remember to use a wire leader and landing net since those teeth aren't for show. My advice: they're sight hunters attracted to shiny objects, so silver spoons and flashy lures work best, but keep that rod tip up when they jump or they'll throw the hook.
Seriola dumeriliGreater amberjack are the bruisers of the reef, averaging 30-40 pounds with some pushing past 100. These bluish-grey fighters with that distinctive amber stripe live around structure - wrecks, reefs, and ledges in 60-200 feet of water. Spring through early summer is prime time when they're spawning and feeding heavily. What guests love about jacks is the pure power - they'll take you straight to the bottom and test your drag system like no other fish. The meat quality is excellent too, though larger fish can carry ciguatera. Here's the key: when you hook one, pump and wind, don't just lean back and pull. Use that heavy tackle to your advantage and work them up in sections, because if you let them get their head down in the rocks, you're done.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi mahi are some of the most beautiful fish you'll see out here, with their brilliant golden sides and electric blue-green backs that put on a real color show when you bring them to the boat. These fast-growing fish average around 15-30 pounds and love hanging around floating debris, weedlines, and current breaks in open water. Spring through fall gives us the best action around Bimini, especially when we find birds working over floating sargassum. What makes mahi special is their aggressive strike, strong fight, and that sweet, firm white meat that's perfect for the dinner table. My tip: when you hook one, keep your eyes peeled for others nearby since they often travel in small schools and will stick around if you keep one hooked as a teaser.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the speed demons of the deep blue, hitting 60 mph with their torpedo-shaped bodies and razor-sharp teeth. These sleek predators average 20-40 pounds and cruise the open ocean around Bimini, especially March through November when they're migrating through. We find them in 100-400 feet of water, often along temperature breaks and current edges. What makes wahoo special is that blistering initial run that'll scream line off your reel, plus they're absolutely delicious - firm, white meat with a mild flavor that's perfect grilled. The trick is high-speed trolling at 12-15 knots with wire leaders since their teeth will slice through anything else. When one hits, hold on tight because that first run is something you'll never forget.
