I always feel content when one of my sons expresses a desire to do this every day. Captain Bryan went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable time. Despite the excellent equipment that positioned us directly over schools of fish, unfortunately, they weren't biting. However, we did manage to catch a unique-looking tuna. While there's no guarantee of catching a ton of fish, it still resulted in a fantastic day.

Our initial fishing experience was guided by Captain Bryan, an incredibly enthusiastic person who patiently addressed all our questions. Although the first few hours were without a catch, once we secured our first fish, everything fell into place seamlessly. Thanks to the captain's patience and dedicated efforts, it turned out to be the most exhilarating and enjoyable day of my stay in Miami!

Wonderful and easy fishing for exotic peacock bass, tarpon, and some bonus species, with a captain who knows where they are and how to catch them! Captain Mike immediately put me on fish and kept me on fish the entire duration of the trip. He uses quality gear, has a nice clean boat, and could reliably predict the fish. I caught bunches of peacocks and several tarpon, was exhausted and happy, and will definitely book again with Captain Mike and Urban Legends. If you are still somehow in doubt about this, please JUST BOOK IT! I almost guarantee you will catch fish and be pleased as I am. Thank you Captain Mike for my first peacocks and tarpon!!!

Mike truly cares about fishing it shows within how he treats the fish. Our trip was amazing. He was upfront about cost and delivered. We got hooked on peacock bass, snook, and a tarpon. We have been out on a fee other chapters and by far he is the best.

Knowledgeable Captain and first mate. Very friendly. We had some issues that Captain Bryan made right for us and hung out while he made us ceviche out of the Hake fish we caught during the deep drop. Would recommend

Captain Bryan was phenomenal! I’ve been on quite of few fishing charters and his was by far my top trip. He really enjoys what he does and takes the time to explain everything and make sure everyone is having a good time no matter what their experience level is. We caught an EXTREMELY rare fish called the Cubera Snapper on our trip. He’s your guy for a Miami fishing trip!
