World-Class Wahoo & Mahi Fishing in Key Biscayne

Miami's Ultimate Wahoo & Mahi Mahi Adventure

Ready for a full day of offshore action in the crystal-clear waters of Key Biscayne? Captain Jesus Castell's got you covered with an 8-hour guided fishing trip that'll have you chasing some of Florida's most prized gamefish. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, this private charter for up to 6 guests is the perfect way to experience the thrill of big game fishing just minutes from Miami's bustling shores.

What's the Deal?

Hop aboard the 31' Island Time Charters boat and get ready for a day you won't forget. We're talking about targeting hard-fighting Wahoo and acrobatic Mahi Mahi (Dorado) using a variety of techniques like trolling, drifting, and jigging. Don't sweat the gear - Captain Jesus provides all the top-notch fishing equipment, tackle, and live bait you'll need to put fish in the boat. And the best part? Any legal catch is yours to keep, and the crew will even clean it for you. It's the perfect recipe for an epic day on the water with family or friends, combining sun, fun, and the chance to battle some serious sportfish.

Reelin' Em In

When it comes to hooking into Wahoo and Mahi, we've got a few tricks up our sleeve. Trolling is our bread and butter - we'll set out a spread of lures or rigged baits and cruise the offshore waters where these speedsters hang out. Keep your eyes peeled for floating debris or weedlines - that's prime Mahi territory. For Wahoo, we might switch it up and do some high-speed trolling with specialized lures. If the bite's on fire, we might even try some vertical jigging to really get your arms burning. Captain Jesus knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you can bet we'll be putting you on the fish all day long.

Fish Tales

While we don't have specific customer reviews to share, let me tell you - the smiles and high-fives at the dock say it all. Folks come back year after year for a shot at these offshore giants, and the stories they take home are priceless. From first-timers shocked by the raw power of a Wahoo's initial run to seasoned anglers finally landing that bull Mahi they've been chasing for years - every trip writes its own legendary fish tale.

The Main Attraction

Mahi Mahi, also known as Dorado or Dolphin (the fish, not Flipper), are the rockstars of the offshore world. These neon-green and gold acrobats are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. They grow fast and can reach sizes over 50 pounds, though most we catch are in the 10-30 pound range. Mahi are opportunistic feeders and love to hang around floating debris and weedlines. The best part? They often travel in schools, so when you find one, get ready for non-stop action!

Wahoo, on the other hand, are the speed demons of the sea. These streamlined predators can hit speeds over 60 mph and are known for blistering runs that'll have your reel screaming. They're a bit more solitary than Mahi, but what they lack in numbers they make up for in fight. Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth and can grow to over 100 pounds, though 30-50 pounders are more common. These fish are prized for their tasty white meat and the challenge they present to anglers.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing the waters off Key Biscayne. Maybe it's the way the Miami skyline fades into the distance as we head offshore, or the moment when that first Mahi leaps out of the water, shimmering like liquid gold in the Florida sun. Perhaps it's the heart-pounding excitement of a Wahoo peeling line off your reel faster than you thought possible. Whatever it is, this trip has a way of hooking people - pun intended.

Captain Jesus doesn't just put you on fish; he shares his passion for the ocean and his wealth of local knowledge. You'll learn about the Gulf Stream currents that bring these pelagic predators close to shore, the migration patterns that make certain times of year red hot for fishing, and the conservation efforts that keep these fisheries healthy for generations to come.

More Than Just Fishing

While the focus is definitely on putting fish in the boat, this trip is about so much more. It's a chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature (and maybe your competitive side when it comes to who lands the biggest fish). The crystal-clear waters of Key Biscayne are teeming with marine life - don't be surprised if we spot sea turtles, flying fish, or even the occasional pod of dolphins along the way.

For families, it's an opportunity to create lasting memories and maybe even spark a lifelong passion for fishing in the younger generation. For groups of friends, it's the perfect mix of relaxation and excitement, with plenty of time for jokes, stories, and maybe a little friendly wager on the biggest catch of the day.

What to Bring

Captain Jesus has got you covered on the fishing front, but there are a few things you'll want to pack to make the most of your day: - Sunscreen (and lots of it) - Hat and sunglasses - Light, long-sleeved shirt for sun protection - Non-slip shoes - Camera or smartphone for those trophy fish pics - Snacks and drinks (though you might want to go easy on the drinks until you've got your sea legs) - A small cooler for your catch (if you plan on taking some home) - And most importantly, a positive attitude and readiness for adventure!

Best Time to Book

While we can catch fish year-round in these waters, certain times of year can be particularly productive. Spring and early summer (April through June) is prime time for Mahi Mahi, as large schools move through the area. Wahoo tend to be more of a year-round target, with peaks in late winter and early spring. That said, any day on the water is a good day, and Captain Jesus knows how to put you on the fish no matter the season.
