Half Day Deep Sea Fishing Adventure Boarding at Miami Bayside Marketplace
by The Reward Fishing Fleet
Overview
Passengers board the vessel at Bayside Marketplace Marina in Miami for a half-day deep sea fishing trip lasting about four hours. The boat is US Coast Guard-inspected and equipped with an air-conditioned cabin, separate men's and women's restrooms, and a full walk-around deck to enhance comfort during the trip. The fishing grounds are just minutes offshore, where the crew targets local reefs, ledges, drop-offs, and wrecks. Anglers may catch species such as snappers, groupers, amberjack, and kingfish, while sailfish, tuna, and sharks are sometimes possible catches. Fishing techniques vary depending on conditions and include anchoring and chumming, drifting with live bait, jigging, and occasionally using a fishing kite. The crew provides guidance in both English and Spanish, showing participants how to handle fishing equipment, bait hooks, and untangle lines. The trip includes the use of all rods, reels, and tackle, as well as a fishing license. Fish cleaning after the trip is free, though tipping the crew is appreciated.
