03 Apr Enjoy A Once-In-A-Lifetime Miami Fishing Trip
As we get closer to the possibility of free travel (without restrictions, that is – you’ll more than likely still need to pay for it), it makes sense to start thinking about where you want to travel to on your next vacation, and what sort of activities you wish to enjoy. Chanel and Stevo have been pondering on this as well (as Stevo recovers from his back injury) and one option that keeps coming up on Stevo’s list – and everyone should consider – is going on a fishing trip. You do not have to be an experienced angler to enjoy the fun that comes with a fishing trip, so it’s a great option for everyone. The only question is where should you go? While Chanel and Stevo plan some fishing adventures in Southern Africa (and reminisce on the fishing trips they took in Vermont and Australia), we thought we’d highlight an option for our American readers: Miami, a place that certainly comes highly recommended. We will explain more below.
Miami fishing is popular for a number of different reasons. Of course, the fishing waters are varied, and the location itself is a stunning one. But, for keen anglers, they love the fact that Miami provides exceptional fishing opportunities all year round, so whether you’re visiting in the Summer to laze around on the beach, or hoping to take advantage of Miami’s gastronomy in the Winter, Miami just might be the best destination if you’re hoping to spend some time on the waters fishing.
Booking A Miami Fishing Trip
If you’re looking to do something unusual at your next holiday destination, or you’ve revisited your bucket list (and browsed through our Wanderlist for inspiration) during lockdown, then maybe you should consider Miami. You are guaranteed a holiday of a lifetime, especially if you are someone who has a keen interest in fishing. Below are some of the reasons to visit Miami:
Beaches
Miami is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. From golden white sands to crystal clear waters, this is paradise on Earth. You then have the stunning backdrop of Miami itself. It is like something straight out of a movie.
Weather
The weather is great! You will get to bask in the sunshine and you will return from your holiday looking tanned and feeling refreshed.
Watersports
There are so many incredible watersports to enjoy, from white-water rafting to surfing.
Fishing
Of course, one of the main reasons to consider Miami is because of the exceptional fishing possibilities (and it’s why you’re reading this post in the first place). From Marlin and Dorado to Red Snapper and Yellowfin Tuna, there are many challenges to enjoy.
What To Consider When Booking A Miami Fishing Vacation
As mentioned, one of the main reasons to consider visiting Miami is because of the incredible fishing opportunities that are available. There are lots of Miami fishing packages available on the web, and it is up to you to narrow down your search effectively. You also may want to rent a car in Miami so that you’re able to explore more than just the waters (so keep that in mind) but back to the fishing – here are some of our top tips to consider when choosing a Miami fishing charter:
Experience
Always choose a crew that has plenty of experience. You may be an experienced angler yourself, but you need a crew that knows the Miami fishing waters like the back of their hand.
Offshore or onshore?
Most fishing companies will give you the ability to enjoy both offshore and onshore fishing. This is the only way to get the true fishing experience. Don’t simply assume that this is the case, however. Make sure you enquire about it.
Reviews
Before booking any sort of trip or service these days, you are always advised to read the feedback that has been left by people who have already gone on the fishing trip in question before. You will be able to learn all about it from the people who have already experienced it.
Price
Never look for the cheapest Miami fishing vacation. Instead, look for value for money. Read reviews to make sure the company you have chosen has a great reputation and that past customers have been happy with their experience (this, of course, goes for all kinds of experiences – not just fishing).
Sustainable practices
Make sure you only target fish species that are in season, and are not on the endangered list. Adopting a catch-and-release system (whereby you only take what you need, and you adhere to the fish size rule regulations) is one way you can ensure you aren’t doing more harm than good during your Miami fishing trip.
We hope that this information is helpful for you when it comes to booking the fishing trip of your dreams in Miami. Miami is a luxurious location that has so much to offer. You won’t only be able to enjoy the fun that comes from the fishing trips in the area, but you have the amazing place itself, which boasts luxe beaches, rooftop bars, a great clubbing scene, and so much more! It is not difficult to see why so many people are attracted to this part of the world (and why Chanel & Stevo hope to go there one day soon too).
