Daytime Inshore Saltwater Fishing

Miami's inshore saltwater fishery is world-class, and daytime conditions put your group in front of snook, redfish, tarpon, seatrout, and more across the shallow flats, mangrove edges, and tidal channels of Biscayne Bay. Captain Jose runs daytime inshore charters aboard a 2016 Key West Bay Reef 210 — a 21-foot shallow-draft center console built specifically for these environments. All gear, live bait, and Florida saltwater fishing licenses for up to four guests are included on every trip.

Nighttime Inshore Saltwater Fishing

After dark, Miami's inshore waters become some of the most productive fishing environments in South Florida. Snook stage under lighted docks and bridges, tarpon feed through tidal channels, and the boat traffic that disrupts daytime fishing disappears entirely. TikiFish Adventures nighttime inshore charters target the species that are most active after sunset — with Captain Jose navigating to the specific structures and channels where fish are feeding based on current tide and conditions. All equipment and licenses are included.

Lobster Bully Netting — Night Charters

Florida spiny lobster bully netting is one of the most hands-on, participatory water experiences available in Miami — and one of the most memorable. After dark, spiny lobster move out of their daytime shelter into the shallow grass flats and sandy bottom areas of Miami's inshore system, where they are located using underwater lighting and harvested using a tickle stick and bully net. Captain Jose coaches every guest through the technique, and all netting equipment, lighting, and lobster licenses are included. Bully netting charters operate during Florida's designated lobster season.

Daytime Freshwater Fishing

Miami sits on top of one of the most underrated freshwater fishing environments in Florida — a canal system and network of lakes that host butterfly peacock bass, Florida largemouth bass, oscar, Mayan cichlid, and more. TikiFish Adventures daytime freshwater charters give your group access to this overlooked fishery, including the butterfly peacock bass — one of the most aggressive and visually striking freshwater gamefish available anywhere in the continental United States. All rods, tackle, live bait, and Florida freshwater licenses are included for up to four guests.
