Hop aboard with Miller Time Sportfishing for a quick but thrilling inshore escapade. We're talking shark central here, folks – nurse sharks, blacktips, lemons, you name it. But the real showstopper? The great barracuda. These toothy torpedoes are known to reach record sizes in these parts, so get ready to test your mettle against some seriously impressive fish. Don't worry if you're new to fishing – our crew's got you covered with all the know-how and gear you'll need.

We'll be hitting up the inshore waters, cruising over vibrant patch reefs that are teeming with life. Our go-to technique? Good old-fashioned bait fishing. We'll set you up with sturdy rods and reels, perfect for handling the power of a big shark or the lightning-fast runs of a barracuda. Keep your eyes peeled as we chum the waters – when those dorsal fins start circling or that telltale silver flash darts by, you'll know it's game on. For the barracuda, we might switch it up with some trolling, dragging lures that these aggressive predators just can't resist. It's all about reading the water, working with the tides, and being ready for that heart-pounding moment when a fish strikes.
Great Barracuda: These sleek, silver missiles are the stuff of fishing legends. Growing up to 5 feet long and weighing in at over 50 pounds, hooking a big 'cuda is like trying to reel in a rocket. They're known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps – when a barracuda hits your bait, hold on tight! These guys are year-round residents, but the biggest specimens often show up in the warmer months. Anglers love 'em for their fierce fights and those impressive teeth that make for some killer photos.
Sharks: From the docile nurse sharks to the zippy blacktips, our waters are home to a variety of shark species. Lemon sharks are a particular favorite – these curious yellow-tinged predators can grow up to 10 feet long and put up one heck of a fight. Shark fishing is all about the thrill of the chase and the raw power you feel on the other end of the line. Plus, there's something primal about coming face-to-face with one of the ocean's top predators. Don't worry, though – we practice catch and release to keep these amazing creatures swimming for years to come.
Mutton Snapper: While we're primarily after the big game, don't be surprised if you hook into a tasty mutton snapper. These beautiful red and yellow fish are prized for their sweet, firm flesh. They love hanging around the patch reefs we'll be fishing, and they put up a respectable fight for their size. If you're lucky enough to catch one, you might just have secured yourself a delicious dinner!
Cero Mackerel: Fast, feisty, and delicious, cero mackerel are like the sports cars of the sea. These streamlined predators hunt in packs, so when you find one, you've often found many. They're known for their blistering runs and acrobatic leaps, making them a blast to catch on light tackle. And if you're into fresh fish tacos, well, you're in for a treat if we land a few of these speedy swimmers.
It's not just about the fish – though let's be honest, the fish are pretty darn awesome. This trip is a crowd-pleaser because it packs so much into just three hours.

Cero mackerel are speedy little torpedoes that'll give you a fun fight. You'll spot them near the surface around patch reefs and shipwrecks in clear coastal waters. They're not schooling fish, so you'll usually catch them solo or in small groups. Most weigh 5-10 pounds, maxing out around 17 pounds. Summer's the best time to target them, especially offshore where they spawn. Anglers love ceros for their quick runs and tasty meat - they're sushi-grade fish, perfect for ceviche. Here's a tip: they've got sharp eyes, so use light line. A 20-pound braid on a spinning reel works well. Try topwater lures for some exciting action - ceros love to jump for their food. Chum with cut bait to get them fired up, then hold on tight when they hit. Just watch those teeth when you're landing them!

These ocean speedsters are a thrill to catch. Growing up to 6 feet long, great barracudas are sleek predators with razor-sharp teeth. You'll find them near the surface around patch reefs and in crystal clear waters. They're fast swimmers, hitting 35 mph in short bursts. Spring and summer are prime seasons when they're most active. Anglers love the challenge - barracudas put up a tenacious fight, though they tire quickly. Watch out for those teeth when landing one! For best results, use shiny lures that mimic their favorite prey like herrings or sardines. A word of caution: they're naturally curious, so don't wear jewelry that might attract unwanted attention. While attacks on humans are rare, it's best to respect these impressive fish. Catching a big barracuda is sure to get your heart racing.

Mutton snappers are prized catches, known for their delicious meat and solid fight. You'll typically find these olive-colored beauties hanging around reefs and sandy areas, usually 80-300 feet deep. Adults can reach up to 37 inches, though most are around 20 inches. They're solitary fish, so you won't see big schools. Spring is spawning season, when they gather near reef edges. Anglers love muttons for their strength and the challenge of coaxing them out of structure. Here's a local tip: use fresh bait and a light sinker. Let it drift in the chum slick - muttons can't resist. When you see that distinctive pink flash in the clear water, you know you've got one. Just be ready for a run when they realize they're hooked. Smooth, steady pressure is key to landing these tasty fighters.
