Miami, FL Fish Species

When you fish with Endless Adventure Fishing Charters in Miami, FL, you're tapping into one of the most diverse year-round fisheries in the country. From vibrant Peacock Bass in the city’s freshwater canal systems to hard-fighting Snook and Tarpon along the inshore flats of Biscayne Bay, South Florida delivers consistent action across all seasons. Our trips are designed to target the region’s top game fish using light tackle, live bait, and sight-casting techniques, all tailored to your goals and experience level.

Peacock Bass are most active in Miami’s urban canals during warmer months—typically April through October—when water temps stay high and the fish feed aggressively near shorelines and submerged structures. Largemouth Bass can be caught year-round, but their best bite is during the cooler morning and evening hours from November to March. On the saltwater side, Snook fishing peaks in the spring and fall, especially around tidal creeks, mangrove edges, and backcountry flats. Tarpon, known for their size and acrobatics, are best targeted from late spring through summer, with early morning and dusk being prime windows for hookups.

With expert guidance from Captain Erich Aenlle, anglers of all ages and experience levels can target South Florida’s most sought-after species while enjoying a safe, hands-on experience. Our seasonal targeting strategy, paired with real-time knowledge of Miami’s fishery, helps you make the most of every cast.
