Miami Fishing Charter Information
Daytime Trips on the "Edge"
Double D Charters specializes in offshore live baiting & kite fishing.
This is a very exciting and extremely productive fishing technique. Live baits
are drifted off of one side of the boat, while a kite or two is flown off the
other side of the boat. Attached to the kite, through clips, are more live baits
attached to your fishing line. Basically, you now have live baits all around the
boat. This kind of fishing is very effective for sailfish, dolphin, kingfish,
tuna, wahoo, cobia, as well as many other types of offshore species.
When you want to maintain a certain depth the use of a 15 ft Paratech sea anchor
is deployed at the bow. Two kites with three baits each are deployed of the stern,
and a deep rod and flatline are fished off the bow. This technique not only holds
your depth silently, but also the wave action is absorbed by the bow while you
are comfortable at the stern of the boat.
Evening Swordfishing Charters
Come experience the ultimate blue water fish. Swordfish are truly one of the
greatest predators in the ocean. Feel the pull of a swordfish, and you will be
hooked for life. Typically, 5 to 6 rods with live and dead baits are drifted at
night in the Gulfstream. Tackle is 80 wide Alutecnos 2 speed reels with Custom
Stand-up Biscayne Rods.
Daytime Swordfish Charters
Daytime swordfishing is the latest craze in deep sea fishing. Come with Capt.
Dean Panos who helped pioneer this fishery off of Miami. Dead bait is fished at
depths in excess of 1500 feet in the Gulfstream. Braided line is used and the
bait is held to the bottom with the use of a very heavy lead. Double D Charters
has both electric and manual reels that are used in this fishery and the option
is solely up to the customer. We even have the new Daiwa MP 3000 electric/manual
reel. This reel enables the customer to reel in the fish by hand, or use the electric
portion of the reel to bring up the bait or lead.
Typically the swordfish caught during the day are substantially larger than
the fish caught at night. If it is BIG fish you want to catch, then this is the
fishery for you! Double D Charters has boated swordfish over 500 pounds during
the day and many over the 300 and 400 pound mark.
Evening Tarpon Charters
Double D Charters also does evening tarpon trips (December - June). Tarpon
trips are four hour trips, primarily after regular work hours. Tarpon are found
in the various South Florida inlets and Biscayne Bay during the months of December
- June. Tarpon are also fished with live bait, but the opportunity to fish tarpon
with artificial baits almost always exists.
General Charter Information
Double D Charters provides full day, half day and ¾ day charters, as
well as evening tarpon charters (December - June), as well as multi-day Bahamas
trips and night swordfishing trips.
Double D Charters is setup to fish with a maximum of 6 anglers, although two
or three anglers provide a much more comfortable and more hands on interaction.
The Captain provides everything needed for a day of fishing including: tackle,
licenses, ice, etc. The customer should bring their own food and drink. Cooler
with ice is on board the vessel. Sunglasses, hat and sunscreen are recommended. Sunscreen should be non-aerosol type as aerosol sunscreens can stain the deck of the boat.
The Captain is always willing to teach as much or as little as the anglers
desire. Everyone from a novice to an expert fisherman are welcomed.
Double D Charters also caters to family charters. The Captain has two children
of his own, and is understanding of children's' special needs. There is no better
way to ensure the sport of fishing, than to introduce a child to the fun of fishing.
Double D Charters is a proven tournament winner that is committed to providing
his anglers fish to catch. The Captain wants to ensure that people will catch
the fish of a lifetime.
We can also custom tailor a trip to meet your needs. Special hours can be arranged
