faq - Miami Private fishing lakes

I’ve never fished before or have little experience. Can you still take us out?

We love fishing with everyone, so you don’t have to worry about being inexperienced. Capt. Rick will teach you the basics. Casting the rod, how to fight the fish, bait the hook. We have you covered to ensure you’ll always have a great time.

Are Kids Allowed on the Boat?

Absolutely YES! Kids are allowed on the boat. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing your child fight and land their 1st big fish. The smiles are unforgettable. We’d love to share that experience with you.

Can we keep what we catch?

We believe in preserving our lake and the fish within it so we are a Catch and Release boat. This means you will not be available to take anything you catch home, but pictures will last forever.

What Kind of Fish will we catch?

You can see the type of fish we’ll be catching on the “What we Catch” Page at the top of your screen in the menu.

Is there anything we should bring on our trip?

It is recommended to bring Drinks, Snacks, Sunscreen, Sunglasses, and a Hat. These items are not included that you can read about here, but you are welcome to bring them on board. You can purchase a Whata Fight Hat when you get here if you like.

No Fish No Pay Policy

We’re so sure that we will put you on fish that we guarantee it! We want your day to be one to remember and if we fail well it’s just as it says NO FISH NO PAY!

What if I’m Late to get to the boat

Your fishing time starts promptly at the time you scheduled your trip. This is your time. Please plan accordingly to arrive on time. Give yourself 15 mins to insure you will be on time.
