March 27. 2015 On the decided day we first bait fished and then we went out on the blue water. The weather and our mood were great, all that was missing was the fish and so. The kites were set and the fishing was going. After a short time we got our first bite and I started a fight with a big fish that went into the deep without showing it´s kind. Even Charlie was not sure of the fish, but no doubt it was huge. While I was fighting we got a bite on another rod and my wife was asked if she wanted to fight a beautiful Mahi Mahi. She had never tried fishing but was well guided by Todd and shortly after her first ever catch was landed. I continued a heavy fight and after about ¾ hour the fish finally came up to the boat. It was a huge Sailfish. After a few pictures of the fish still remaining in the water it was released. Charlie told me that the fish was too big and exhausted and probably would die if it came on board for a photo session. It seemed to me like a very respectful treatment of such a beautiful fish. The fishing continued with great enthusiasm and I managed to catch Mahi Mahi, Bonito and in a small pause also a Red Snapper before I had to fight another huge Sailfish. And this time there was no doubt. What a skydiver! It did several jumps and a marvelous tail dance. After another long fight the fish was finally released also without coming out of the water. I definitely agree it is better to spare the fish than to get a couple of pictures. Then the pictures onboard just have to wait for the next trip. Finally I caught a couple of huge Bonitos a large Barracuda before I ended the day with a Blackfin Tuna. Actually I thought we were done but no, Charlie had time for one last drive and we had not used all our bait. What enthusiasm!. Overall, I caught six different species, fought fish for probably more than 3 hours all guided by two highly competent and dedicated guys who were just as excited as I was. Finally, I can only quote Arnold "Ill be back" Joergen & Susan, Denmark

My buddy and I chartered a 1/2 day with Captain Charlie. It was my first time fishing in Miami and didnt know what to expect. When I say I was overwhelmed by the experience I am not giving it enough credit. Charlie was awesome, great personality and really knowledgeable about the area and fishing in general. Once we caught our bait we headed 2 miles out were we set up our kites (if you havent kite fished before you are in for a treat!!) By the time we got our fourth rig in the water, three of the four line had FISH ON!! The first couple hours we caught a bunch of 40 plus pound Sailfish and the currents must have changed because we were started landing Mahi Mahi left and right. Once we got back to the dock absolutely exhausted. Charlie sent us down the street were a restaurant called Montys cooked up our catch , blackened Mahi Mahi, Rice & Beans and a Pain Killer #3. Killer!!!. Best day of my Miami vacation by far. Next time I am doing a full day..Miami Fishing Charters hands down the best in the area.

Outstanding!!! When you go out fishing with The Marauder and its crew you are definitely in for an enjoyable experience! These guys are for real and they know what they are doing and how to keep it fun and exciting! I had never done this type of fishing before so I was totally relying on the confidence of Captain Todd and First Mate Carlos to show me how it was done, and that is exactly what they did! They did not overwhelm me with a lot of unnecessary information but were quick to answer any questions I had and their coaching throughout the trip was outstanding. After coaching me through a long fight with a huge sailfish, Carlos and Todd got him in the boat for a quick round of pictures. I was very impressed with the care that was taken to quickly return and revive the catch. These guys are truly professionals! Thanks again Captain Todd for a great experience, can’t wait for the next time!

Hands Down the BEST fishing trip I have ever been on!!! Everyone needs to take a charter aboard the Marauder!! Capt. Todd & Capt. Charlie know exactly what they are doing & where they are going out on the open sea..Our day began with a HUGE Amber Jack catch & we proceeded to a couple different spots to catch a ton of dolphin, grouper & my DREAM CATCH, a SAILFISH!!! I have always wanted to fight and catch a sailfish, and Capt. Todd & Capt. Charlie made my dream into a reality! It was about a 30 minute fight & they coached me along every second of the fight..It was tough but they did not let me give up! It was a total rush & an item I was able to scratch off of my bucket list that afternoon! If you are ready to embark on the open waters for some amazing off-shore fishing, then please give Capt. Todd & Capt. Charlie a call & let them give you the experience of a lifetime! Thanks again Guys!

I have gone fishing with Capt. Charlie and Capt. Todd on several occasions and it has been nothing short of a phenomenal experience every time. We have caught sailfish, wahoo, mahi mahi, tarpon, kingfish, blackfin tuna, and a host of other species on these trips. These two Captains are passionate about fishing and will do everything in their power to make sure you catch fish and enjoy a beautiful day on the water. I have been fishing with other guides who count the minutes, focus solely on their costs, and demean clients new to the sport. These two are the complete opposite, as their genuine goal and focus is helping their clients catch a fish of a lifetime. The mate Carlos is also one of the best in Miami and it is amazing to watch him at work when the action gets going. Recommend the Marauder and its crew highly and will be fishing with them years into the future.

My experience with Miami Fishing was enjoyable and rewarding. I wanted to catch fish and these guys were fully committed to that goal. For them, the trip was not a job; they loved being on the water and they loved fishing. Their enthusiasm was infectious. The boat was fully prepared and on time. It was well suited to all kinds of conditions, from flat water to chop to 5-6 foot rollers to the cross-currents of Government Cut. Charlie’s boat handling skills were superb, and were well matched by the superb fishing skills and teamwork of Todd and Carlos. In addition, they were affable, welcoming, and totally professional. Most importantly, they were relentless in their pursuit of fish. The payoff? A huge Cobia, a gorgeous sailfish and several beautiful mahi-mahi. Plus, a great memory! I highly recommend this team. I know I’ll be back. Brendan Boston, MA

Had the absolute BEST day out at sea fishing with Capt. Todd and Capt. Charlie!! It was my first time ever going fishing and I wasnt sure what to expect - but WOW, they FAR exceeded all expectations I had! Naturally as a newbie, I had SO many questions and they answered every single one with such care and depth, its so clear to see how passionate they truly are about what they do. They coached and guided my friends and I every step of the way and showed us a variety of techniques, depths, and fish! I caught a huge Amber Jack for my first fish and they coached me the entire time - what a rush it was! We also caught multiple Sailfish, a bunch of Mahi, and a grouper. I honestly cant even say enough amazing things about this fishing charter or these two Captains - they are the best of the BEST, and I highly recommend them to everyone!
