What Is the Gulf Stream — and Why It Matters
The Gulf Stream is a powerful ocean current that flows northward along Florida’s Atlantic coast. In the summer, it pushes warm, nutrient-rich water just a few miles offshore — and with it comes a steady flow of pelagic game fish.
For Miami anglers, this means deep sea fishing action just minutes from the Haulover marina.
What Is the Gulf Stream — and Why It Matters
- Mahi-Mahi (Dorado) – bright green-and-yellow fish known for surface strikes and wild jumps
- Blackfin Tuna – fast, powerful, and excellent eating
- Wahoo – sleek, fast, and explosive
- Bonito – aggressive and great for action-packed trips
You may also run into barracuda, kingfish, or even the occasional blue marlin on a full-day trip.
Summer Weather Conditions
Summer brings light morning winds, calm seas, and hot midday sun. It’s the perfect time for families or experienced anglers to chase big fish offshore.
Most trips leave early to take advantage of cooler temps and low wind — and to beat any late-day showers.
What to Expect on a Gulf Stream Trip
- Fast runs offshore — we’re fishing deep water 5–10 miles from shore
- Trolling and live baiting are the main techniques
- Expect constant action in the summer, especially for mahi
- Trips can be tailored for families or serious anglers
- All gear, bait, ice, and licenses included
