What Is Reef and Wreck Fishing?

Reef and wreck fishing targets species that gather around underwater structure along Miami’s Atlantic coast. Artificial reefs, historic shipwrecks, and natural ledges create feeding zones that attract baitfish and the powerful gamefish that hunt them.

Miami’s extensive reef system and deep offshore wrecks hold steady fish populations at multiple depths. These structure-rich zones attract snapper, grouper, amberjack, cobia, and other prized reef species throughout the year.

Professional Miami captains use GPS mapping, advanced fish finders, and proven bottom fishing techniques to position precisely over productive structure. Anchored or controlled-drift presentations are adjusted for depth, current, and target species to maximize action and consistency.

Why Reef and Wreck Fishing Is Popular in Miami
