Remix Sportfishing Charters — Local services in Miami

Spent a full day on the Remix early June. From the onset everything was extremely professional. I've done a couple of these in freshwater, and one in the gulf - but this was very different. For starters, the boat trumps about anything you'll find. It's new, and it flies. I didn't realize the difference this would make until we were on the mahi.

We started the day catching bait. Only about 15-30 minutes, but even catching the bait fish was a lot of fun. Some of those little guys can really bend a rod - it's not like freshwater fishing that's for sure.

After we baited up, we spent a lot of time looking for mahi, which was relaxing and allowed us to take in the ocean and the skyline (until it eventually disappeared). This is where the boat makes all the difference. Success fishing mahi (from my uneducated perspective based on a single day) seemed like it centered around capitalizing on the small schools of 3-5 fish when you find them. When you get on a school w/ Jay on the deck and Sarah up top scouting, it's somewhat chaotic - in a good way. It was just my wife and I, so we were pulling them in about as fast as we could catch up to them. I would imagine most boats are lucky to get 1 or 2 out of a school. We consistently pulled in more than that with how they ran the boat. It makes for a lot of fun.

After the mahi, around noon we headed to some structures and drifted. We put the kites out at this point which is something I've never experienced. My wife started the afternoon off with a large tuna. I pulled in a smaller one. Then it was game time. They warned us that the sails are moving out at this time of year - so we were surprised when my wife hooked one. 35 minutes later we pulled it up on the boat for a handful of quick pictures before releasing. Her catching a 6-7' (the story we tell is already up to 8') sail has to be in her top 5 all time experiences. Part of that is because Sarah was there to talk her through it the whole time. Jay and I mostly stood back and watched, with him checking the drag every once in a while, but she pulled the thing in herself - something a lot of captains might not have been ok spectating for 35 minutes.

In the end we came home with a cooler full of mahi and tuna - which Sarah and Jay bagged and packed for us. We sat at the bar 100ft from the docked boat and the restaurant cooked up some of the fresh catch for $7pp. Can't beat that.

All in all it was a great day. We couldn't have asked for...

If you want the Quick review scroll to the last Paragraph or just book them now. I use them for all of my charters when I travel to the area and will recommend them hands down.

I Decided to book with JC for the first time a couple of months ago while I was planning a trip in October with my parents. I had been wanting to fish with him for a while, so I figured I would Jump on booking him. Well naturally I couldn’t wait till then to go fishing so I hit him up and he just happened to have some availability August 2. As we pulled up to the marina we met JC and his lovely Fiancé Sarah. They both had Smiles on their face and welcomed us on the boat right away. I can appreciate charters that are on time and ready to roll when they say to be there. With music bumping we headed out to the open seas. I knew it was going to be a good day! We started off catching some bait and ended up with more than we needed. We dropped some Sabiki Rigs and JC showed off by throwing a net on a school of Ballyhoo. 😂 we headed out to the edge of the stream in search of mahi. As soon as we reached our destination we spotted a flock of birds diving on the water. The pursuit was on. JC and Sarah worked so well together switching places trying to chase down this school of mahi. Round and round we went. Unfortunately there was not much seaweed around and they were high tailing it. We were able to hook 1 but even leaving her in the water for a minute didn’t entice the others to stick around. We headed back inshore and drifted a wreck were we pulled in a monster Cuda. A couple more drifts and we decided to switch gears. With clear water drifting in we decided to throw up some kites. Ended up with a Bonita and a king or cuda couldn’t tell before he came flying out of the water and the hook pulled. All of a sudden Sarah starts yelling from the tower a blacked out Sail is headed through our spread. I got goosebumps and my heart rate went up . Unfortunately he kept on moving and didn’t get eyes on our baits. Such is life but it was a good little tease for my next trip with them.

Overall it was a tough day out on the water but they worked tirelessly to try and put us on the fish. The passion they have for the sport of fishing and their kind personalities will keep me coming back for a life time. I am thankful for the friends I have gained and I look forward to fishing with them more. If you are looking for a top notch charter in the Miami Area no reason to look any...

This trip was an extra special trip for my family. My husband has been fighting stage 4 metastatic colon cancer for 5+ years. Three weeks ago while sitting in chemotherapy he said he wanted to catch a sailfish. I immediately called our friend Dave, who is a boat captain we have known 20+ years. I asked Dave for a recommendation. Dave’s exact words were “your best chance and experience is with Captain Jc and Remix Sportfishing.” I sent a text to Jc, he went ABOVE AND BEYOND to accommodate our schedule. Just from his communication I could tell I was dealing with a 1st class operation.

My son, my husband ,my friend and myself met Capt Jc and his mate Danny at the boat 7:00am. They welcomed us and made us feel more then comfortable.

We learned about Kite fishing, we learned that Florida sharks are HUNGRY… lol, we enjoyed the ride on the beautiful 44’ Contender center console. Wow what a vessel!! If you have not fished on a boat with a Seakeeper- you have no idea what you are missing!!!

My son caught a king mackeral, my husband caught two sharks, my friend hooked a wahoo but it cut the line last minute.

We did not get a sailfish… BUT we did get a day full of memories and laughs. Capt Jc and Danny tried soooo incredibly hard to find and land that sailfish. It was impossible for us to feel disappointed because we had such a great day. We consider ourselves blessed to be able to take these trips and meet such amazing strangers that quickly became our friends.

If you are looking for an amazing experience with a great captain and team… I promise Remix Sportfishing will not disappoint.

Thank you Jc for creating this memories for us… will will be back soon!
