Offshore Fishing with Double D Charters in North Miami | Fishing

Stretching beyond the vibrant shores of North Miami, Double D Charters offers a 6.5-hour, high-caliber offshore fishing trip that transforms a day on the water into a dynamic angling adventure. This service specializes in a distinctive combination of live baiting and kite fishing, a technique that floods the water with live bait spread above and below the surface, enticing a broad spectrum of prized species like sailfish, dolphin, kingfish, tuna, wahoo, and cobia.

The trip begins in the calm, blue expanse off Florida’s coast, where the boat deploys an 18-foot Paratech sea anchor at the bow to maintain a silent drifting position. Two kites fly from the stern, each rigged with three live baits, while deep rods and flatlines are fished off the bow—creating a strategic and effective fishing setup that maximizes catch potential without disturbing the marine environment. With room for up to six anglers, this excursion balances intimate, hands-on participation with professional-grade gear and instruction.

Captain Dean Panos, who runs Double D Charters, equips anglers with all necessary licenses and tackle, welcoming everyone from beginners to seasoned fishermen. His experience as a father makes the trip especially accommodating for families, ensuring that children’s needs are met and the thrill of fishing is accessible for all ages.
