Fishing Tips, Bait, and Techniques for Yellowtail Fishing

Though elusive and finicky, Yellowtail is a fun deep-sea fishing experience in South Florida. We’ll leave you with some tips behind, but remember, our guided tours will not only tell you everything you need to know, but we’ll provide the equipment, too!

  • Fishing techniques: Chumming (which consists of using ground-up fish, sand, and oats to create a chum slick) is important for luring them close to the boat.
  • A light spinning rod and small hooks with live bait like Pilchards, shrimp, or minnows is also great for catching them.
  • Bait: Pilchards, shrimp, or minnows for live bait. Bonito, sardines, squid for cut bait, and small jigs or soft plastics tipped artificial ones also work.
