Porbeagle
While not as common a target as other species, porbeagle sharks can be found off the coast of Miami, Florida. Miami's access to the Gulf Stream puts anglers in striking distance of these pelagic predators. Targeting porbeagles here is a specialized pursuit, with the best time being during the winter months when water temperatures are cooler. This is strictly a bluewater fishery, requiring a capable boat and experienced crew. The key to success is finding temperature breaks and current edges where porbeagles are likely to congregate. A local tip: use a heavy wire leader and circle hooks when targeting these sharks, and always practice responsible catch-and-release techniques. While porbeagles are not as abundant here as in more northern waters, the chance to encounter one in the warm waters off Miami adds an element of surprise to any offshore fishing trip.
