A native of South Miami, FL – Capt. Raul specializes in guiding resident and visiting light tackle enthusiasts for trophy bonefish, permit, and tarpon. Guided fishing trips in Miami, FL are the perfect opportunity to enjoy one of the most pristine and visually profound landscapes in south Florida – as Biscayne Bay is the watershed which marks the northern most tip of the Florida Keys. Two of the key characteristics that make Capt. Raul an outstanding Miami fishing guide are his attention to detail and patience. Mastering flats fishing in Miami, FL takes years of practice, precision, and dedication – all of which are shared during every guided fishing trip in Biscayne Bay, Everglades National Park, and the backcountry of the Florida Keys.

From the time he leaves the dock to the time he returns, his goal on every guided fishing trip is to maximize opportunities to connect with the fish of a lifetime.
When choosing a Miami fishing guide, it’s important to consider their experience as well as the frequency of their charter schedule. Many of the fishing guides in Miami, FL are “weekend warriors’, which means that guided fishing is not their principal career. Raul has been a full-time
fishing guide in Miami, FL for over 14 years, having guided 16 years part-time before that. Choosing a guide that is actively fishing at least three to four days a week is critical – as the tides and conditions change every day, often in a pattern which can only be assessed with regular
trips. Capt. Raul Montoro is a native Miami Fishing Guide specializing in angling for Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon, and Shark. Call 786.390.9069 for availability
