Winter Fishing in Florida

As the rest of the country freezes, we here in Miami are enjoying some great weather and some great fishing. While some species of fish are migrating South as the weather cools, there are still a number of types of fish appearing during the wonderful, mild Miami winter season. The months of November through February are ideal for catching Snapper, Sailfish, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Spanish mackerel, Tarpon, and Trout. These fish are great for angling, with exciting and flashy swimming as your draw in the line. Miami Deep Sea Fishing is also a great escape from the stress of the holidays and the perfect activity for you to enjoy with your family.

The THERAPY-IV fleet is located in Halouver Marina, just 6 minutes from the gulfstream. Check out pictures of some of the monsters we have caught deep-sea fishing on the Daily Catch section of our website. We also have a YouTube page filled with exciting catches. That could be you and your family on your next fishing trip with Therapy-IV!

Our fishing experience is perfect for anyone, beginners and seasoned alike. Book a trip with us and see why, to seasoned anglers, there is nothing more thrilling than the tell-tale tug of a “monster” on the fishing line. Monsters, as they are affectionately nick-named, refer to big game fish.

In Loving Memory of Richard Sharpstein, An All-American Hero

Today we would like to honor one of my very good friends, Richard Sharpstein, who has left us far too early. Known to his friends as one of the kindest, most loving people we’ve ever met, he will never be forgotten.

Richard Sharpstein was a renowned Miami criminal lawyer, recognized as a larger-than-life courtroom figure with a signature gravel voice and engaging personality. Richard was the best at his job, and had handled some of Miami Dade County's most high profile cases in a career that spanned four decades. He focused on white collar criminal defenses, but he tried cases across a wide range of crimes including civil fraud, civil rights violations, and cases involving corporate executives, politicians, and other public figures.

"I admired Richard as an attorney and later as a judge when he appeared in front of me," former Third District Court of Appeal Chief Judge Juan Ramirez, Jr. wrote on the Daily Business Review website. "He was colorful but ethical and trustworthy. His arguments were well thought out and incisive. As a human being, he was a great guy. We will miss him."

Services for renowned Miami criminal lawyer Richard Sharpstein will be held Sunday on Miami Beach. The funeral will take place at Temple Beth Sholom, 4144 Chase Ave., at 1:30 p.m. His law firm, Akerman Senterfitt, announced the creation of a donation bank in his honor, the Foundation for Criminal Justice.

The THERAPY-IV offers our condolences to his family and all those who cared for Richard. His memory will live on in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.

Now, just a glimpse into a wonderful life gone too soon:
