About This Spot
The Doc De Milly is a 287-foot steel freighter originally built in 1949 as the Nuevo Rio and now resting upright at 140 feet deep off Miami-Dade County. Sunk in March 1986, the ship features 50 feet of relief and serves as a massive artificial reef teeming with marine life. Anglers fishing this site can expect mutton snapper, amberjack, black grouper, and the occasional permit or cobia. Its large profile makes it easy to mark on sonar, and the vertical relief attracts both bottom-dwelling and midwater predators. A premier deepwater target for those looking to hook into serious gamefish.
