About This Spot
The Raychel (also spelled Rachel) is a 164-foot steel freighter sunk on July 30, 1991, now resting at a depth of 185 feet with 20 feet of relief off Miami-Dade County. Broken into three sections, the wreck provides scattered structure that holds bait and attracts predatory game fish. It's a productive spot for offshore anglers using vertical jigging or slow trolling techniques to target species like Amberjack, Blackfin Tuna, and Grouper. The Raychel’s depth and layout make it a reliable location for experienced anglers looking to work deep structure with minimal fishing pressure.
