Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
Happy Holidays to all of my clients, great sponsors, friends and family!
Hope everyone had a special New Year!
The Holidays are always a busy time for fishing guides and this year was no different than past years. I was on the water more days than not and have finally had a break in the charters and that has given me an opportunity to sit and write a fishing report. This report will need to be broken into two parts. There were way too many trips and pictures during the past four weeks for me to post them all in this report.
For the past few years and this year South Florida has experienced summer like weather during December. Weather like that is not good for December fishing in South Florida because we need the cooler conditions to push the migratory fish into our backyard. We have had these fish at times but it has not been consistent. The good thing is we had a front come through yesterday and another will be here in a few days. That should push more mackerels, bluefish, pompano, big jacks, ladyfish and groupers and snappers into the Bay so my clients can start catching the numbers of fish we are more used to catching this time of the year in North and South Bay.
Yesterday in Flamingo with cooler weather conditions my clients had good action from snappers, jacks, snook and redfish.
In North Bay we have had decent action but no big numbers of fish as of yet. We have caught snook, jacks, ladyfish, bluefish, mackerel, and small kingfish plus snappers and small groupers with warm weather. In late November and early December we had cooler water conditions and some real nice gag groupers, plenty of mackerel and small kingfish. That action should return after Tuesday.
In South Bay I had one day when we caught a ton of mutton snappers and some nice gag groupers. I have had other trips in that same area with warmer conditions and had no action at all. That also should change after Tuesday.
Offshore we have had mackerel, kingfish, snapper, dolphins and jacks the few times I have been offshore.
Flamingo action will get better now that the weather is turning cooler. Big Spanish mackerel, bluefish, pompano, cobias, tripletail and sharks are out in the open water and along the shorelines and in the channels redfish, snook, sheepshead, sea trout and black drum will be biting.
I have open dates and the fishing will continue to be good for some time.
