Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
It almost sounds like a broken record. Rain, wind, hot temperatures and mediocrity fishing that leads to less charters than our South Florida fishing guides and captains have ever seen. That is what I keep hearing from my fellow guides and captains. The weather conditions and sparse fishing charters is somewhat true but the fishing and the fishing results is not. When I have been on the water especially in Flamingo in Everglades National Park I have found plenty of and good quality fish to be around and hungry.
In Everglades national Park we have had lots of action from small to 14 inch mangrove snappers, ladyfish, sea trout, tripletail, redfish, tarpon, snook and sharks. And of course there always is the jacks, ladyfish, catfish and a few bluefish. All of this action is taking place using live pilchards, pinfish, Rapala plugs, Hookup lures tipped with Gulp and Trigger X baits and Cajun Thunders. Here in the Park our fishing has been all day long.
In North Biscayne Bay sea trout, snappers, jacks, ladyfish, sharks, snook, small tarpon and barracudas have been active from 7 AM till 11 AM.
Offshore fishing has been slow except for bonitos.
Miami Fishing Forecast:
I expect our fishing to stay as it is till we get to the end of September and then expect things to change quickly for the better.
Target Species:
SNOOK, TARPON, SEA TROUT, REDFISH, DOLPHINS, SHARKS, SNAPPER
