Tarpon, Sailfish, Kingfish, And More Off Miami - As I sit here and write this report, another front has just passed through the South Florida area. This one had plenty of rain and wind.

Good Offshore Action and Red Hot Tarpon Bite - Offshore if you find a good edge and north current the fishing has been outstanding with sailfish, kingfish, a few dolphin (mahi-mahi), and mutton snapper.

Offshore and Inshore Action in the Haulover Area - Let's start with the offshore action in the Haulover area.
