Biscayne Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report
The Tarpon fishing this season has been night and day difference compared to last year. The tarpon fishing in Biscayne Bay is still holding strong with fish starting to move back up north. Most of the fish I've been seeing have been north bounders and very little south bound fish. In the upper keys I am seeing a fifty-fifty of north bounder and south bounders. I usually travel to wherever the tarpon fishing has been the best.
Bone-fishing has been excellent early in the morning and the later part of the afternoon. A well placed fly or shrimp has been doing the trick.
Permit fishing has finally started to heat up. There have been lots of permit inside the bay especially when the weather has cooperated. Last Wednesday I was into a school of at least forty Permit. We landed two and lost one that was cut off by a sea fan.
Flamingo has been red hot with fish everywhere. Redfish have been all over the grass flats on the eastern part of Florida bay. They have been tailing early in the morning and easting anything you put in front of them Snook have also been on the flat and on the beaches. On Memorial Day we caught 48 snook and left them bighting. The trout fishing has also been great on the deeper grass flats. It is not uncommon the catch one on every other cast.
Now is a great time to fish if you want to fish Biscayne Bay and do not want to stay out all day because of the heat. I do many two a day trips now in the mid summer. I usually start at 6:00 Am to 10:00 AM and from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM for those of you who can't fish all day. If you're interested in fishing Flamingo I only do full day trips.
The fishing is on fire book a trip now and get it while it's hot!
