Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
Trout, redfish, and bonefish are biting with abandon.
Flamingo Fishing Forecast:
Late summer and fall fishing should continue providing strong, steady action inshore. There has been a lot of concern over the Gulf oil spill recently however; the fishing has been great. The waters have been teaming with fish from Flamingo to Biscayne Bay. Summer has had a great variety of all-around action. Snapper, trout, bonefish, redfish, tarpon, shark, and permit fishing has been good. As we move through to the fall the bite should remain just as good and even improve as we start to see the mullet migration and gradual temperature changes. I think the beginning of the fall is one of the best times to fish of the year. Fishing should only get better and better as temperatures and climate starts to change. In the meanwhile I would suggest flats fishing Flamingo flats and cuts for redfish, trout, and snapper. Biscayne Bay flats fishing should continue to be awesome for bonefish and permit. Later on when the mullet start moving and the shrimp-the tarpon will start eating well again. But you will never know if you don't go.
Favorite Flamingo baits include the Gulp shrimp or Fishbites products. I also like to use weedless spoons this time of year due to the vegetation and because they can be cast far and easy to use. Biscayne Bay baits for this time are still the standard staple; shrimp and crabs. Bring a shiny plug for the barracuda. And some sharp hooks and split shot for the flats.
