Miami - Saltwater Fishing Report
October is traditionally a transition month for most of the popular fish species that South Florida angler pursue. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. Some of the opportunities that available right now are swordfish offshore and yellowtail snapper and kingfish over the reefs. Dolphin or mahi mahi have also made a few guest appearances offshore on a few occasions.
On recent trips yellowtail snapper have provided us with the most consistent action. Most of the fish have been caught while fishing shallow reefs and wrecks in the 30'-70' ranges. The fish haven't been huge but they have been agressive especially when we've had a good current.
Another species that has provided a hot bite at times is the kingfish. Just like the yellowtail, most of the fish haven't been huge but on some days they have been aggresive. Some of these fish have been caught in deeper water and on baits fished deeper in the water column.
The good news is that as our weather patterns begin to change so will the fishing. Soon, cold fronts will begin to push more fish South in our direction sparking some of the best fishing of the year.
We'll that is pretty much it for now, but look for another report here very soon. We're expecting our first cold front of the season to blow through this weekend. Who knows, the action might fire up shortly. As always, let me know if you're ready to head out. The sooner you call the easier it will be to get the dates you need.
Till next time,

Miami Fishing Forecast:

Look for lots of spanish and cero mackerel to invade the shallow reefs in search of bait schools. These mackerel present an excellent opportunity to light tackle enthusiasts as well as fly fisherman.

Kingfish, Yellowtail, Spanish and Cero Mackerel
