FISHING NORTH BISCAYNE BAY
With Capt. Alan Sherman
Fishing in North Biscayne Bay and Flamingo has been outstanding for some time now. Loads of mullet have been holding in North Biscayne Bay and attracting large sea trout, snook, tarpon, jack crevalles and barracuda’s. Schools of Spanish sardines and pilchards have been tough o stay with but having some of them in your live well has only increased your chances of having a great catch. Trout over 4 pounds have been feeding under the schools of mullet and snook are ambushing schools of mullet. Tarpon have been suspended on some of the grass flats and sucking down mullet whenever they feel like it. With calmer weather conditions already taking place early morning surface fishing with top water plugs becomes real interesting. With the mullet schools almost everywhere a surface lure cast long and worked back in a walk the dog retrieve has been getting a lot of attention. Chuggers that splash and gurgle have had the trout and a few snook going crazy. Big jack crevalles of 8 to 12 pounds have almost pulled the hooks out of surface lures. This will be the last weekend to keep a snook on the Atlantic side.
In Flamingo fishing the flats and outside beaches snook, redfish, sea trout and tarpon have kept us busy. Acres of finger mullet, glass minnows and pilchards have had all of these predators feeding sometimes right into the middle of the day. Tripletail and a few cobias have been active on the gulfside markers, buoys and wrecks.
Take advantage of the hot fishing that has been going on from both coasts before the summer heat sends the fishing into the summer doldrums.
