Scores conditions for each fish, not where they are or when a run starts. Water temperature is today’s reading applied to the whole week, so a cold front further out won’t show here until the water follows. Temperature ranges are rules of thumb for Florida inshore water; the snook range is from published research.
Fishing Haulover Inlet
Bakers Haulover Inlet is narrow, shallow at the mouth, and infamous for standing waves when an outgoing tide meets an east swell — it has its own following of people who watch boats attempt it. For anglers it is a genuinely excellent inlet: tarpon in the spring and summer, snook on the rocks, permit and kingfish just outside, and Haulover Park giving land-based access to both jetties.
Target species
- Tarpon
- Snook
- Permit
- Kingfish
Local tip: The outgoing against an east wind is when the inlet fishes best and boats it worst — fish it from the rocks.
