Fishing Miami Beach
Miami Beach fronts Government Cut, the deep ship channel into Biscayne Bay, and the jetties there are one of the best-known tarpon and snook spots in the country — big fish holding in fast, clear water in the middle of a city. The beach itself gives up snook, jacks, and pompano, and Biscayne Bay behind it holds bonefish and permit on the flats. Blue water is a couple of miles off South Beach.
Target species
- Tarpon
- Snook
- Bonefish
- Sailfish
Local tip: Government Cut tarpon set up on the outgoing, especially through the summer shrimp and crab flows at night.
