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.
Fishing Miramar Beach
Miramar Beach fronts open Gulf with no pass or inlet for miles, which makes it a surf fishery first: pompano and whiting in the trough, Spanish mackerel and ladyfish blitzing bait off the sand, and the occasional redfish cruising the first bar. The rare coastal dune lakes just east at Sandestin and Blue Mountain periodically break through to the Gulf, creating short-lived outflows that concentrate fish.
Target species
- Pompano
- Whiting
- Spanish mackerel
- Redfish
Local tip: Surf fishing here is about the trough and the wind — a light onshore breeze on a rising tide is the window.
