Fishing Bahia Honda

Flats, channels and bridges between the islands. Tides are small but the current through the channels is strong, which is why bridge and channel fishing is so productive here.

What's biting now (Fall): Fall is prime time: the mullet run draws snook, tarpon, redfish and bluefish along the beaches and inlets, and big schools of redfish gather on the flats.

Commonly caught in this area: Bonefish, permit, tarpon, snapper, barracuda and grouper on the reefs.

Also caught here: mangrove snapper, great barracuda, gray triggerfish, grouper, jack crevalle, ladyfish.

Bridges and channels concentrate current, so fish hold on the up-current side of pilings and in the shadow line at night. Heavier tackle helps pull fish away from the structure.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
