Fishing Biscayne Bay (Virginia Key)
Jupiter to Miami: deep water comes close to shore, so piers and inlets see an unusual mix of inshore and pelagic fish. Biscayne Bay adds shallow flats right next to the city.
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: Snook, tarpon, jacks, snapper, Spanish mackerel, bonefish (Biscayne Bay) and sailfish offshore.
Also caught here: jack crevalle, mangrove snapper, ladyfish, great barracuda, permit, bonefish.
Shallow flats fish best on a rising tide that pushes fish up to feed. Move slowly, wear polarized glasses and look for tailing fish or nervous water. Cast ahead of fish, not on top of them.

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
