Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:41 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Miami

Miami fishing is defined by diversity: shallow flats in Biscayne Bay, urban canals, nearshore reefs, and the fast-moving Gulf Stream just a few miles offshore. Understanding how seasons, tides and water clarity affect each zone is the key to consistent action.

Seasonal patterns drive what most anglers target. Winter brings peak sailfish action along the edge of the reef in 100–250 feet of water; kite-fishing live goggle-eyes or pilchards off Government Cut and Haulover Inlet is the classic Miami approach. Cold fronts also push Spanish mackerel, kingfish and cobia close to the beach. Spring is transition time, with excellent blackfin tuna, mahi-mahi and king mackerel offshore and strong snook and tarpon bites around inlets and bridges at night. Summer is for early-morning bonefish, permit and tarpon on the flats, daytime reef and wreck snapper/grouper, and deep-drop swordfish in 1,200+ feet. Fall features mullet and pilchard migrations that light up the beaches, inlets and bay with tarpon, snook, jacks and sharks.

Inshore & bay tactics focus on Biscayne Bay’s grass flats, channels and mangrove shorelines. For bonefish, look to hard-bottom flats from Key Biscayne south; use small shrimp or crab patterns on light fluorocarbon leaders and cast well ahead of cruising fish. Permit roam slightly deeper flats and edges; 2–3 inch live crabs on a steady but subtle presentation draw strikes. Around bridges, causeways and channel edges, live shrimp or pilchards under a float or freelined near structure take mangrove snapper, jacks and snook. When visibility is high, downsize leaders to 20–25 lb fluorocarbon and use smaller hooks for more bites.

Nearshore reefs and wrecks off Miami are highly productive. Anchor on the up-current side of a reef in 60–120 feet and establish a steady chum slick for yellowtail and mutton snapper. Light spinning tackle with 15–20 lb braid, long fluorocarbon leaders and small jigs or knocker rigs works well. Deeper wrecks in 150–300 feet hold amberjack, grouper and big muttons; use heavy conventional outfits, 50–80 lb braid, and live pinfish or blue runners dropped to the bottom. A slow, controlled drop and immediate reeling a few cranks off the structure will reduce snags and cutoffs.

Offshore strategy is all about reading current, color changes and bird life along the Gulf Stream. For mahi-mahi, run and gun from weedline to weedline, pitching live baits or bucktail jigs to fish around floating debris and birds. In spring, drift or slow-troll live baits for blackfin tuna and sailfish along the 150–300 foot contour; keep a flatline out for opportunistic wahoo or kings. Nighttime swordfishing seaward of the Stream involves staggered baits at various depths and constant attention to line angles and drift speed.

Practical tips for Miami include fishing early and late to beat heat and boat traffic, matching leader size to water clarity, and always carrying sabiki rigs to catch fresh live bait around markers and channel buoys. Pay close attention to tide stages—many bridges and inlets fish best on the first couple hours of moving water, when bait and predators are most active.

The Best Fishing Spots around Miami

Government Cut

Miami’s deep-draft shipping channel is a year-round hotspot for tarpon, snook, jacks, and seasonal kingfish and mackerel, with winter and spring tides concentrating bait at the jetties and channel edges. Boat anglers drift live baits along the rip lines and drop-offs, while shore anglers target the rocks near South Pointe during moving water. It’s a prime bait-run corridor comparable to Haulover and rivals inlet fisheries in the Florida Keys when conditions line up.

Biscayne Bay

The expansive, shallow bay is famous for bonefish, permit, and tarpon on the flats, with seatrout, snapper, and barracuda around channels and grass edges; spring and early summer sight-fishing can be spectacular on clear, calm days. Boats and kayaks stalk tailing fish on sunrise tides while shoreline spots along causeways and parks provide action for snapper and jacks. Its flats rival storied waters in the Florida Keys but lie minutes from downtown.

Rickenbacker Causeway

Bridges and shoreline pull-offs along this scenic causeway provide access to Biscayne Bay currents that hold mangrove snapper, seatrout, jack crevalle, and seasonal mackerel; nighttime lights often spark feeding frenzies. The area fishes well on moving tides and is popular with waders and kayak anglers launching into nearby grass flats. It offers urban bay action comparable to Venetian Causeway and Julia Tuttle Causeway.

Bear Cut

The tidal pass between Virginia Key and Key Biscayne funnels bait and gamefish, with snook, tarpon, snapper, and barracuda common around channel edges and mangrove shorelines; spring and fall tides shine. Shore anglers work the hardbottom and mangrove points from Crandon and Virginia Key, while boats drift live baits through current seams. Its structure-and-current dynamic resembles productive cuts in the Upper Keys.

Oleta River

Flowing through mangrove-lined channels at the north end of Biscayne Bay, this brackish river holds snook, tarpon (juveniles), jack crevalle, and mangrove snapper, with summer rains and dusk tides often triggering strikes. Kayaks and small boats probe creeks and eddies, while shore anglers fish park access points and bridges. It fishes like other urban mangrove systems such as the Little River and New River in Broward.

Black Point Marina

A major launch into southern Biscayne Bay, Black Point offers shoreline and jetty access to mangrove snapper, jacks, and seasonal mackerel, while boats run to nearby reefs, channels, and flats for tarpon, sea trout, and bonefish. Early and late tides push bait around the basin and channel edges. It’s a gateway to productive grounds comparable to Homestead Bayfront Park and the northern Florida Keys.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Miami area

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 8 wharf(s) in this area.

United States Customs Service Miami Wharf - 0.60321544657km , Bimini Shipping Wharf and Slip - 2.33199129201km , Merrill - Stevens Dry Dock South Yard Wharf and Boat Basin - 2.37503913501km , Merrill - Stevens Dry Dock Main Yard Slip Number 3 Repair Wharf - 2.45581074166km , Hempstead Marine Wharf - 4.02747570097km , Florida Power and Light Company Miami Beach Wharf - 4.48590585333km , City of Miami Beach Causeway Island Wharf - 4.67571251682km , Biscayne Bay Pilots Association Wharf - 4.85206765705km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 4 beaches and bays in this area.
