Best Nearshore Fishing Spots in Miami
Top spots where local captains target vermilion snapper and other nearshore species.
Haulover Inlet
Haulover Inlet is a major pass between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean known for its strong currents and concentrated fishing action. Tarpon, snook, bull sharks, goliath grouper, and kingfish stack up in the inlet on tidal changes. The adjacent beach is one of the top surf-fishing spots for snook in South Florida.
Key Biscayne Reef Line
The natural coral reef line running along the east side of Key Biscayne in 15-60 feet of water holds yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, grouper, and hogfish. The reef is just minutes from Crandon Park Marina, making it ideal for quick half-day reef fishing trips. Chumming the reef edges produces fast yellowtail action.
Fowey Rocks Lighthouse Reef
The reef surrounding the historic Fowey Rocks Lighthouse south of Key Biscayne is productive for yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, and kingfish. The deeper edges attract sailfish during winter months as they follow bait along the reef line. The lighthouse structure itself holds large barracuda, cobia, and goliath grouper.
Sunny Isles Artificial Reefs
Natural and artificial reef structures off Sunny Isles Beach in 40-90 feet of water produce kingfish, bonito, snapper, and grouper on bottom rigs and trolling. Several wrecks and deployed reef structures in this zone attract amberjack, almaco jack, and seasonal cobia. The proximity to the Gulf Stream brings in pelagic species year-round.
