The waters off South Florida are some of the most productive in the world, making Miami International Boat Show a great time to enjoy them.
A matter of minutes from the show docks, anglers can find themselves locked in battle with chrome-bright kingfish or kite-fishing for sailfish in cobalt waters. Here’s an insider’s guide to the region’s top fishing destinations, each just right for today’s premium center consoles.
URBAN JEWELS
Government Cut - Miami’s Front Door
At dawn, when the downtown’s skyline shines a path of gold, many seasoned anglers will be seen drifting the deep edges of Government Cut. Government Cut is a big name in the urban fishing world. It has everything from bruiser grouper to smoker kings, especially during winter when the boat show comes to town. Fishing with live razorfish while the tide is changing works best for a trophy.
Biscayne Bay's Artificial Reefs
There are many man-made places just outside the show’s doorstep that are good fishing areas and where you can get good action. The Mercy and Jose Cuervo Reefs are underwater capitals for permit, cobia, and snappers that can provide an unforgettable experience on any outing.
OFFSHORE MONSTERS
The Marathon Humps – A Place for Big Fish
The Marathon Humps are what makes South Florida fishing great; a submerged mountain rising from the deep. Offshore, Blackfin tuna and other species are common catches. Miami Beach is a great place to fish and enjoy life. Because of the structure, this area makes a great natural feeding station for quality fish.
Jupiter Ledge - The Deep Sea Route
Jupiter Ledge's clear waterways allow for easy sight fishing and use of live bait. Pelagic species from Sailfish to Wahoo depend on this natural ledge-system which acts like a highway. Most days have multiple hook up when conditions are right.
INLET INTENSITY
St. Lucie Inlet Feeder
The meeting of the Indian River and Atlantic Ocean creates an environment which enables predator and prey to engage with their ancient behaviors. Today’s center consoles are perfect for operating the jetties, channels, and reefs vicinity.
Hillsboro Inlet Fishing
Local anglers from Pompano Beach consider Hillsboro Inlet a sure bet. Whether it’s summer snappers to winter sailfish, the inlet’s deep channel and nearby structure holds fish all year. So you can come here year-round.
THE WILD CARDS
Blue Water Casino at Islamorada Hump
If you to want to put your boat’s range and fishing skills to the test, chances are you won’t forget this action at the Islamorada Hump. Here, you will often find yellowfin tuna smashing poppers, blue marlin lurking below, and dolphin (mahi) paling the surface an electric blue and gold.
Key Biscayne Drop – Another Blue Water Express of Miami
A quick run from the boat show’s docks takes you to a sharp drop in the ocean floor which has created a natural receiving station. The sharp drop attracts sailfish and wahoo and is a great place for offshore fishermen.
LOCAL EXPERTISE
Fort Pierce Inlet - The Crown Jewel of the Treasure Coast
Used by the locals simply as “the Fort”, this inlet system is known as a steady producer of quality fish. From the jetties to the offshore reefs, this diverse fishery has something for every kind of angler.
Lake Worth Inlet - Palm Beach's Proving Ground
During the winter season, Lake Worth Inlet becomes an essential place for fishing with center consoles. The deep waters and sheltered fishing opportunities make this place a prime spot for serious anglers year-round.
