Fishing in Florida Bay

Experience the unparalleled inshore fishing adventures of Florida Bay, where crystal-clear waters and vast seagrass flats create an angler's paradise. This legendary estuary, nestled between the Everglades and the Florida Keys, offers year-round light-tackle action for both novice and experienced fishermen. The bay's labyrinth of mangrove islands and shallow channels teems with trophy-sized tarpon, permit, and bonefish during peak seasons, while redfish, snook, and sea trout provide consistent action throughout the year.

Florida Bay's unique ecosystem supports exceptional nearshore fishing just minutes from launch points. Venture slightly beyond the backcountry to find snapper, grouper, and jacks patrolling the adjacent reefs and wrecks. The region's family-friendly charters operate specialized shallow-water boats that navigate skinny creeks and expansive flats inaccessible to conventional vessels. All necessary gear, licenses, and expert guidance are provided, ensuring memorable outings where every cast brings the thrill of a potential new species.

From the summer tarpon migration to winter's redfish concentrations, Florida Bay delivers diverse opportunities across seasons. Its protected waters remain fishable even when offshore conditions deteriorate, guaranteeing productive expeditions regardless of weather patterns. Discover why this biodiverse haven remains a premier destination for sight-fishing enthusiasts and those seeking authentic Florida angling experiences.

Florida Bay Fishing Seasons

January
Snappers all around! Mangrove, Mutton, and Yellowtail Snapper make for good sport and an even better lunch after the trip.
 
February
Do Cobia, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, or Jack Crevalle sound like a challenge? Take a nearshore trip and catch one of these.
 
March
Barracuda and Sailfish are waiting offshore if you’re up for some big game fishing. Inshore trips can bring lots of Redfish and Spotted Seatrout.
 
April
The Silver King is back on the throne! Tarpon fishing is amazing, so don’t miss out! You can also catch some Bonefish and Permit on the way.
 
May
Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Swordfish are just what you need for some good trolling action. Book a full day trip if you’re after these trophies, because they won’t make it easy for you!
 
June
Tarpon and Snook are ruling the waters of Florida Bay. If you want to level up your game, try catching them on a fly.
 
July
Snapper, Bonito, Tarpon, and Permit can be caught even on a short fishing trip. You’ll be back at the marina with some tasty fish in the cooler before lunch. 
 
August
Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, and Wahoo are yours to catch...but not without a fight! If you’re up for some bottom fishing action, go after Gag Grouper.
 
September
Permit, Tarpon, and Bonefish can be found in the crystal clear water. Just look for a glistening reflection of the sun beneath the surface – these fish are like mirrors.
 
October
Go after Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, or Bonefish. It’s hard to pick just one, so take a longer trip and catch them all!
 
November
Kingfish and Spanish Mackerel are anglers’ favorites! Even if you’re a beginner, you have good chances of landing one.
 
December
Inshore fishing is as good as ever but don’t forget the offshore spots! Sailfish, Wahoo, and Yellowfin Tuna will give you amazing fishing action.
