You don’t have to be a Ghostbuster to catch the “Grey Ghost of the Flats.” Just head out and experience the superb Bonefishing Biscayne Bay has in store. With Miami in its neighborhood and an abundant population of Bonefish all year, the bay is one of the best spots in Florida to chase these speedsters.
What to Expect
If Bonefish is your main reason for coming to the prolific flats of the bay, you’ll have plenty of honey holes to choose from. Sight fishing is the name of the game, as well as fly fishing, and you better believe you’re in for an adrenaline rush.
When you hook this silvery devil, it’ll peel the line more quickly than you can blink, so it’s important to act fast. The presentation of the bait is important, because Bonefish are easily spooked and will see you in the pristine water. Stealth is vital!
Live shrimp will get their attention, but if you’d like to catch one on the fly, there’s a variety of Bonefish flies you can try. This is where your charter guide can help you choose the best option. Some of the best spots to chase the biggest Bonefish of your fishing career are, of course, on the bay’s bountiful flats, as well as around Key Biscayne and in Biscayne National Park.
You can target these beauties any time of the year, but they’re usually most active in the spring and summer months, and from September–November. Local anglers recommend hitting the water on a windy day because the water movement will hide you and make it easier to sneak up on your prey.
What to Bring
If you’re fishing with a charter, the captain will sort out your licenses and national park permits, and they’ll also provide a reliable boat and solid fishing gear for you. You’ll need some food, drinks, sunscreen, as well as a couple of your best fishing buddies.
With the Miami skyline as your backdrop and plenty of brag-worthy fish swimming around, the Bonefishing Biscayne Bay offers is an adventure you’ll want to repeat every year!

Give yourself longer than half a day. There are many ways to fish (trolling, drifting, anchoring up, flat lining) not all fish are biting at the same time. So you want time to try out everything and catch as many fish as possible. If you can only do a half day, you may not be fully satisfied.

Do not try and plan in advance, make charter reservations when you get to Miami, weather is very hit or miss.

Don't expect to catch what you want. It is fishing. But the experiance is so wonderful and if you are coming from cold country in February it's a plus plus. Sunshine and water you can't go wrong.

Have realistic expectations about what you can get this time of year. Just be happy if you catch something. Sadly, thatโs my takeaway from a different outing than the one I just reviewed. Aaron and Michelle listened to what we wanted but also knew we just wanted to something. And they came though.

Itโs a great destination for fishing. Thereโs a lot of variety to catch and you donโt need to travel far from shore. Thereโs less time traveling and more time fishing.

We had booked a 4-Hour trip that worked out good for people that haven't really fished before. The people that love fishing should try the 6-hour
