Fall Fishing in South Florida: Inshore A
Fall Fishing in South Florida: Inshore A
October 24, 2025
Fall Fishing in South Florida: Inshore Action You Don’t Want to Miss There’s something special about fall in South Florida. The mornings are a little cooler, the skies are painted with golden sunrises, and for anglers, it’s one of the best times of the year to hit the water. The inshore bite is absolutely on fire right now — and if you love light-tackle fishing, this is your season to shine. Out in the finger channels, the action has been nonstop. Mutton snappers, groupers, mangrove snappers, and yellow jacks are stacking up and feeding aggressively. Every drop or cast feels like it could be the next big bite. The best part? The pilchards — our go-to baitfish — have been thick and easy to catch, which means less time searching for bait and more time fighting fish. Once you start live-chumming with those pilchards, get ready for a show. The mutton snappers have been doing cartwheels out of the water, practically racing each other to grab the next free meal. It’s an incredible sight — watching a hungry snapper launch itself after the very bait you just tossed. And it’s not just the main targets biting. In between the snappers and groupers, you’ll hook into all kinds of surprise catches — a mixed bag that keeps every trip exciting. The light tackle makes it even better, letting you feel every head shake and surge, turning each fight into an adventure. If you’ve been thinking about getting out for some inshore fishing in South Florida, now’s the time. The fish are feeding, the weather’s perfect, and the experience is unforgettable. At Big Scale Fishing Miami, we specialize in personalized inshore and offshore fishing charters that put you right where the action is. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or brand new to the sport, we’ll get you on the fish and make sure you have an awesome day on the water. Book your next trip today and come see for yourself why fall fishing in South Florida is something every angler should experience at least once.

Water was awesome and the fishing was incredible. For a couple people that get sea sick easily we kept in inshore, no one got sick and the fishing was still top of the line!

We were put on a lot of fish, it can be stormy and it was up to the day on storms getting us. Open water can be rough so we didn’t hit the open water much with wife and kid getting sea sick.

Dramamine. There were some decent swells and seasickness is a possibility. Sunscreen is also strongly advisable. I’m glad we did morning and not afternoon charter. It was getting really hot as we returned. There were ebbs and flows to the action, but our captain kept it lively and really mitigated the lulls.

If you’re looking for 4 full hours of fishing time, I recommend booking a 6 or 8 hour experience. It takes a bit of time to get out of the canals and to the fishing spot!

Evenings are great because the temperature out is not too hot and bigger fish are more likely to bite in the evening.

Yes! He is very informative whether you know anything about fishing or not. Informs you on how to hold the pole and line. Our weather forcast was not great, he took us to a place to still catch fish even with windy conditions. He really cares about his clients and makes sure you all have a great time!

Learn how to flip your bait. It pays off to be able to get your bait in some pretty tight spots. That's where the big ones are. You definitely don't want to be decorating the mangroves with hooks all day . Learn to flip!
