Biscayne Fishing Report – Catch & Releas

Solid spring conditions offshore with light wind early, clean green-to-blue water transition, and good visibility pushing along the structure lines. Current was steady, and there was plenty of bait holding over hard bottom and roaming edges — exactly the kind of setup where you stay ready for anything. While working the grounds, we ran into a surprise cobia that showed up out of nowhere and committed hard. Clean eat, strong fight, and a great finish at the boat. Fish like that always remind you to stay locked in even when you’re targeting something else. Along with the cobia action, the water had life all around — rays moving, bait schools pushing through, and steady signs of activity that kept the rods ready the entire time. Not a typical day, but a very “South Florida spring” kind of trip — you never know when a quality fish is going to show up.

May keeps producing offshore out of Biscayne. We had slick conditions early with light wind, clean blue water, and plenty of bait scattered along the weed lines. The ocean looked right from the second we cleared the inlet. The mahi bite stayed consistent throughout the morning. We covered ground, worked a few productive patches, and stayed tight on fish most of the trip. One colorful mahi made a strong run before hitting the deck and ending up in the box for dinner and a solid photo at the dock. We also ran into some blackfin tuna activity while pushing offshore, with a few fish busting on the surface around the current edges. Overall, a fun day with steady action and good conditions all around. This spring offshore bite has been lining up perfectly lately — clean water, good current, and mahi showing up where they should.

Another solid day offshore out of Biscayne Bay. Conditions lined up perfectly with clean blue water pushing in, light southeast winds early, and steady current along the weed lines. The ocean had that perfect springtime look — birds working, bait stacked up, and mahi flying through the spread. The mahi bite stayed hot all trip long. We found active fish along floating debris and current rips, keeping the crew tight on the rods from start to finish. The highlight of the day was a quality gaffer mahi that hit hard and put on a show before coming over the rail for the dock shot. It wasn’t just mahi either. The reef and offshore grounds were loaded with action. Throughout the day we also got into: Blackfin tuna Kingfish Bonita Barracuda Mutton snapper Yellowtail snapper Cero mackerel A few bigger fish made appearances too, including smoker kings and a couple mystery fish that absolutely dumped drag before finding freedom. That’s what makes May fishing out of Biscayne so good right now — every pass has a chance at something big. Overall, exactly the kind of day you want offshore in South Florida: blue water, bent rods, and fresh mahi headed to the filet table. The spring bite is in full swing and only getting better from here.
