Miami, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
Fowey Rocks Offshore
Sailfish and more sailfish continue to push through. This week is no excemption with the coldest temperatures since January 2008 the bite should be Red Hot. This upcoming week the Mayors Cup is taking place and the sail count should be high. While Sailfishing anglers are continuing to get shots at descent Mahi-Mahi while either drifting and or flying kites. Further south there are good reports of King Mackerel up to 20 lbs while slow trolling or power drifting Ballyhoo. The reef fishing continues to be productive for Yellowtail Snapper as long as there is current. Grouper, and Mutton Snapper will make their showing near the bottom while yellowtailing. Live and cut baits such as Ballyhoo, and Speedos should do the trick.
