What's Biting FLatlantic coast · Miami to Palm Beach
Southeast Florida
Biscayne Bay flats, the inlets, and the closest Gulf Stream to shore in the state. Sailfish, mahi, kingfish and wahoo run just outside the inlets; snook and tarpon stack up at the bridges.
Today's report (2026-11-11)
Redfish, spotted seatrout, and pompano are the top three species today. The new moon is pushing a strong feeding window, and the 2.3 foot tide swing will move bait and turn these fish on. Flounder harvest is closed statewide, so any flounder you catch must go back in the water.
Focus on the major solunar window from 12:17 PM to 2:17 PM or the morning minor from 6:47 AM to 7:47 AM. The high tide at 9:57 AM is a solid time to work the inlets and bay edges.
Watch the sky this afternoon. There is a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms between 1 PM and 4 PM, so get out early and be ready to head in if storms build.
Fish the incoming tide around Government Cut and Haulover Inlet for the best action.

Score blends the seasonal pattern for each species with moon, tide swing, wind and weather. 10 is as good as it gets. Days 4 to 7 are an outlook: the moon and tides are certain, the weather is not.
