Current Report
If you are able to time the
weather patterns to work in
your advantage Biscayne Bay
can be very productive
working grounds for all
your Bonefish chasing
needs. The key to your
success lies primarily on
water temperature. Bonefish
are most active in water
temperatures above 72
Degrees. During these winter
months cold fronts can drag
the bay water temperatures
below this critical
number and force the
Bonefish to refuge to deeper
warmer water. This is why
you will often see Bonefish
in large schools waking in
2-4 feet of water. So what
this means is if your
temperature gauge is
indicating colder water you
should move toward the edge
of
the flat and begin your
search. The majority of
Permit are still hanging out
on the offshore wreck
located outside Biscayne
Bay.
However, there are a few
lost schools hanging out on
the West side of the bay.
These are not out typical
spring time numbers but if
you are lucky to stumble
across one a quarter sized
crab will certainly entice
him to do a little drag
screaming action for ya like
my
buddy Blair often says on
his television show
Addictive Fishing. If its
Tarpon you are after you
should primarily turn your
focus
north ward to Government Cut
Canal. Most of the numbers
will be found in areas like
the cut due to deeper warmer
water and a
constant abundance of bait
fish so they dont have to
travel far for their meals.
Crabs, Mullet, and Pinfish,
and Pilchards are the
baits of choice for these
Jurassic creatures. Tarpon
can also be caught on Rapala
X-Raps in bright colors in
Flamingo and the
Everglades National Park. I
prefer the XR-12 size the
best
