About Bonefish Fishing in Miami, Florida
Bonefish thrive in shallow, tropical, and subtropical waters, typically on flats, sandbars, seagrass beds, and mangrove shorelines. Miami’s warm weather creates the ideal environment for bonefish. Here are more important things to keep in mind if you’re embarking on a bonefishing trip with us:
- Bonefish are most commonly found in waters 1-4 feet deep, making flats and shallows the best places to fish for them. Miami has extensive flats, mainly in Biscayne Bay, where bonefish gather.
- Bonefish are notoriously hard to spot due to their silver, reflective scales that help them blend into their surroundings.
- Bonefish are incredibly fast, reaching speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. Be prepared to battle it out!
- Bonefish are opportunistic feeders, primarily consuming small crustaceans like shrimp, crabs, and mollusks. Live bait works wonders for these fish.
- Release fishery is commonly practiced with bonefish because they are not commonly eaten. Because of their bony structure, bonefish are not typically consumed as food.
Florida Bonefishing Regulations
It’s always essential to keep regulations in mind. The Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission’s bonefish fishing regulations are as follows:
- Bonefish are most commonly found in waters 1-4 feet deep, making flats and shallows the best places to fish for them. Miami has extensive flats, mainly in Biscayne Bay, where bonefish gather.
- Bonefish are notoriously hard to spot due to their silver, reflective scales that help them blend into their surroundings.
- Bonefish are catch-and-release only. It is illegal to harvest or kill bonefish, which means all fish caught must be returned to the water.
- Anglers must have a valid Florida saltwater fishing license to fish for bonefish. Miami Inshore Fishing counts with valid fishing licenses.
- No size limits apply since no fish can be kept.
Where to catch bonefish in Miami?
One of the best locations to catch bonefish in Miami is Biscayne Bay. It has shallow flats ideal for sight fishing. They can also be found in Flaming Everglades National Park and areas in South Beach with shallow flats.
Biscayne Bay Bonefishing
Biscayne Bay is one of the top bonefishing spots in the world, located just off the coast of Miami. The bay’s clarity allows anglers to see bonefish “tailing” in shallow water as they hunt for food, providing an exciting sight-fishing experience. They count on the perfect ecosystem to thrive since the seagrass beds and sandy bottoms of Biscayne Bay are rich with crustaceans, a primary food source for bonefish.
Let’s go flats fishing at Biscayne Bay Charter and catch some Bonefish with Captain Alex!
