Miami Wrecks & Reefs
sailfish · mahi mahi · kingfish · mutton snapper
Miami's edge and its long line of sunk wrecks put deep water minutes from the inlet. Winter cold fronts push sailfish down the reef line; kite fishing the edge is the classic play. Mahi run the weed lines spring and summer.

kingfish · cobia · red snapper · mahi mahi
Nearshore reefs and the 8A / Pelican Flats bottom off Port Canaveral give a strong king mackerel and cobia fishery, with mahi and snapper further out. Spring cobia migration along the beach is a sight-fishing spectacle.
