Ocean Off Haulover Inlet To Government Cut
One of Miami’s best kept fishing secrets is the variety of fish that can be caught with live shrimp drifting 100 to 300 yard off the beaches from Haulover Inlet to Government Cut. This strip of coast produces hundreds of tarpon from 20 to 180 pounds every winter. If you needed more, the action with snapper, jacks, blue runners, bluefish, and spanish mackerel will keep angler young and old smiling for days. The best time is October through April.

Government Cut
During the winter this is tarpon central. There are three distinct areas that the tarpon tend to hang out in. The north side of the north jetty to as far north as 18th Street on Miami Beach. The south side of the south jetty out to the range markers. This area is in front of Fisher Island. Finally, the deep water of the main channel from the ferry boat landing on Fisher Island out to where the channel turns to the left when heading out to sea. Besides tarpon, there are also mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, yellowtail snapper, grouper, permit, Spanish mackerel, barracuda, and cobia that can be caught there.
