Biscayne Bay is a large expanse of water that is bounded by Key Biscayne to the north, Key Largo to the south, the mainland of south Miami-Dade county to the west and numerous flats and Keys to the east. The ecosystem lies within the water of Biscayne National Park. This unique geography allows us to fish out of the wind on most days when necessary.
Inshore look for birds and bait school. Lots of mixed bag of fish following them. Flats fishing will be tough this week with high water and overcast skies.
A breezy east to southeasterly flow will continue across the Atlantic and Gulf waters today and through the end of the week. This could create some hazardous marine conditons at times for small craft over the local waters. Later in the week, Hurricane Delta may bring some swells to the Gulf waters as it moves towards the northwest away from the region. .GULF STREAM HAZARDS...Cautionary level winds for small craft The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of Oct 06, 2020 at 1200 UTC... 6 nautical miles northeast of Fowey Rocks. 14 nautical miles east northeast of Port Everglades. 10 nautical miles east of Lake Worth. 12 nautical miles east of Jupiter Inlet.
