Flounder
While Miami Springs itself is inland, its proximity to Biscayne Bay makes it a reasonable base for targeting flounder. The key is understanding that you'll need to head east, towards the bay, to find them. Focus your attention on areas with sandy or muddy bottoms, particularly near bridges, docks, and channel edges. These flatfish are ambush predators, so they like to lie in wait for unsuspecting prey. Fall and winter are generally considered the best times to target flounder, as they migrate inshore. A Carolina rig with a live shrimp or mud minnow is a classic and effective presentation. For those without a boat, try fishing from the shorelines of the Rickenbacker Causeway or any of the public access points along the bay. Remember to use a slow, deliberate retrieve to keep your bait near the bottom where the flounder are lurking. Also, be aware of local size and bag limits, as regulations can change.
