Sand Tiger Shark
Miami offers a unique opportunity to target sand tiger sharks in relatively shallow waters compared to other regions. Biscayne Bay and the nearshore Atlantic waters are prime hunting grounds. While present year-round, the cooler months from late fall through early spring often see increased activity closer to shore as the sharks follow baitfish migrations. Focus your efforts around reefs, wrecks, and areas with strong currents. A key to success is using fresh, oily bait like mackerel or bonito. Many anglers find success drifting these baits near the edges of channels or along the reef line. Be mindful of strong currents, especially near Government Cut and other inlets. Always check local regulations regarding shark fishing, including any restrictions on gear or catch-and-release practices. Remember that sand tigers are a protected species, so handle them with care if caught.
