Why Haulover
Why Haulover Is Perfect for Fishing Charter
Haulover Inlet provides the most efficient ocean access for fishing in the Miami Beach area. The reef system begins within a mile of the inlet, which means your fishing charter is on productive bottom within minutes of exiting the channel. Yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, and grouper hold on the reef year-round, while kingfish patrol the water column during season. For anglers who want to maximize time with hooks in the water rather than transiting, Haulover's position is unbeatable. The inlet also provides excellent tarpon fishing during the annual migration, when silver kings stack up in the channel.
