About Biscayne Creek

Biscayne Creek is a protected inner corridor near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where a sand bottom holds 10 to 20 feet of water within the Southeast Region of Florida's Atlantic state waters. Common Snook peak from May through July, overlapping with Gray Snapper in June and July and Yellowtail Snapper from April through July, while Mutton Snapper run strongest from March through June. King Mackerel fill the winter window from January through March, and Crevalle Jack round out the species mix. Live bait drifting with live shrimp, live pilchards, or live mullet is the dominant approach for snook along the corridor, with bucktail jigs and swimbaits serving as a supporting option on the same stretch. Gray and Mutton Snapper respond to bottom fishing with cut bait, live pilchards, or squid across the 10- to 20-foot sand, and yellowtail come up to chumming and drift fishing with glass minnows and cut ballyhoo.
