About San Souci Reef

San Souci Reef is an artificial reef off Miami, Florida, within the Southeast Region of Florida's Atlantic state waters. The structure holds a mix of snapper and predators, with Mutton Snapper peaking April through June and Gray Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and Common Snook all peaking May through July, while Crevalle Jack also patrol the reef. Bottom fishing with live pilchards, cut bait, or squid works the reef for Gray and Mutton Snapper, and chumming with frozen chum blocks and glass minnows draws Yellowtail Snapper up off the structure. Snook respond to live bait drifting with live pilchards, live shrimp, or live mullet worked along the reef. From November through March, King Mackerel take over the cooler months, and slow trolling live goggle eyes, blue runners, or ballyhoo around the reef targets them.
