Fishing near Florida City, FL

Florida City sits at the southern tip of the Florida mainland in Miami-Dade County, positioned between the Everglades and Biscayne Bay. That geography puts anglers within minutes of two completely different fisheries: the labyrinthine freshwater canals of the Everglades — including the Aerojet Canal and the C-111 system — and the seagrass flats, mangrove edges, and nearshore reefs of Biscayne Bay. Butterfly Peacock Bass in the canals and Tarpon on the saltwater flats are the marquee draws, but the range of species across both environments is unusually broad for a single location on the mainland.
