Miami
The Giants of Biscayne
Minutes from the skyline, some of the biggest land-based sharks in America patrol the cuts and causeways — and you fish for them right from the sand.

Where We Fish
Two public shorelines, both fully legal.
These are the public shorelines we fish. Exactly where we set up on them depends on the tide, the wind, and where the bait is that night. Every spot is a place where shore-based shark fishing is fully legal, checked against current FWC and county rules before we rig a rod.
01
Haulover Park & Baker's Haulover Cut
A designated fishing shoreline inside a Miami-Dade county park, on a cut that moves half of north Biscayne Bay through a few hundred feet of channel twice a day. Deep water sits close to the sand here. Big fish follow the current, and the current comes to you.
- Access
- Designated fishing area, Haulover Park
- Water
- The cut drops deep within casting distance
- Window
- Moving tide, strongest after dark
02
Rickenbacker Causeway & Virginia Key
Bayside water that holds ocean-sized fish. Bulls and blacktips push along the causeway shorelines, and the fight plays out with the downtown skyline lit up across the bay.
- Access
- Public causeway and Virginia Key shoreline
- Backdrop
- Downtown Miami across the bay
- Species
- Bulls, blacktips, hammerheads in season
The Water
The Gulf Stream runs closer to shore here than almost anywhere in the United States.
Off most American coasts, blue water is a long boat ride away. Off Miami, the shelf is narrow and the warm current presses in tight — deep water, bait highways, and big migratory sharks within casting-plus-paddle distance of the sand.
That geography is why this works. We paddle a bait out past the sandbar, the current carries the scent, and fish most anglers only ever meet offshore turn up in the first trough — all within reach of the sand.
Straight Answer
“Isn't shark fishing banned on Miami Beach?”
The City of Miami Beach banned land-based shark fishing in 2026, and it never touches your trip: we don't fish Miami Beach. Haulover is a Miami-Dade county park and the Rickenbacker Causeway is City of Miami — different jurisdictions, both open, both checked against current rules before we rig a rod.
