20 fishing spots · Florida
Broward County sits between Miami-Dade and Palm Beach and offers a unique mix of urban fishing and world-class offshore access. The inshore scene runs along the Intracoastal Waterway, with Snook holding tight to bridges, dock pilings, and mangrove edges from Deerfield Beach to Hallandale. The nearshore reefs just off Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach hold Yellowtail Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, and Mutton Snapper year-round, with Cobia and Kingfish making spring appearances on the reef lines. Offshore, the Gulf Stream sits just a few miles east — one of the closest Gulf Stream fisheries in Florida — bringing Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, and Sailfish within easy reach. Pompano Beach lives up to its name in winter and spring, with Florida Pompano showing on the surf and nearshore reefs in good numbers.
