Miami Fishing Reefs with GPS

Fishing in and around the Miami, Florida area can be fantastic. One of the best ways to give yourself the edge in catching your target fish species is to be able to find the hot spots where they will most likely be located. Just fishing at random may work every now and then, but there is nothing like pulling up to some hot GPS coordinates and finding the fish ready to eat.

The area up and down the Atlantic off of Miami is a fairly large area to cover, that is why it is a good idea to pick a few good numbers in a general area to fish. You can find several different wrecks and artificial reefs that have been known to hold abundant quantities of fish.

Artificial Reefs in Miami with GPS Coordinates:


See the following list of reef locations with latitude and longitude numbers. Some of the GPS number coordinates will be starting points since the artificial reef represents an area instead of just an isolated spot. The best thing to do is to use the GPS coordinates to find and start marking the reef on the bottom. Then, use your fishfinder and GPS unit to explore and mark other spots around your selected reef. The Miami, Florida and Dade County area is home to many fish filled wrecks and reefs for your saltwater fishing pleasure.
