Biscayne Bay: the water and what the app weighs
Biscayne Bay is one of the five South Florida waters Anglrithm reads, each fished differently. The shallow flats, the mangrove edge and the channels of Biscayne Bay and Card Sound, inside the barrier islands. This page sets out what the app weighs here, where its data is weakest, the inlets and built-in spots in the region and the fish scored at them. The hour and the score are in the app.
What the app weighs here
- The tide
- Local wind, light wind for sight fishing with the sun up
- Water clarity
- Daylight
The layers and inputs that matter most in this water, as the chart names them. Every one carries its source and its age in the app.
Where the data is weakest
Satellite water temperature on a 1 km grid is far too coarse for a single flat; on the flats the tide, the wind and the nearest stations carry more of the call.
The region is editorial, not a survey boundary: a spot near its edge is read from its own position, not from the region.
Inlets and passes
No inlet in the app's registry sits inside this water; runs are measured from the nearest, Angelfish Creek and Government Cut.
Built-in spots
- Biscayne Bay FlatsCutler to Featherbed. Bonefish and permit want sun, moving water, and wind under 15.
- Government Cut BridgesTarpon in the shadow lines on a hard outgoing. Fishable in almost any wind.
- Card SoundMangrove edges and the bridge. Snook, reds, and juvenile tarpon in the creeks.
Fish scored here
