Florida Mullet Run Inlets & Beaches Guide
Inlet-by-inlet breakdown of the Atlantic migration corridor, from Mickler's Landing down to Miami Beach โ the choke points where predators pin the bait.

Inlets are choke points. Moving water funnels bait through a narrow gap, and gamefish stack up to ambush it. These are the corridor's highest-percentage stops, roughly north to south โ the same stations this site scores live on the home page.
Northeast Florida
- Mickler's Landing (Ponte Vedra) โ the site's priority beach; long, clean surf that loads up early in the season.
- Jacksonville Beach & Mayport โ pier and jetty structure at the St. Johns River mouth.
- St. Augustine Beach โ approachable surf with consistent early-season pods.
The Space Coast
- Ponce Inlet โ a legendary funnel where bait bottlenecks and predators wait.
- Cocoa Beach โ miles of wadeable surf; watch the bird activity.
- Sebastian Inlet โ one of the state's most famous snook and tarpon inlets during the run.
Treasure Coast & Southeast
- Fort Pierce Inlet โ strong current and deep cuts hold big predators.
- Jupiter Inlet โ clear water and a well-known tarpon corridor.
- Fort Lauderdale & Miami Beach โ the tail end of the run as pods push south later in fall.
How to read a spot in real time
Bait location changes daily. Use the live map and crowdsourced sightings on this site to see where pods are right now, then cross-check the opportunity score for wind, tide, and season before you commit to a drive. Falling tide near an inlet on a northeast wind is the classic setup.
