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.
