Structure in 13 ft on the South Florida reef tract usually holds: Mangrove snapper, Yellowtail snapper, Hogfish, Grunts, Cero mackerel. What is actually biting changes with the season, water temperature and tide — the day's plan for this reef has the bite window and what to target that day.
Anchoring on Bicentennial Park
In 13 ft, pay out about 85 ft of rode at 5:1 in calm water, or 119 ft at 7:1 when it's blowing. Drop the anchor up-drift of the structure by about the same distance and fall back onto it. Before you drop, kill the engine for 60 seconds and watch your GPS track — that's your real drift, and it beats any forecast.
