What bites on Goggle-Eye Reef

Structure in 17 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 Goggle-Eye Reef

In 17 ft, pay out about 105 ft of rode at 5:1 in calm water, or 147 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.
