About This Spot
Cutter Bank, a shallow bar west of Islandia in Miami-Dade County, offers anglers a dynamic spot for catching snapper, jacks, barracuda, and occasional bonefish. Its mixed bottom composition of sand, grass, and scattered rock makes it ideal for light tackle fishing. With varying depths and water movement, fish hold along drop-offs and current seams throughout the day. This area is perfect for casting live shrimp, jigging soft plastics, or trolling small lures across the edges. It's a lesser-known gem for inshore and nearshore species just outside Biscayne Bay.
