Detail of the Area and Lakes

Located immediately south of the Miami International Airport, the chain of artificial lakes known as the Miami Airport Lakes offer some of Florida’s best peacock bass fishing.

Anglers catch loads of 2 and 3-pound peacock bass here. Many more are much more significant. A former state record weighing over 9 pounds came from this chain of lakes in the early 90s, and trophy-sized peacock bass is still possible.

The five lakes that make up this chain from east to west are Blue Lagoon Lake, Red-Shouldered Hawk Lake, Red-tailed Hawk Lake, Lake Joanne, and Lake Mahar, not including the 100’s of miles of canals.

Blue Lagoon Lake is the most prominent and easily accessible of the chain of lakes.

Antonio Maceo Park provides a boat ramp on Blue Lagoon Lake (it’s the only ramp on the Airport Lakes), which is the primary access point. This lake is linked directly to Lake Mahar via the Tamiami Canal.

The waters of the Miami Airport Lakes are deep and clear, with great fishing structures to catch peacock bass. Try casting around docks, piers, rip-rap, and bulkheads along the miles of shoreline.

There are also ample opportunities to fish the Miami Airport Lakes from shore, though most access isn’t official and posted no fishing.

Businesses and apartment complexes occupy much of the shoreline, but numerous boardwalks, sidewalks, and parking lots provide access. The canals are many residential and single-family homes.
