When I was much younger I fished south Florida semi-regularly. Haulover’s biggest detractor for me was usually the boat traffic from unqualified captains. That’s probably more to do with knowing ahead of time what was going on outside the pass and just not “doing that” at certain times. My only harrowing moments were in Jupiter and Boynton inlets. Boynton is TIGHT and that current absolutely rips out. You’ve got to time your departure and arrivals around the tides for sure.
