Florida Keys Fishing Reports

Islamorada Fishing Reports are still showing great results!  It's spring time here in the florida keys and that brings different fishing opportunities.  Tarpon fishing in Islamorada is on the picking up as we finally are without cold weather!  Local fish have been being caught around the bridges and local channels, as well as migrators in the backcountry which will soon be all over Florida Bay.  On some florida keys fishing trips we've been running in the backcountry, the redfish bite has been fair with some snook mixed in. Many of these fish are being caught on the flats, not so much in the winter time holes anymore though a handful may still be found there.  Great stuff for a florida keys fishing report!  A good mix of trout, ladyfish, pompano, jacks, and snappers can be found in the bays in the backcountry, as well as some muds locally near Islamorada. Gulf fishing is also an option on calmer days with falling tide - cobias, permit, goliath groupers, and tripletails.  A handful of mackerels around though not red hot.  Don't forget the big sharks if your looking for something to pull on!  On the offshore side,  sailfishing has slowed down, and a mixed bag on most islamorada fishing charters.  Some mahi and tuna around offshore with that fishing picking up as it gets warmer.  Great fishing on the reef too for snappers - yellowtail and muttons, and groupers which are closed now until May! Swordfishing can also be a good, lots of big fish in the spring, remember we catch them year round here fishing in the Florida Keys! 305-664-2461 or 1-800-742-7945

The Storm Fay

Well we got all the boats out of the marina today due to the approaching storm Fay.  It looks like we are going to get strong winds, possibly hurricane force.  Everybody is batting down the hatches and we're hoping for the best.  Everything should be fine, we'll let you know more after the storm.
