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

Sparrow's Nest Party!

DateWednesday, June 4, 2008 at 11:39AM

We had a great time Saturday night (5/31/08) at The Sparrow's Nest!  It was our friend Micah Gardners birthday party, and he put on a great show for us!  Sparrow and the crew had recently redeveloped the part of the property behind our barn.  He moved his workshop inside and set up seating and cooking facilities, as well as a small stage for music performers and such!  Our night watchmen Mike Jolin had his art on display and his partner Suzanne was there to cook.  We also had our friend Diane from Outback Steakhouse as our bartender.  Micah Gardner performed with other local musicians Luke Ptomey and Alex (?).  Also Chris Miller and Jimmy Lozar from The Marlin 2 Revue did some songs!  The food was great and all in all about 50 people showed up in and out.  Here's some pictures of the setup and stage!

New directory of the National Hurricane Center fishes at Bud N' Mary's!

DateFriday, May 30, 2008 at 12:04PM

ISLAMORADA--Just before it was released, new National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read poses with one of two tarpon he caught and released May 27, 2008, off Islamorada in the Florida Keys. Taking a brief respite from speaking duties at hurricane preparedness events in the Keys, Read fished with Vic Gaspeny from Bud N' Mary's Fishing Marina. The tarpon were estimated to weigh 80 and 100 pounds respectively. It was the Read’s first-ever tarpon catch-and-release. Photo by Andy Newman/Florida Keys News Bureau

Hunt for the crownfish!

DateFriday, May 30, 2008 at 12:02PM

Bud N' Mary's helped some film producers with a little video they created a few months back.  A pengiun helps a beauty queen catch her 'crownfish.'  This was a production for Samsung.  We're the tackle shop the pengiun goes into... look familiar??

Bud N' Mary's a favorite of USA's Character Roadtrip?!

DateWednesday, May 28, 2008 at 03:04PM

I noticed this a while back when searching randomly through the internet.  Apparently Evan from USA Networks "Character Road Trip" says his favorite 'hidden gem' of America is Bud N' Mary's!  You've probably seen these guys if you watched USA network last year, they drive around the U.S. and find, you guessed it, crazy characters to feature on USA.  Pretty interesting, I'm sure they could find some characters here at Bud N' Mary's!  Unfortunately I'm not sure if they are still featured on USA, but I vote to bring 'em back!

This article, written by our friend John Brownlee, appeared in Saltwater Sportsman in 2007.  Great article featuring some captains from Bud N' Mary's, and of course owner/operator Capt. Richard Stanczyk.
