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

Stone crab season in Islamorada Florida Keys!
Monday, November 12, 2012 at 06:38PM Well as of October 15th it's been stone crab season in Islamorada all the way through May 15th next year! These guys have delicious claws which people all over love to feast on! If your a florida resident your allowed 5 traps to fish for stone crab in islamorada. You can buy the traps for many different retailers throughout the keys, including Dixie Aluminum. Simply fill the bottoms with concrete and bait them and you should be good to go! How to catch stone crab in the florida keys? Well you'll see lots of traps all throughout the bayside and oceanside, mostly commercial. This can give one a good idea where to set, but dont set crossing anybody elses line paths. Most people put their traps out in a straight line. Florida Keys Stone Crab can be in deeper water as well as in just a few feet, try different areas. For bait we mostly use fish carcasses as there are plenty of them in our line of work, though people also use chicken necks, pigs feet, or even cans of cat food with holes punched in them. When you catch stone crab in islamorada be careful as they are very strong and can do a number on your fingers. Your allowed to keep both claws if they measure out, 2 3/4 inch currently though double check each season. Islamorada stone crab claws are usually boiled for 7 minutes or so and served either hot or cold. Spicy mustard sauce goes great with them, horseradish with some mustard and mayo is a simple version. Good luck stone crab fishing!

Gray Taxidermy Mounts
Wednesday, October 3, 2012 at 07:19PM Some mount images from Gray Taxidermy... remember you can have all of your fish mounted through Gray Taxidermy via Bud n' Mary's Marina. They're a great way to remember that fish of a life time. Gray's mounts are some of the best in the business, we've used them for decades. The quality of workmanship will last a lifetime and you can always have them touched up if neccessary, if they are outside, etc... Another great thing is these replica mounts do not require the killing of fish, simply take a measurement and the fish can be released to be caught another day!
