Sailfish Fishing in Islamorada at Robbie's

The sailfish season has just begun and it looks like it is the start of one of the best ever.  With the strong conservation efforts made of the last 20 twenty years, the numbers of these beautiful and acrobatic jumpers have flourished in great numbers off the Florida coast.  Between catch and release as well as the use of circle hooks, the sail fishing off Islamorada is better than ever.   It is not uncommon to get a shot at over a dozen sailfish in a single day.

The Islamorada area has a unique way for catching sailfish. The reason is that the sailfish feed on ballyhoo here like nowhere else in the world.  The term we give to this is bait showering.  It is a very exciting way to target sailfish.  It is such an adrenaline rush to see over a thousand-baitfish running for their lives with several sailfish waiting to take advantage of a ballyhoo making a wrong turn.  There is no other fishing in the world that can give you such a great visual opportunity to see such great action.  In the last few years off Islamorada the number of ballyhoo on the outer reef are in larger numbers than ever. The reason is the lack of commercial ballyhoo boats targeting these baits in our area. This is such a huge benefit to the angler; it allows us to catch the live bait easier as well as gives us many more opportunities to see these cool bait showers.   Hurry up and book a charter so you don’t miss this opportunity to see this amazing spectacle happening.  We can arrange split charters or private charters for you. To book a private or split charter just call us at 305 664-8070 between 7:30 am to 7:30pm. You just might get lucky enough to catch a fish of a lifetime. Don’t forget your camera to help catch the moment
