Lately the snapper bite has been getting better and better both day and night. If you name a snapper out there that we commonly catch I guarantee you it has been more abundant this week than last, and you can expect the same verdict next...
The reef is definitely changing for the better as we speak! The kingfish are moving out, but being replaced by yellowtails, muttons and occasionally dolphin (mahi-mahi). The water temp is now up into the 70's (finally) which makes the snappers start to think about eating...
Bottom fishing, bottom fishing, bottom fishing! Every species that you tend to think about on the bottom is biting quite well right now. Porgies, groupers, lane snappers, vermillion snappers, mangrove snappers, etc. The only common bottom target that we shoot for that I haven't seen...
The last report I had given was unfortunately pretty grim. One thing I believe in strongly is being honest in my fishing reports. When its good, I let you know how good it is, and when its crummy, although it isn't as much fun for...
Finally, after a long drought of about 3 weeks the kingfish are biting again. We had a great run of them in early January, then they dried up do to dirty water. Today (Tuesday) they finally turned on again in prime form. In fact, the...
Now that the weather has finally warmed up and stabilized a bit the fishing has gotten back on track for us. As expected in the winter time, the patch reefs are very productive for yellowtails, mutton snappers, mangrove snappers and porgies. You will also find...
Now that the Holidays have past and the chaos has ended I would like to take some time to update everyone on the fishing in Islamorada! It's gotten very cold (relatively speaking) which has all but shut down the yellowtails and mangrove snappers. They are...
The past week was full of excitement on the reef! We had everything from sailfish, to snappers, to gail-force winds, all in one week! Just before the winds picked up the snapper bite was unbelievable. The yellowtails were chewing like crazy no matter where you...
The big talk on the reef this time of year is the mangrove snappers. I am happy to say that they are actually still biting fairly well! Typically speaking the bite shuts of after the full moon in August. Well, that was over a week...
Holy smokes, are the mangrove snappers ever biting! We are catching them day and night, on the surface, on the bottom and every other way you can imagine. Ten feet of water, 70 feet, coral bottom, wrecks, it just doesn't matter. We are getting them...
