  • Fishing the Florida Keys: Mahi, Tarpon, and Snapper Awaiting Anglers
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene in the Florida Keys is looking promising. Here’s what you need to know:

    **Weather and Tides:**
    Today, expect partly cloudy skies with a high of 78°F and a low of 70°F. The winds are light, blowing at about 10 mph from the southeast. Tides are moderate, with the high tide at around 10:30 AM and the low tide at 4:30 PM.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:28 PM, giving you ample time for both morning and evening fishing trips.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw a lot of activity, especially in the backcountry and offshore areas. Anglers reported catching a good number of mahi-mahi, tarpon, and various species of snapper. The mahi-mahi were particularly active in the offshore waters, with several boats reporting catches of up to 20 pounds.

    **Types of Fish Caught:**
    - Mahi-mahi: Abundant in the offshore waters, especially around the humps and weed lines.
    - Tarpon: Active in the backcountry and near the bridges, particularly during the changing tides.
    - Snapper: Both yellowtail and mangrove snappers were caught in good numbers near the reefs and inshore structures.
    - Other catches included some cobia and jumbo jack crevalles.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For mahi-mahi, use brightly colored jigs or spoons, and live bait such as ballyhoo or pilchards. Tarpon are best targeted with live mullet or large jigs. For snappers, live shrimp or small jigs tipped with shrimp are highly effective.

    **Hot Spots:**
    - The humps and weed lines offshore are hot spots for mahi-mahi.
    - The backcountry areas around Islamorada and Key Largo are great for tarpon and snappers.
    - The reefs near Key West, especially the Western Dry Rocks, are producing good catches of snappers and other inshore species.

    Overall, the conditions are perfect for a productive day of fishing in the Florida Keys. Make sure to check the local fishing reports and adjust your strategy according to the tide and weather changes. Good luck out there

  • Fishing the Florida Keys: Mahi Mahi, Tarpon, and Snapper Abound
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, the fishing scene in the Florida Keys is looking promising. Here’s what you need to know:

    **Weather and Tides:**
    Today, expect partly cloudy skies with a high of 78°F and a low of 70°F. The winds are light, blowing at about 10 mph from the southeast. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 10:34 AM and a low tide at 4:17 PM. Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:29 PM.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Yesterday saw a good pickup in offshore fishing after a slower week. Mahi mahi have been biting well, with several catches reported in the deeper waters. Inshore, the backcountry and reef areas are producing a mix of species.

    **Catches:**
    Anglers reported catching mahi mahi, some decent-sized grouper, and a few snapper. In the backcountry, there were reports of tarpon, bonefish, and some larger jacks. The reef is yielding yellowtail snapper and a few mutton snapper.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For offshore, use lures like jigs and spoons to attract mahi mahi. Inshore, live bait such as shrimp and pilchards are working well for snapper and grouper. For tarpon and bonefish in the backcountry, try using small jigs or fly fishing with patterns that mimic small crustaceans.

    **Hot Spots:**
    One of the hot spots right now is the reef just off Key Largo, where the yellowtail snapper are plentiful. Another good spot is the backcountry around Islamorada, where the tarpon and bonefish are active.

    Overall, it’s a great day to get out on the water in the Florida Keys. With the right bait and lures, you should be able to catch a variety of species. Enjoy your fishing trip

  • Fishing Forecast for the Florida Keys: Perfect Weather, Ample Action Offshore and Inshore
    Nov 17 2024
    If you're planning to hit the waters of the Florida Keys today, here’s what you need to know:

    First off, the weather is looking pretty good, despite the occasional windy days that come with the fall season. Air temperatures are holding steady around 75 degrees, making it a pleasant time to be out on the water. However, be prepared for some gusty winds, especially as cold fronts begin to roll through.

    Sunrise today is at about 6:30 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM, giving you a full day to fish.

    Tides are moderate, with a high tide expected around 10:00 AM and a low tide around 4:00 PM. These tides can stir up the flats and deep waters, making it an excellent time for fishing.

    Yesterday saw some great action on the water. Offshore fishing has picked up, with reports of good catches of mahi-mahi. Inshore, anglers were successful in catching snook, tarpon, and a variety of snappers. The fall turnover in the waters has brought huge schools of baitfish, which in turn attract gamefish like snapper and grouper to the wrecks and reefs.

    For offshore fishing, using lures like jigs and spoons can be effective for mahi-mahi. Inshore, live bait such as shrimp, mullet, and pinfish are working well for snook and tarpon. For the flats, try using soft plastics or fly fishing gear to target species like snapper and trout.

    Some hot spots to consider include the wrecks and reefs around Key West, where the changing weather conditions are bringing in large schools of baitfish and gamefish. The backcountry areas are also producing well, especially for tarpon and snook.

    Overall, it's a great time to be fishing in the Florida Keys, with plenty of action both inshore and offshore. Just keep an eye on the weather and be prepared for any changes that might come with the cold fronts. Happy fishing
