Local Islamorada Fishing Reports

This week in the Florida Keys the wind has been howling, although, the fishing has been surprisingly good.

Sailfish are moving through better and better every day, and the tunas are still thick as can be on the offshore humps and wrecks. Believe it or not, there are still some dolphin around. Maybe they will stay consistent all year…wouldn’t that be great? I am not going to hold my breath, but it would be nice.

There’s plenty of action on the reef as well, with the snappers and groupers extremely happy all up and down the line. Kingfish have been a lot of fun too, with several showing up in your slick, and loaded up pretty good on the wrecks and deeper ledges.

The weekend is looking better, from a weather standpoint, so at least some of the smaller boats should be able to make it out. You have a lot of options this weekend as pretty much everything is here and is biting. We are even starting to see some cobia starting to come through in the upper and middle Keys. It appears that it is shaping up to be a fun winter.
