Hello Again from the beautiful Florida Keys The weather In Islamorada has been in the 80s most days and low 70s at night, the water is finally beginning to warm up Since the last Islamorada Fishing report a lot has been going on. The backcountry fishing has been nothing less than fantastic– mainly the Snook fishing.We have been catching up to 19 per day ,the largest fish was a whopping 36 inch fish and weighed in at 14 pounds, not bad for 10 pound spin. We have been using live bait and just catchin ,catchin, catchin! Also mixed in are the redfish, sea Trout, and jacks–plenty of action . Sea Trout fishing has been excellent, catch your limit and a lot of large fish to boot.Redfish Still a little slow but improving. Spanish Mackerl have slowed down a little but it is expected as they move back out into the gulf of Mexico this time of year and migrate up the coast to the panhandle We did a 4 boat fish fry a few days ago and we caught more mangrove snapper than we could eat, they were that large. Bonefishing has been picking up with the warmer water temps and they are getting more active and we are seeing more large schools of fish but getting them to bite has been another thing as the temps get higher they should bite much better. Tarpon are around and just finicky, we fished for them this morning and caught 1 about 90 pounds and 3 sharks— first of the 06 season yeah! I also saw many fish traveling and rolling in the spot I was In. This means they should just get better and better from here on in. Got another tarpon trip tomorrow, once you catch a few it will be very hard to get a trip So make your plans now and get your reservation for the Silver King of a lifetime.
