Blackfin Tuna

Islamorada Fishing

I had an amazing offshore fishing trip in Islamorada. We left the dock early in the morning and headed out to the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The weather was perfect, the sun was shining, and the sea was calm. It didn’t take long before we started getting bites. Caught some tuna and snapper during our offshore fishing trip!

Wahoo Fish

Fishing near the edge of the reef has been improving since the passing of a few cold fronts. Not very cool weather wise, however the fishing has been warming up. Plenty of Yellow Tail snapper in 90 feet of water near the Eagle Wreck. Kingfish, Black Fin Tunas, and Sailfish are showing up around other local wrecks too.  We have had good catches in these areas using live Ballyhoo, Pilchards, and Cigar Minos. Depending on conditions bump trolling, and kite fishing techniques have worked equally well.

Further offshore we have caught some lost Mahi and larger Black Fin Tunas at the Islamorada and 409 humps. Live bait or trolling has been producing plenty of rod bending action.

Greater Amberjack

The fishing is pretty good for this time of the year. While Mahi is still around, plenty of Jacks are swimming offshore and the tuna bite continues to produce with mixed sizes, be sure to book a trip with us to experience world-class fishing in Islamorada.
