  • "Fishing Forecast: Ideal Conditions Await in the Florida Keys"

    "Fishing Forecast: Ideal Conditions Await in the Florida Keys"
    Nov 23 2024
    November 23rd in the Florida Keys is shaping up to be a fantastic day for fishing, with several factors aligning in your favor.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with mild temperatures, a welcome change from the recent heat. Water temperatures have cooled down, which is ideal for many species. Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:28 PM. Tides are looking favorable, with a high tide at 9:17 AM and a low tide at 3:04 PM, providing good movement for both inshore and offshore fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    The backcountry is alive with activity. Snook and Redfish are biting well, especially in the calmer areas. Snook action is consistent, though it's rated as good to fair, depending on the day and conditions[1][3].
    Tarpon, while not as abundant as in the summer months, can still be found, particularly juvenile Tarpon up to about 20 pounds. However, they are sensitive to changing conditions, making them a bit hit or miss[1].

    Permit are active on the shallow patch reefs and isolated wrecks, offering a good bite on quality-sized fish. Cobia are also present, often found in small groups of two to five fish. The schools of big Jacks, including Yellow Jacks, are red hot and provide excellent action on light tackle[1].

    Offshore, Mahi Mahi are biting well, making it a good time for those looking to venture out into deeper waters[4].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For inshore fishing, live bait such as shrimp, pinfish, and mullet are highly effective for Snook, Redfish, and Tarpon. For Permit, use crabs or shrimp on the bottom. Topwater lures and jigs are great for targeting the aggressive schools of Jacks and Cobia[1][3].

    Offshore, lures like spoons and jigs work well for Mahi Mahi, but live bait such as ballyhoo or pilchards can also be very effective[4].

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best spots to try is the backcountry around the Mangrove Island shorelines. Here, you can find a mix of Snook, Redfish, and Tarpon, along with other species like Mangrove Snapper and Yellow Tail Snapper. The shallow patch reefs and isolated wrecks are also excellent for Permit and Cobia[1].

    For offshore fishing, head towards the deeper waters around the reef and wreck areas where Mahi Mahi and other pelagic species are active[4].

    Overall, the conditions are ideal for a productive and enjoyable day of fishing in the Florida Keys. Make sure to take advantage of the morning trips for the best results, especially if you're targeting species in the shallower waters.

    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

    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
