  • Islamorada Fishing Forecast: Cooler Temps, Active Snook, Redfish, and Permit

    Islamorada Fishing Forecast: Cooler Temps, Active Snook, Redfish, and Permit
    Nov 23 2024
    As of November 23rd, the fishing scene in Islamorada, Florida, is looking promising, especially with the cooler temperatures setting in.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s, a welcome change from the recent heat. The tidal conditions are favorable, with a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM. These tidal shifts will help stir up the fish, making them more active.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:27 PM, giving you ample daylight to get out on the water.

    ### Fish Activity
    The backcountry of Islamorada is buzzing with activity. Snook and redfish are particularly active, with many anglers reporting successful catches in the mangrove areas and shallow waters. The cooler water temperatures have brought in new species, including permit, which can be found on the shallow patch reefs and isolated wrecks[2].

    ### Types of Fish Caught
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a variety of fish. Snook were abundant, with catches ranging from 14 to 27 inches. Redfish action is also strong, and there have been sightings of juvenile tarpon, although they are more hit-or-miss due to their sensitivity to changing conditions. Other catches include mangrove snapper, big jack crevalle, and even some barracuda and bull sharks[1][5].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For snook and redfish, using live bait such as shrimp, mullet, or pinfish is highly effective. Topwater lures and jigs also work well, especially during the warmer parts of the day when the sun is out. For permit, try using small crabs or shrimp on the shallow reefs. If you're targeting larger predators like barracuda and sharks, sight casting topwater lures can be exhilarating and productive[2].

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the backcountry around the mangrove islands, where the calm, crystal-clear waters are home to a variety of marine life. Another good spot is the patch reefs in the gulf, where you can find big spanish mackerel and other species like porgies, snappers, and hogfish[1][2].

    Overall, November is a great time to fish in Islamorada, with comfortable temperatures and a wide range of fish species to target. Make sure to take advantage of the morning trips when the waters are usually most productive, and don't hesitate to move to more protected areas if the winds pick up.

  • Islamorada Fishing Forecast: Snook, Redfish, and Bonefish Thriving in the Fall Season

    Islamorada Fishing Forecast: Snook, Redfish, and Bonefish Thriving in the Fall Season
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene in Islamorada, Florida, is looking promising, especially with the cooler weather setting in.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 70°F and a low of 60°F, making for comfortable fishing conditions. The sunrise is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:23 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 9:15 AM and a low tide at 3:15 PM, which is ideal for backcountry and flats fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    The recent cold fronts have pushed fish into the deeper channels, making for some epic days of fishing. Snook and redfish are abundant in the backcountry, and they have been biting well on both flies and live bait. Captains have reported catching decent numbers of these species, even on windy days, by fishing in more protected areas[1][2].

    Bonefish are also present around the flats in town, and sunny days with a bit of wind make them easier to spot and catch. Tarpon, though not as consistent, can still be found, especially in warmer weather. They can be anywhere from downtown Islamorada to the gulf, requiring patience and a full-day trip to locate them[2][4].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For snook and redfish, using shrimp on jigs or live bait has been highly effective, especially during the low winter tides. Fly fishing with artificial baits is also recommended, particularly in the No Motor Zones of the Everglades where fish get little to no pressure[2].

    For bonefish, sight casting with flies or spin gear is the way to go. Tarpon can be targeted with larger lures and bait, but it's crucial to be prepared for a full-day trip to increase your chances[2][4].

    ### Hot Spots
    - The backcountry areas of the Everglades are hot spots for snook and redfish. The protected channels and mangroves provide ideal habitats for these species.
    - The flats around Islamorada are great for bonefish, especially during sunny days with light wind.
    - For tarpon, areas around the local bridges and channels, as well as further back into the gulf, are worth exploring[1][2][4].

    Overall, November and early December are excellent times to fish in Islamorada, with comfortable weather and less crowded conditions making it an ideal period for anglers of all experience levels.

  • Islamorada Fishing Report: Snappers, Mackerel, and Bonefish Abound in Ideal Conditions

    Islamorada Fishing Report: Snappers, Mackerel, and Bonefish Abound in Ideal Conditions
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, the fishing scene in Islamorada, Florida, is looking excellent. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tides
    The weather is beautiful today, with clear skies and mild temperatures. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:27 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 9:51 AM and a low tide at 3:34 PM, making it ideal for both inshore and offshore fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw great action on the reefs. Anglers caught a variety of species, including big yellowtail snappers, mutton snappers, king mackerel, and even some dolphin. The reef edge has been particularly productive, with snappers and king mackerel biting consistently. Blackfin tuna and jacks have also been active, especially after the recent cold front.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For reef fishing, live bait such as shrimp and pilchards are working well. Jigs and spoons are also effective for catching king mackerel and snappers. If you're targeting tarpon, bonefish, or snook in the backcountry, fly fishing with shrimp patterns or using live bait like shrimp on jigs can be very productive.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Reef Edge**: This area has been great for snappers and king mackerel. The recent cold front has pushed these fish into more concentrated areas.
    - **Backcountry Channels**: For snook, redfish, and tarpon, the deeper channels in the backcountry are ideal, especially after cold fronts push them into these areas.

    ### Additional Tips
    The cold front that moved in recently has stimulated the sailfish, so keep an eye out for them. For those looking to catch table fare, the reefs in town are loaded with snappers and king mackerel. If you're after a challenge, bonefish on the flats are active, especially on sunny days with a bit of wind.

    Overall, conditions are good, and the fish are biting. Get out there and enjoy the beautiful weather and excellent fishing that Islamorada has to offer.
