17 NOV. 2024 · If you're planning to hit the waters of the Florida Keys today, here’s what you need to know:
First off, the weather is looking pretty good, despite the occasional windy days that come with the fall season. Air temperatures are holding steady around 75 degrees, making it a pleasant time to be out on the water. However, be prepared for some gusty winds, especially as cold fronts begin to roll through.
Sunrise today is at about 6:30 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM, giving you a full day to fish.
Tides are moderate, with a high tide expected around 10:00 AM and a low tide around 4:00 PM. These tides can stir up the flats and deep waters, making it an excellent time for fishing.
Yesterday saw some great action on the water. Offshore fishing has picked up, with reports of good catches of mahi-mahi. Inshore, anglers were successful in catching snook, tarpon, and a variety of snappers. The fall turnover in the waters has brought huge schools of baitfish, which in turn attract gamefish like snapper and grouper to the wrecks and reefs.
For offshore fishing, using lures like jigs and spoons can be effective for mahi-mahi. Inshore, live bait such as shrimp, mullet, and pinfish are working well for snook and tarpon. For the flats, try using soft plastics or fly fishing gear to target species like snapper and trout.
Some hot spots to consider include the wrecks and reefs around Key West, where the changing weather conditions are bringing in large schools of baitfish and gamefish. The backcountry areas are also producing well, especially for tarpon and snook.
Overall, it's a great time to be fishing in the Florida Keys, with plenty of action both inshore and offshore. Just keep an eye on the weather and be prepared for any changes that might come with the cold fronts. Happy fishing

15 NOV. 2024 · As of November 15, 2024, the Florida Keys are offering some of the best fishing conditions of the year. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Tides
The weather is cooling down, with temperatures finally dipping into the 60s, a welcome change from the recent heat. Expect partly cloudy skies with a gentle breeze out of the northeast.

### Fish Activity
Fish activity has been excellent, particularly in the backcountry areas of Islamorada and Key Largo. Snook and redfish are abundant, with many captains reporting shots at very nice-sized fish when the weather conditions are calm. Tarpon are still present around local bridges and channels, although their numbers are decreasing as the water cools.
### Types of Fish Caught
Yesterday, several captains reported catching significant numbers of snook, redfish, and even some large Spanish mackerel on bait balls in the Gulf. Bonefish, mangrove snappers, and hogfish were also caught in good numbers on the patches. Captains like Jim Willcox and Mike Bassett had productive days in the backcountry, targeting snook and redfish.
### Best Lures and Bait
For snook and redfish, live bait such as shrimp, mullet, or pinfish is highly effective. Artificial lures like soft plastics and jigs also work well, especially when the fish are active. For tarpon, fly fishing with streamers or using live bait like crabs or shrimp is recommended. When targeting bonefish, small jigs or flys that mimic shrimp or baitfish are ideal.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is the backcountry of Islamorada, where you can tuck away in protected areas even on windy days. The Gulf side of Key Largo is also producing big catches, especially around bait balls. For reef fishing, the shallows along Key Largo are filled with healthy mutton snappers and mangroves.
Overall, November is a great time to fish in the Florida Keys, with cooler weather and active fish making for an exciting and rewarding experience. Just be prepared for some windy days and changing weather conditions, and you'll be reeling in the catches in no time.

9 NOV. 2024 · If you're heading out to fish in the Florida Keys today, you're in for a treat. Here’s what you need to know:
**Weather and Tides:**
The weather is looking pleasant with moderate temperatures and light winds, making it a comfortable day for both inshore and offshore fishing. Sunrise was at around 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:30 PM. Tides are relatively calm, with a high tide at 10:34 AM and a low tide at 4:17 PM, which is ideal for inshore fishing as the moving water will attract more fish.
**Fish Activity:**
Yesterday saw a lot of action in the Keys. For inshore fishing, the yellowtail snapper bite on the reef was excellent, particularly at depths of around 90 feet where you can catch larger fish, though the quantity is better at 60 feet. Live bait like pinfish and ballyhoo worked well. Tarpon fishing is also picking up, with juvenile tarpon showing up in residential canals and following pilchards.
**Offshore Fishing:**
Offshore, anglers found blackfin tuna, amberjack, and dolphin (mahi-mahi) around 125 feet of water. Closer to shore, triggerfish, porgies, and snapper were abundant, with live shrimp being the preferred bait. Mahi-mahi were spotted 18 miles out, but the catch was better in areas with organized weed lines and bird activity.
**Best Lures and Bait:**
For inshore fishing, use live bait such as shrimp, pinfish, or ballyhoo. A popping cork with a 3-inch soft plastic lure like the Savage Gear Manic Shrimp is effective for trout, redfish, snook, and other species. Offshore, live shrimp and baitfish mimics are your best bet.
**Hot Spots:**
- **Rex Ledges:** Great for catching mutton snapper and other species inside 150 feet.
- **Marathon Humps:** Excellent for deep-dropping and catching snowy grouper, tile fish, and golden tile.
- **Residential Canals:** Ideal for tarpon fishing, especially where pilchards are present.
Remember to check the latest FWC regulations and practice catch-and-release fishing whenever possible. Enjoy your day on the water
