Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
Thanksgiving has come and gone and we hope everyone had a great holiday. It has been a tough one for the Bud n' Mary's family as we had a very unexpected loss. Capt. Ken Cohan and his wife Jayanna were killed in an automobile accident a couple weeks ago. They were a wonderful couple who had been in the Keys for many decades. Capt. Ken had fished here since he was a kid and his wife Jayanna worked at many resturants including former Papa Joes next door for many years. They were very kind, loving people and everyone who knew them misses them greatly. There is a celebration of life planned for December 3rd please contact Bud n' Mary's for more info if your interested in coming.
Fishing has been good lately in the Islamorada area, I myself have been out of town the last week though just got back this morning. We had a good cold front several days ago that dropped the water temperatures down in the everglades. The fish seem to have adjust already since we've already had a couple other good fronts. Capt. Skip Nielsen reported good fishing back at cape sable as well as around flamingo. He had some excellent snook fishing with good numbers of fish, plus some redfish, black drum, and sheepshead. He said the water was a chilly 62 degrees. The negative tides have stacked the fish up in many of the channel run-offs and island moat areas on the low water. Capt. Bill Bassett reported some excellent mackerel fishing in the gulf he said it was almost too good a couple days. With so many mackerel that they were biting at the knots when you hooked a fish. He also said they had some very large mangrove snappers during the last cold front around the nearby islands. Capt. Jeff Beeler had some good snook and redfish action the last week too, as did Capt. Jim Willcox. Capt. Jim has been running deep into the everglades and the fishing can be good back there this time of year plus you avoid much of the boat traffic. Capt. Mike Venezia has also had some good action with snook in the backcountry and mangrove snappers for table fare. Patch reef fishing has been pretty good too I've had reports of steady action with hogfish, porgy, grouper, cero mackerel, and snappers. It's plenty windy today and looks to be breezy starting this coming week. Though fishing is pretty good and if we continue to get cold weather fishing should continute to produce high levels of activity!
