Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
December fishing in islamorada is rolling on and the weather today was fabulous. The winds layed down somewhat yesterday after having a string of windy days out of the eastern quadrant. Luckily much of the backcountry is protected so it hasn't stopped us from getting out on the water, though there has been a little lull in business as the time between thanksgiving and christmas sometimes is just slow for us. But a few guides have been getting out every day and fishing has been decent overall. The florida keys winter backcountry fishing has been productive with a mix of redfish, snook, black drum, sheepshead, trout, and some othe stragglers. Most of the drum fishing has been really hot post-cold front, which we have already had several, and looks like Tuesday night things will cool down for several days. This should be really good conditions for the backcountry stuff. Capt. Vinnie Biondoletti today had a very nice large snook, plus they even got a 125 lb tarpon on his islamorada inshore fishing trip! Capt. Jim Willcox had good fishing back there several days ago as did Capt. Jeff Beeler - with a mix of drum, sheepshead, and snook. The gulf has been very lively too, the mackerel fishing has still been really good of course it hasn't always been pretty though as long as the winds aren't howling many of the smaller skiffs can even stick their nose out there. The half day trips have often revolved around the islamorada patch reefs, or getting around the local mangrove islands especially on windy days. Todays we had a good mixed bag of porgy, snapper, hogfish, bar jacks, and more. Capt. Bill Bassett reported very good patch fishing the last few times he was out. They found the big lane snappers and had a pile full for the cooler - very good eating and a treat for us! This next week as I said looks to cool down, which should be great for all the stuff we like to fish for this time of year. Give Bud n' Mary's a call we'd love to get you out on the water!
Capt. Rick Stanczyk
