Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
November is sailing by and you'd think it was still summer time here in the Florida Keys. We had some windy weather early in the month but the last couple days things got slicked out and the temperatures have yet to drop dramatically. Water temps are back up in the mid 80s and it definietly has a summer time feel still. The backcountry is in that transitional period so fishing is great some days and tough others. The other day we tarpon fished and saw more tarpon than I've seen in a while however they were just not interested in eating anything. We fished live and dead mullet, large ones and fingers which are plentiful back there right now. But no luck though we did catch some sharks and a 'mud marlin'. Though Perry Scuderi the other day did catch this juvenile tarpon fishing around the islands. Today we caught some snappers around the bay islands however it wasn't easy and it looks like we are getting some nasty water from a possible algae bloom. Out further to the west the mackerel fishing was reportedly very good today with a mix of ladyfish, jacks, and snappers out there too. Capt. Bill Bassett, Capt. Mike Bassett, Capt. Mike Venezia, Capt. John Johansen, Capt. Jim Willcox, and several others all had a big corporate group trip and reported good things out there. This fishing should get better and better as it cools off. Snook and redfish have been in the backcountry and around the cape sable area - that too has been fair some days very good, some days not. With the calm weather the water should clean up and hopefully improve some of the shorelines areas, however that too should get better as things cool off. There really is shots at just about anything right now until the weather changes significantly. Looks like next week is suppose to blow again though and cool down a little though not a whole lot. We will see what it brings!
