10/5/11 Islamorada Inshore Fishing Action!

 | By Seamus on 10/5/2011 6:48:36 PM | Views (71)

Well the wind was howling for most of the day today on 10/5/11 and it was fairly choppy in the bay.  Capt. Rick Stanczyk fished a half day this morning with Lori and we were after some edible fish and some rod bending action!  We ran the edges of the banks to avoid the chop, staying within 30 minutes from home, and the ride wasn't too bad with the strong 15mph east-northeast breeze.  We got into the mangrove snappers pretty good in one of the cuts in the backcountry, cutting some fresh pinfish in half was the trick to catching some of the nicer 11-12 inch keepers.  Lots of smaller jacks and stuff came up in the chum as well during our islamorada fishing.  After catching enough for dinner we moved on and found a big area of mud that was loaded with trout and ladyfish.  With the wind blowing as hard as it was, it was tough to tell where the fish were since all the water was fairly muddy, but we hit them right the first drift and repeated that a few times, drifting through the fish for 5 minutes or so before we would be out of them.  Live shrimp on jigs did the trick here, not any keeper trout but we did save some ladyfish for baits.  After that we headed back towards home and put the big rods out.  The blacktips were swarming we had 2 bite us off right away, so we switched to wire leader and ended up catching 3, no tarpon bites or any other large critter.  After that we headed home, have a few more days booked of florida keys fishing charters this week so stay tuned for more october florida keys fishing report!
