1/11/13 January backcountry fishing Islamorada

Well the wind continued to howl from the east again today here on 1/11/13 however that didn't prevent us from making a good day of it!  January Islamorada Fishing has had a little bit of everything going on in the backcountry, however with the high wind and mudded up water, there are only so many realistic options.  Today we ran way back in the 'glades fishing cape sable.  The water near flamingo all the way to east cape look like choclate milk.  However once we got around past middle cape, the water was very pretty and clean up to northwest cape.  We caught the very start of the in-tide, first stop the bugs ate us alive so we moved quickly. Luckily as the sun came up they subsided.  Next stop we got into a little flurry of snook and redfish.  A few medium size ones mixed with some little guys, plus plenty of jacks and ladyfish.    We later hit some more structure, downed trees, run-offs, etc...  However not much luck aside from snapper, jacks, and ladyfish.  We moved back to another set of creeks and hit some nicer snook and redfish right off the bat, again a little flurry then it quitted down.  Moved further in but alas only jacks, ladyfish, and snapper for this time flats fishing islamorada.  Caught maybe a dozen or so snook and a dozen reds, plus 10 sheepshead.  Hit a few more high-tide snook spots on the way home, however not much luck fishing the pinfish.  A good backcountry mixed back for this january islamorada fishing report.  On the way home made a stop in a channel and caught about 20 trout, several nice slot size ones too.  Not a bad way to spend the day given the conditions!
