October fishing report! 10-11-25 This past week the fishing was good I fished the FNLGA tournament out of Flamingo with my son James and friend Mike. We had a good start with 7 Redfish up to 24 1/2 inches. It took a while to get the rest of the species even though they weren’t giants. The numbers were good with a bunch of Snook several Tarpon Trou...

August/September are slow business months so I get to do lots of family and friends fishing. Having the Key Largo weekend home lets me get my fill of offshore action and dinner. I actually didn’t fish Flamingo for over a month; this has never happened in my 40 years of fishing there. There were a few things that made me not want to go floating gra...

OFFSHORE- Dolphin reports sound good this week; with a solid number of fish being caught in 800-1000' of water. Trolling small ballyhoo bonita strips and squid remains a very good way to go for the dolphin. Look for the dolphin to be on well formed weed lines around floating debris and on well defined current rips and color changes. Most of the dol...

OFFSHORE- Tough fishing continued offshore this week. Inside of 300' the water remains dirty with very little current. A few scattered dolphin out deep this week; with reports seeming to bounce from 800-1000' of water. The usual smaller trolling baits are the way to go for the dolphin; with bonita strips and squid being solid choices. Most of the d...

OFFSHORE- The new moon wahoo bite has been good this week with some good numbers around. The wahoo have been biting along the 120' ledge early in the mornin g and then sliding out to 250-400' of water as the sun gets up higher in the sky. A sea-witch and bonita strip behind the planer is a great way to go for the wahoo. The Nomad DTX minnow is also...

OFFSHORE- Fishing offshore was a bit slow this week; though it has been showing signs of improvement as the week goes on. Dolphin fishing has been good with some good catches coming in 200-300' of water and also outside of 1000' of water. The dolphin have been largely found around floating debris and along well formed current rips. Smaller baits (S...

OFFSHORE- Reports have been a bit slim this week. Those making it offshore have found a decent number of dolphin around. 600-800' of water seems to be a pretty good range for the dolphin. Trolling small ballyhoo bonita strips and squid has been the best bet for the dolphin. Wahoo action slowed way down; but still a handful of them around. Kingfish...

OFFSHORE- Wahoo fishing has remained good this week on the backside of the full moon. Trolling Nomad DTX Minnows in the 165 and 200 size has worked well for the wahoo in 130-300' of water. Hot Pink Mackerel Pink Lava and Wahooligan have all been great lure color choices for the DTX Minnows. Trolling planers with a sea-witch and bonita strip combo a...
