February starts tomorrow and right now it feels like winter down here in the Keys. The last week we had the tail end of the winter weather from up north chill us down. We had several nights that got into the 50s plus some wind to boot. Though fishin

You can have some success catching grouper in my region by trolling lipped plugs in some of the deeper channels and holes around Tampa Bay as well as along some of the nearshore hard bottom areas but the majority of anglers who target these fish cha

The crate lakes out towards Camperdown are still fishing well for trout and salmon at present. Although we have had some seriously rough conditions the resident trout push right in close to the shore where they can find food stirred up in the cloudy

Many anglers have been aware of the tuna activity along the west of the coast and have been making the most of these fish again this week. There have been fish stretched from Portland and further west right across to offshore from Westernport and Inv

The autumn run of snapper and pinkies has been excellent in the bay. There has been fish caught all over the bay from Williamstown to Brighton through to Mordialloc and down to Mount Martha. The smaller school fish to 2kg or so have been prevalent a

The best snapper fishing in my region takes place around the new and full moons when the fish gather up to spawn. We’re talking yellowtail and mutton snapper and then as we get into the summer months the larger mangrove snapper will move in to

Inshore- Fishing inshore this week has been excellent for sheepshead black drum snook pompano jack crevelle & snapper. Shrimp on the bottom will produce lots of bites. Pilchards around structure will catch plenty of snook & jacks. Expect a lo

While not the same rush as the months of October and November Port Phillip has been producing a wave of snapper as they feed up and move out of the bay. There will continue to be some resident fish in the bay all year but good sized schools have bee

The fishing in October has started off red hot! With big schools of redfish starting to show up down south we decided to  load up the boat with some live bait  and head south to the chatem river area to get into some great redfish

While Western Port has been fishing well for good variety it seems a fair bulk of anglers out doing most of their snapper fishing have been out in Port Phillip so reports are less than normal. There have been decent reports of snapper coming from ar

Today was the last day fishing in Islamorada in June 2016 and a couple boats finished the month up with good catches! The past ten days the mahi bite was mediocre overall but it definitely improved for most of the fleet the last couple days. The boa

Westernport has been providing plenty of options during some of our nice Winter days with the ilaginous fish one of them. If conditions allow the offshore fishing for gummy and school sharks has been excellent while the gummy fishing inside the port

Inshore- Inlets right now are holding large breeder snook. Places like Jupiter Inlet St. Lucie Inlet and Fort Pierce Inlet are great places to start. Live pilchards croakers mullet and sardines are your best bet. Free line them around the rocks and h

Capt. Mike Anderson and Capt. Billy Nobles/Reel Animals Fishing Team Report January 3 2016 As is normally the case big speckled trout highlight the inshore fishing in late December and January. We started our trips this week with steady snook action

October is here and fall is in the air! We've had a little bit early start to fall here... even though the temperatures have only dropped slightly we've had a good bit of northeasterly winds which have started the fall bait migration. Tons o

I'm back from the little break I took in August... Lets start off with bait... its everywhere. The trick is finding good quality size bait, finding bait that is mostly pilchards, and not mixed in with smaller threadfins. Most of the

The weather has been breezy the last few days but we have kept the rods bent. All anglers pictured were first timers to Flamingo. Lots of small Snook and some slot Redfish. Tarpon were really tough in the windy conditions. Pilchards showed up and ma

For many of the famliy-based fishing over the holiday period piers can provide some fun for the kids and adults alike. At almost every local pier you can find fish like salmon pike trevally and mullet. Bait fishing on the piers can be effective but

The fishing this time of year gets a little different than the usual Flamingo fishing for me. I like to target the Mutton Snappers and big Yellow Jacks that roam the edge of the Biscayne Bay Flats. The key is to find schools of Pilchards load up you
