Florida Fishing Reports

Miami and Key Biscayne – offshore - Fish around Late All week we were able to find Dolphin,today though the fishing slowed down. We were not out long enough to give it a good shot, but the boats that did stay out caught very little. The early week up to Friday was steady with Thursd more...

Upper Florida Keys & Islamorada - This week, 9/12, is why I fish in the keys. On Monday, I fished Andy Harman from the UK. He wanted to catch a Tarpon. We began the trip at 4:30 in the afternoon. We had a lot of action with rays, sharks cuda and big no-see-ems, but no silver guys. I more...
Capt. Izzy Donatiello - Islamorada

Report for Destin, Florida - Nearshore - What a week! The chamber of commerce needs to figure out how to patent the conditions we've had here. The winds have been light, the skies sunny, the big tourist crush is over so you can drive around easy and there is no one on the beach. Oh, and the more...
Capt. Larry Pentel - Destin

Report for Naples, Marco Island and the Ten Thousand Islands - Cooler Mornings The early bird gets the worm. That cliché couldn’t be truer when it comes to fishing in August. The afternoons have been unbearably hot so most of the guides including myself have been only running half-day trips in the morning. We more...
Capt. Matt Hoover - Marco Island

Fort Lauderdale, FL - Offshore - Great Fishing and Great Weather! Lots & lots of Bonitas! Quite a few kings are mixed in with them. We had quite a few Kings this week that were over 20lbs that we caught on live bait. A few big cudas are alos mixed in with the kings and Bonit more...
Capt. David Ide - Fort Lauderdale

Miami, Florida - Offshore - Did you notice a slight change in the weather this past week? Early in the morning the air was a little drier, and the temperature a degree cooler. You can bet the fish did, and it won’t be long before the fall migration of baitfish begins. Pilcha more...

Miami and Key Biscayne – offshore - RARE CATCH Saturday started off just like any other Saturday, chasing schools of Dolphin through the grass patches and catching a couple here and there. But for Capt. Neil Orange Jr. filling in for me so I could watch my kid’s football game there more...
Capt. Quinton Dieterle - Key Biscayne

Miami - Haulover to Fowey Light - 8/27/01 What a great Bahama trip. The weather was absolutely great. Flat calm seas made for a great crossing both ways. We fished up North on the first day and found some decent current. Wind was flowing with what little wind we had, which made more...
Capt. Dean Panos - Miami

Tampa Bay - Saltwater - Redfish, snook, Spanish mackeral, lots of trout and even some tarpon. This past week has been a fairly good one despite the heat. The early morning falling tides have made for some good snook fishing, not a lot of numbers but some of the snook we a more...
Capt. Matt Ercoli - Tampa Bay

Ponce Inlet to Mosquito Lagoon - In the Mosquito lagoon the reds are still bunched up but are real spooky. Make sure you try to approach them with stealth like fashion. When you get on a school do not push them for this will only drive the fish out of their pattern. Instead you can more...
