Islamorada - Saltwater Fishing Report
What does a guy do with his first day off after 20 days straight out on the water in every condition imaginable? Usually it's time to take a nap, but the weather was so nice I couldn't resist taking my 8 year old son and my dad out for some deep dropping after school was over for my boy. We headed out in beautiful conditions too good to pass up and where rewarded with some awesome fishing. The first drop started off slow, but I could see the current and drift where perfect and soon enough they started biting. We started off in the 400 to 550 depths and caught a nice mix of blueline tiles, some nice yellow edge grouper, vermillion snapper and porgies. After a while I decided to head out deeper and we picked away at a few more tiles, a snowy, and this beautiful queen snapper. We didn't have much time out deep and I wanted to do some wahoo trolling so we left them biting and headed in. We didn't catch a wahoo that afternoon, but we have had several nice ones like this the last few weeks. It was a truly awesome day on the water spending time with my son and dad. I'm also including a picture of a really cool deepwater fish called a sickle pomfrett we caught on sunday.
