florida keys, islamorada, key largo fishing report


Hello once again from the Sports fishing Capital of the world, Islamorada in the florida keys. With the snow falling up in the north, we have seen a increase in anglers that coming to Islamorada to get out of the snow and grab some warm Florida Keys fishing fun.
Fishing in Islamorada: With the calm seas, the bay boats have been out in the Atlantic for the Sail fish push. Just like tarpon, this is a fish of a life time and should be added to every anglers list. the bonefish are start to show up some to get warm on the flats too. On the patch reefs, Hogfish, Snapper, Grouper and Mackerel have been providing great rod bending action for the whole family. In the Gulf, the Mackerel bite is in full swing!
Fishing in Key Largo and the Everglades: Strong bite of redfish, spotted sea trout some snook and big sharks.
As a reminder, the spring tarpon migration is just around the corner, if you want to catch big tarpon this is the time to book you charter, we fish every day two times a day April-June.

islamorada fishing

Greeting once again from the "Sports Fishing Capital of the World" Islamorada and the Florida Keys. The fishing this time of the year has just been GREAT! Back in the Everglades National Park we have been catching large numbers of Red fish. On a average morning trip we are releasing 20 or more. We are also fight Bull and Lemon Sharks up to 250 Lbs. and the Spotted Sea Trout are still showing up in good numbers in the afternoon. Out in the Gulf the Spanish Mackerel bite has been hot. With Mack's up to 30" being caught. Out on the Patch Reefs were fighting Grouper, Yellow Tail, Hogfish, Mutton Snapper and more.
Last week I had a great time fishing my Anglers in the NASCAR Racers Invitational. Both my guys and I work our tails off to catch as many different fish as possible, it paid off in the end as our team took the first place honors, what a great day on the water.
As a reminder, We are starting to book for the Spring Tarpon Migration. Now is the time to make your plans to Catch Big 100 to 200 LB. Tarpon as we book up fast.
Till then, this Captain Ted Benbow asking you to "Keep it in the Shallow Grass" www.skinsandfinscharters.com 305-393-0363

Islamorada Fishing/Florida keys Fishing


Greeting once again from Islamorada/Florida keys "The Sports Fishing Capital of the World"
Everyone always ask me, Captain Ted went is one of the best time to come the Islamorada to fish? I always reply October-Mid December! The rates to stay here are lower, it's cooler out and the Hurricanes are gone. During this time the fish is great, Redfish, Snook and Spotted Seatrout provide a solid bite, and there are still some small Tarpon and large Sharks. The other day I fished a 4 boat trip for a half day out of Papa Joe's Marina and we caught over 200 Spotted Seatrout between 10 Anglers.
This weekend I will be fishing the "Take Stock in children Backcountry challenge" The largest combined Redfish and Trout wins this two day event. In previous years my Anglers have taken home first and third place, so we are hoping for more of the same. Stay tuned for an update, till then this is Captain Ted Benbow ask you to "Keep it in the Shallow Grass" www.skinsandfinscharters.com 305-393-0363
