A Recap of Successful Fishing In Islamorada
We've got plenty of bait - good-sized shrimp at the marina and catchable pilchards around Islamorada. This time of year, getting bait is easy, making half the battle for a good fishing day already won. Our team fished the ocean side patches on the Atlantic side, small bits of coral reef in shallow waters from 10 to 30 feet. They caught a mix of fish like snappers (mangroves, and muttons), groupers, hogfish, and mackerel. The pilchards worked well for snappers and groupers, while hogfish preferred shrimp. Note that we can't keep hogfish this time of year. In a nutshell, with lots of bait options and a focus on ocean side patches, our anglers had a successful day, showing how different bait can attract different fish. The availability of bait continues to be a big plus for our fishing adventures.

Captain James put us on the fish for non stop action the entire trip! Great guy very friendly and personable. I will be back to fish with him again. šÆ
June 13, 2025
Capt. James was awesome! Booking was very easy. He was great with our 10 & 12yo boys explaining how to bait, cast & reel in very much a "big brother" like. This was our first fishing trip & fishing charter and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will definitely come back.

It was an amazing experience. Captain James was fantastic. We booked on very short notice, and he accommodated us without hesitation!
June 13, 2025
He performed exceptionally well in navigating away from adverse weather conditions, consistently catching fish throughout the entire day without pause. His precise knowledge of where to locate the fish proved accurate, and every prediction he made about our catch came to fruition. It was a fantastic experience with an outstanding captain who also happened to be a genuinely pleasant individual.
