Fishing in Islamorada is on fire this July, with a mix of offshore and inshore opportunities keeping anglers busy. Offshore, Mahi-Mahi are stealing the show. Schools are showing up consistently in 600–900 feet of water, especially under floating debris and weed lines. Most catches are in the 5–15 lb range, but some larger bulls have been landed by early risers running out past Alligator Reef. Trolling small feathers and rigged ballyhoo has been the key to getting hooked up. Back closer to shore, the reefs and wrecks are producing steady action for Mangrove and Yellowtail Snapper. These tasty fish are piling up on the patch reefs in 30–60 feet of water, especially around the morning and evening tides. Light tackle with chum and small live baits is the go-to strategy. Grouper are still in the mix too—just remember the size and bag limits. On the inshore scene, Tarpon are still hanging around the bridges and channels, especially early morning or after sunset. Live mullet or crabs drifted through the current is your best bet for a bite. Mixed in with them are some big Jack Crevalle and the occasional Snook, making for exciting battles around structure. With calm seas and warm temps, now’s a perfect time to book a trip and take advantage of everything Islamorada has to offer this summer.

We had an amazing trip with Captain Jason! We caught plenty of fish, and he was incredibly patient with my family, even with our beginner-level skills. He took the time to teach my children new techniques and shared valuable tips. I highly recommend booking a charter with him!

I've been fishing in the Keys for over 20 years, and Jason was outstanding. His knowledge and flexibility stood out as he worked hard to target the fish we were interested in. We ended up catching eight different species in just one afternoon! I highly recommend him!

We had an amazing trip with Captain Jason! The action started as soon as we dropped our lines, and he kept us baited and on the fish throughout the entire outing. We truly appreciated his expertise and patience!

We had an incredible family trip, and my two boys (ages 9 and 12) were thrilled to catch fish nonstop! They’re already asking to return to the Keys and book another trip with Captain Jason.

This was our second fishing trip with Captain Jason, and once again, he did not disappoint. We caught plenty of fish and were excited to bring our catch (boned and filleted by Jason) to Lazy Days for a fantastic meal. Ladies, Captain Jason will bait your hook and remove the fish for you, so your manicure stays intact. We had an amazing time today. Thank you, Captain Jason, we love you!!!

My wife and son had an incredible trip. They caught a variety of fish, including yellowtail snapper, grey snapper, mangrove snapper, and even a shark! They also had a memorable encounter with a group of dolphins, which was an added bonus. Captain Jason did an excellent job ensuring my son caught plenty of fish. I highly recommend this experience!
