Chasing Mahi Along Islamorada's Bluewater Edge
The mahi bite in Islamorada is heating up and delivering solid action offshore! Recent trips have brought in consistent catches of schoolies, with gaffers making a more frequent appearance as water temps stabilize around 82°F. Most fish are being found in the 600-900 ft depth range, especially near weedlines and floating debris—keep your eyes sharp for birds, especially frigates working solo. Trolling ballyhoo, squid, or small lures has been the go-to method early in the morning, while later in the day, switching to chunking near structure has paid off when the sun is high. Anglers using light tackle are enjoying nonstop action, especially when doubling back on floating weed patches or trolling the edges of color changes. The dolphin are chasing aggressively, often showing up in pairs or schools. For those running farther out, look for temperature breaks and bait activity just past the humps. Pilchards and live cigar minnows are excellent if you're looking to entice a bigger bull. While mahi have taken center stage, bonus catches of skipjack tuna and even a few scattered wahoo have added excitement to the day’s haul. Overall, it’s a great time to be offshore in Islamorada. With clear water, active weedlines, and plenty of mahi showing up, the next few weeks should continue to offer prime fishing conditions.

Islamorada Fishing
I had an amazing offshore fishing trip in Islamorada. We left the dock early in the morning and headed out to the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The weather was perfect, the sun was shining, and the sea was calm. It didn’t take long before we started getting bites. Caught some tuna and snapper during our offshore fishing trip!

Fun Family Trips - Islamorada Fishing Report
Fishing near the edge of the reef has been improving since the passing of a few cold fronts. Not very cool weather wise, however the fishing has been warming up. Plenty of Yellow Tail snapper in 90 feet of water near the Eagle Wreck. Kingfish, Black Fin Tunas, and Sailfish are showing up around other local wrecks too. We have had good catches in these areas using live Ballyhoo, Pilchards, and Cigar Minos. Depending on conditions bump trolling, and kite fishing techniques have worked equally well. Further offshore we have caught some lost Mahi and larger Black Fin Tunas at the Islamorada and 409 humps. Live bait or trolling has been producing plenty of rod bending action.
Islamorada Florida Fishing Report
The fishing is pretty good for this time of the year. While Mahi is still around, plenty of Jacks are swimming offshore and the tuna bite continues to produce with mixed sizes, be sure to book a trip with us to experience world-class fishing in Islamorada.

Unbelievable trip. Limited out on mahi. Captain Rick is a great guy and amazing with kids. My 14 year old met him when he was 3 and has shared the same passion ever since.

Great trip we came for Dolphin and we got Dolphin ! Captain Rick, mate Dave and Emerson did not disappoint! They all were fantastic! 5 stars , amazing experience and time . Highly recommended!!
July 22, 2025
This is our second year in a row with Captain Rick, and I am so excited to go next year! He is awesome, a lot to fun to talk to, and we had a great time. The first mates are fantastic and we caught a lot of fish thanks to them. My 13 year old daughter came with me, and she said I would drive 24 hours just to do this for 1 day, and that proves to me how much fun it is being on captain Rick's boat/ The Sea Horse.

Captain Rick and David were awesome! Son’s 16th birthday deep sea fishing trip was a success! Rough seas but was still a great time and caught quite a few meals! Thank you gentlemen for a great experience!
July 22, 2025
Captain Rick and his mate David were great and took good care of us. We did a half day and they knew how to find the fish. We caught a few good Mahi and they cleaned them up and filleted them so we can have a local restaurant cook it for us. Great conversation with Captain Rick as he was friendly and welcoming. My 15year old son had a blast as this was his birthday present and my 10 year old son also had a good time. Highly recommend Sea Horse Private Charters!

Captain Rick got us into the fish. Hit our limit on mahi mahi, and caught a few tuna. Dave was a great first mate.
