Daily Fish Report for Florida Keys

26 SEP 2024 · As of September 26, 2024, the Florida Keys are offering some fantastic fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Tides
The weather is looking great with clear skies and a gentle breeze out of the southeast at about 10 miles per hour. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at around 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM. Sunrise was at 7:14 AM, and sunset will be at 7:24 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a lot of action in both inshore and offshore waters. The yellowtail snapper bite on the reef has been excellent, particularly at depths of around 60 to 90 feet. You can expect about one out of five yellowtails to be keepers in the 60-foot range, while the deeper waters yield larger fish but fewer in number.
Mutton snappers are active inside 150 feet around Rex Ledges and sand flats, responding well to long leaders with live bait like balo and pinfish. Mangrove snappers are thriving in the backcountry, taking live pinfish and other live baits.
Tarpon fishing is picking up, with juvenile tarpon showing up in residential canals and following pilchards. Offshore, mahi-mahi were caught in the 2300-foot range, and while the wahoo bite has been slow, it’s expected to improve soon.
### Best Lures and Bait
For yellowtail snappers, heavy chumming is key, especially since there are fewer boats out this time of year. Use live bait like balo and pinfish for mutton and mangrove snappers. For tarpon, live pilchards and other small baitfish are effective.
Offshore, look for birds and organized weed lines when targeting mahi-mahi. For wahoo, high-speed and low-speed trolling can be effective, though the bite has been slow lately.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is around the Marathon Humps, where you can catch golden tilefish, snowy grouper, and even swordfish. The reef areas around 60 to 90 feet deep are great for yellowtail snappers, and the backcountry is ideal for mangrove snappers.
Another spot worth checking out is the residential canals for tarpon, especially where pilchards are abundant. For offshore fishing, areas around 18 miles out in waters over 700 feet deep have shown promise for mahi-mahi.
Overall, it's a great time to be fishing in the Florida Keys, with a variety of species active and plenty of opportunities to land some impressive catches.

25 SEP 2024 · As of September 25, 2024, the Florida Keys are offering ideal conditions for a memorable fishing trip. Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your day on the water.
**Weather Conditions:**
The morning is greeted with warm temperatures, ranging from the mid-70s to the mid-80s Fahrenheit. Expect a gentle breeze with wind speeds around 10-15 miles per hour, and a slight chance of scattered showers, but nothing to dampen your spirits.
**Water Conditions:**
The water level is normal, with a temperature of around 84 degrees Fahrenheit, perfect for a variety of fish species. The water clarity is good, making it easier to spot your targets.
**Best Fishing Spots:**
For today, focus on the offshore waters for species like marlin, wahoo, and sailfish. The marlin season is in full swing from March to October, with the best months being April to July.
**Recommended Bait and Tackle:**
- For marlin, use large lures or live bait such as bonito or tuna. Tackle should include heavy rods and reels with at least 50-pound test line.
- Wahoo are active from April to August, with June to August being the peak months. Use high-speed lures or rigged baits like ballyhoo.
- Sailfish are plentiful from January to August, with February to April being the best time. Live bait such as pilchards or blue runners work well, along with light to medium tackle.
**Fish Activity:**
Marlin are likely to be found in deeper waters, often around 100-200 feet deep, feeding on larger prey. Wahoo tend to stay in the upper water column, around 50-100 feet deep, and are known for their aggressive feeding behavior. Sailfish can be found near the surface, feeding on schools of baitfish.
**Local Tips:**
Captain Jeff Hagaman, an expert in southwest Florida waters, advises to look for sailfish near weed lines and current edges where baitfish congregate. For wahoo, try trolling at high speeds to mimic their natural prey.
**Best Times for Fishing:**
The best times to fish today are early morning and late afternoon. The early morning hours offer calm seas and active fish, while the late afternoon can see a surge in activity as the sun begins to set.
**Local Events and Regulations:**
Be aware of any local fishing tournaments and ensure you are within catch limits. Currently, there are no major closures, but always check with local authorities for any updates on fishing regulations.
With these conditions and tips, you’re set for an exciting day of fishing in the Florida Keys. Enjoy the beautiful waters and the thrill of reeling in your next big catch

24 SEP 2024 · As of September 24, 2024, the Florida Keys are gearing up for another exciting day of fishing, despite the approaching end of scallop season. Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing adventure.
### Weather Conditions
Today, expect partly cloudy skies with a high temperature of around 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle breeze of about 10 miles per hour. There is a slight chance of scattered showers, but nothing that should dampen your fishing plans.
### Water Conditions
The water level is normal, with a temperature of approximately 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The clarity is good, making it ideal for spotting fish.
### Best Fishing Spots
For those targeting inshore species, the mangrove shorelines and deeper cuts around the islands are hot spots. Here, you can find snook, mangrove snappers, and even some groupers. If you have access to a boat, head over to Hawk Channel, where you can look for bait schools and bird diving activity, indicating the presence of cobia, mahi-mahi, and kingfish.
### Bait and Tackle
For snook and mangrove snappers, live bait such as mullet or shrimp is highly effective. Use medium to heavy surf rods and consider adding a PVC pipe into the sand to secure your line. For offshore fishing, particularly for species like wahoo and mahi-mahi, use your depth finder to locate schools of bait. Live pilchards and crabs are excellent choices for these predatory fish.
### Fish Activity
Snook are particularly active during the incoming tide around the deeper cuts and mangrove islands. They are hard-fighting fish and can be caught using live bait or artificial lures. Cobia tend to follow large rays and turtles, so keep an eye out for these indicators. Permit are active in the back country, especially around the flats and channels, and are attracted to live crabs skipped along the surface.
### Local Events and Regulations
Today marks the last day of scallop season, so if you're interested in scalloping, make sure to get out there before it closes. There are no major local events today, but always check the local fishing regulations for catch limits and any closures. For example, marlin season is still open until October, but the peak season has passed.
### Tips from Local Anglers
Captain Carlos Lima of CNC Aqua Adventures advises keeping an eye on the weather, as September is peak hurricane season. He recommends fishing around the new moon phase, which was a few days ago, for optimal current and fish activity. For those fishing in the back country, Captain Lima suggests targeting bonefish and permit during the early morning and late afternoon when they are most active.
### Best Times for Fishing
The best times for fishing today will be around the early morning and late afternoon, coinciding with the changing tides. For offshore fishing, the period around the full moon, which was on the 17th, still offers very high tides and strong currents, making it ideal for species like wahoo and mahi-mahi.
With these tips and conditions in mind, you're set for a fantastic day of fishing in the Florida Keys. Enjoy your time on the water and make the most of this transitional month that promises phenomenal fishing opportunities.

23 SEP 2024 · As of September 23, 2024, the Florida Keys are offering some of the most exciting fishing conditions of the season.
**Weather Conditions:**
The day is expected to be sunny with a high temperature of around 88°F (31°C) and a gentle breeze of about 10 mph. There is a slight chance of scattered showers, but overall, it should be a beautiful day on the water.
**Water Conditions:**
The water level is normal, with a temperature ranging from 84°F to 86°F (29°C to 30°C), making it ideal for a variety of fish species. Water clarity is excellent, especially in the reef areas, which is perfect for spotting your targets.
**Best Fishing Spots:**
For those targeting yellowtail snapper, the reef areas at depths of 60 to 100 feet are highly recommended. Captain Joel Brandenburg of Ana Banana Fishing Charters suggests that while the quantity of yellowtails is better at around 60 feet, the quality and size improve significantly at depths of 90 feet and above. Use heavy chum to attract them, and expect about one out of five yellowtails to be keepers in the 50-60 foot range.
Mangrove snapper are thriving in the backcountry and on grass flats, particularly when using chunks of bait the size of your thumb on jig heads. This bait size helps to filter out the smaller snappers, allowing the larger ones to take the bait.
If you're after mutton snappers, head to areas inside 150 feet around Rex Ledges and Sand Flats, using long leaders and live bait like balo and pinfish.
**Bait and Tackle Recommendations:**
For yellowtail and mutton snappers, live bait such as balo and pinfish are highly effective. For mangrove snappers, chunks of bait on jig heads work well. When targeting black grouper, use live pinfish or any other available live bait.
**Fish Activity:**
Yellowtail snappers are active around the reef areas, feeding heavily on chum. Mangrove snappers are hitting larger baits in the backcountry and grass flats. Tarpon fishing is picking up, especially in residential canals, but they can be challenging to get to hit.
**Local Events and Regulations:**
Scallop season is still open until September 24th, so if you're interested in scalloping, now is the time. There are no major closures or restrictions currently in place, but always check local regulations for any updates on catch limits and size restrictions.
**Tips from Local Anglers:**
Captain Joel Brandenburg advises setting your hook on the "boom" rather than the initial "bump bump bump" when targeting mangrove snappers. This ensures you catch the larger fish that push the smaller ones out of the way.
**Best Times for Fishing:**
Early morning and late afternoon are typically the best times for fishing in the Florida Keys. These periods often coincide with the changing tides, which can stimulate fish activity.
With these conditions and tips, you're set for a fantastic day of fishing in the Florida Keys. Enjoy your time on the water and good luck
