    it's fishing

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    Had a great time fishing, even though the fish didn’t know it. the Capt. and mate worked hard and we fished for 8 hours and covered a tremendous amount of water and fished throughout the water column from surface to as deep as 400 feet. trolling, jigging, sight casting, live bait and deep drop baits. we did catch a few mahi, barracudas and some small tunas. We tried everything, but somedays it’s like that. I will be back to try again.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Blackfin Tuna

What's biting with On The Reel Charters in Islamorada

Cobia start to appear, sometimes in big schools. The mullet migration brings Sailfish close to the shore, along with the last of the Blackfin Tuna. This is also a great time for Trout and Redfish in the shallows.
