We battled over 20 knots of wind offshore looking for a sailfish, but with the kite bite quiet, we shifted our focus to the edge of the reef. The move paid off with steady action, landing cobia, mackerel, a giant triggerfish, and a trophy-size yellowtail snapper. The reef fishing continues to improve each week with great variety and plenty of bites. Availability is open, so reach out to book your trip and enjoy some incredible Islamorada reef action.

Kite fished along the reef yesterday and had solid action throughout the day — caught a few mahi on the kite, hooked into a sailfish, and added a nice mutton snapper and a mackerel to the mix. Great variety and plenty of bites on the edge!

We dodged storms all morning but made the most of it, hooking and catching a sailfish before the weather chased us back in. Sometimes a little persistence pays off!
