The past week brought extremely cold air to the south Florida area. Snook fishing slowed down a bit as water temperatures plummeted. Snook were being caught, along seawalls, docks, channels and on mud flats. Live shrimp and DOA 3” shrimp great baits to get the strike.
Big schools of jack’s presented non stop action for anglers. DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail, live baits and Rapala skitter walks all enticed jacks to strike. Bluefish, mackerel, drum, ladyfish, and snappers, also striking baits, creating rod bending action for anglers.
Tarpon fishing was great before the front, as the front pushed through the tarpon locked down in deep cuts and channels. Once in a while, you would get a strike using a live shrimp or a Doa Terror Eyz.
Well that is a fishing report for the past week. Hope you all enjoyed. Remember you cannot catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

Happy Holidays! Wishing you and your family a great Christmas. South Florida is finally getting some cooler weather getting anglers and fish in the holiday spirit.
Back bays and canals are great areas to target tarpon using live baits and Rapala twitch baits. Deep channels holding bigger fish. The high outgoing and first of incoming tide, great times to tango with the silver king.
Snook are being found in deep holes and along docks and sea walls. Live baits and DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail best baits to get the strike. Fat snook and tarpon snook have been mixed together, adding for a mixed bag for anglers.
The channel’s and deep holes have been areas to target schooling jacks ranging in size from 5 to 10 pounds. The jacks are aggressive striking Rapala skitter walks, creating awesome surface strikes. Mixed in with the jacks are croaker, drum, mackerel and ladyfish.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines!

Seasonable weather has finally returned to South Florida. Moderate temperature days have made for great fishing and clean water. Fun in the sun and drag screaming action.
Clean water has made tarpon fishing exciting as anglers can sight cast to fish along channels and docks. Live bait and DOA Terror Eyz excellent choices to entice strikes. Mangrove shorelines are holding juvenile tarpon on the high tides, live mullet or small Rapala twitch baits get the strike.
Big schools of jacks have shown up and they are hungry. Top water Rapala skitter walks have been the anglers favorite choice bait for explosive action. DOA C.A.L. 3" shad tail and live baits also get the strike. The jacks are ranging in size from 2 to 20 pounds.
Channels and deep holes are holding a plethora of species for anglers to hook up with. Mackerel, snook, snapper, drum, blue fish and sharks get the drag screaming. The clean water has made it fun for anglers witnessing the strike from the fish. Does not get any better. As the water temperatures drop the fishing will continue to thrive as migratory species call our local waters home, for the next few months.
Well that is the fishing report for the past week. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines.

December has arrived and the heat is still on. The warm weather is making it feel like spring time fishing. Bite is great but it would be nice to get the migratory fish pattern going.
Due to the warm waters and warm sunny days in South Florida the snook fishing is thriving. Snook are active along docks and seawalls. Live mullet and Rapala skitter walks creates massive strikes from the linesiders. Bridges and channels are holding bigger snook, DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail and live baits worked on the bottom will get the drag screaming.
Tarpon fishing continues to shine. Tarpon school up near deep passes and channels, willing to take live baits and DOA Terror Eyz. Tarpon can be seen rolling on the surface, allowing anglers to cast baits in their vicinity. The back bays and canals near mangrove shorelines are great areas to locate juvenile tarpon. Anglers are enjoying catching tarpon on live bait and DOA Terror Eyz. The average size of a tarpon are ranging from 5 to 50 pounds.
Anglers looking for a variety of species to target, can work channel edges, and rock piles, using jigs and live shrimp. Snapper, jacks, drum, croaker, mackerel and many other species have put a bend in the rod for anglers. A few small, cold fronts will really trigger the migratory pattern.
Well, that is the fishing report for the past week, hope you all enjoyed. Remember, you can’t catch them from the couch, so get out there and get hooked up. Tight lines!

The bite will be pure outrageous once it hits 78 degrees. Right after Ian it dropped to 78 and bite was insane and fish were concentrated. Temps are still up at 80 degrees at the moment and there are fish there… but you have to cover quite a few miles
