Despite recent heavy winds in Key West, inshore fishing has been exceptionally productive. Anglers are experiencing abundant catches of various snapper species, including mutton, lane, and yellowtail snappers. Additionally, there’s been plenty of action with sharks, barracudas, and mackerels, providing thrilling rod-bending experiences. The current weather in Key West features mostly cloudy skies with temperatures around 77°F. The forecast for the upcoming days indicates pleasant conditions, with highs in the low 80s°F and lows in the mid-70s Despite the windy conditions, inshore waters have remained fishable, allowing anglers to enjoy excellent fishing opportunities. The presence of various snapper species such as the highly sought after mutton snapper , we've also filled coolers with mangrove yellowtail and lane snappers as well along with sharks, barracudas, and mackerels, has contributed to the dynamic and rewarding fishing experiences in the area. For those planning to fish in the coming days, it’s advisable to monitor weather updates as winter time conditions here in the tropics do change frequently and are sporadic

Fishing has been good but the high winds have kept us mostly inshore. Inshore the sea trout, spanish mackerel and snapper bite has been good. When we've been able to get off shore kingfish and bonitas have kept us busy. The sailfish are here and the bite will continue to improve as we get more cold fronts coming through.

Bobby Brown with Sundance Sportfishing Florida Keys Marathon, Florida Reported: 1 year ago

End of the Year brings great fishing on the Reefs, last of the Mahi and still Wahoo. Sailfish have already been caught in Marathon, so sight casting to Sailfish surfing the waves is always a Blast!! Great size Grey (Mangrove) Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper and Large Muttons are showing up on the Reefs and wrecks. Amberjack are always a great battle on medium gear and a bonus catch while on the wrecks. We've had some windy days mixed in throughout the week, so plan on a back-up day, just in case, for a chance at a better day on the water. Dates are filling up quickly for our 2025 Sailfish Season, so be sure to book early!!

The sailfish are starting to bite, great king Fish, action and wahoo bite before, and after the full moon with the cooler weather, the reef fishing has been great as well cooler temperatures bringing these fish to the shallow reefs, as far as the Peacockbass, we are averaging over 40 fish per trip in the southern Everglades the bite is on fire, And the Inshore fishing in the Florida Keys has been great catching snow, tarpon, trout, redfish, and tons of jack gravel, mainly on the outgoing tide or the incoming tide, trying to catch some movement to produce a bite.
