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.

It's that time of year where the water cools and the reef fishing starts to heat up. Plenty of healthy mutton snapper in the shallows along with mangroves and the occasional grouper with some too big to stop before getting you back in the reef. Also the cooler water means Sailfish. Winter time sailfishing is one of the most sought after fisheries during the winter months with multiple hookups and releases being pretty consistent.
