12/25/11 Christmas Day Fishing in Islamorada Florida Keys!
DateSunday, December 25, 2011 at 06:33PM

Capt. John Johansen went out today with his friend Jimmy Conrad who has been islamorada fishing for fun with him the last few days in the florida keys backcountry. The past few afternoons they've done very well spanish mackerel fishing in the bays! Lots of spanish macks and bag limit of nice mangrove snappers for dinner. Look for these fish to stick around well through the period of fishing islamorada in january! They also caught some nice big blacktip sharks, pictured below is Capt. Johnsen with one fine specimen! This afternoon on 12/25/11 christmas day they bonefished close to home as the wind did howl a bit during the day. Jim caught this nice bonefish in the early evening to end his day of florida keys fishing! Stake up fishing was a good bet with the overcast and windy conditions. Stay tuned for more news about fishing in the keys and we'll have some great islamorada fishing reports this week as it is one our busiest weeks of the year! If your down here stop down by Bud n' Mary's and get out on the water it's about as nice of weather as you could ask for christmas week here in the keys!

12-23/24 Islamorada Offshore Fishing Report
DateSaturday, December 24, 2011 at 09:22PM

It's Christmas tomorrow but that didn't stop some people from getting out on the boat for their Islamorada Fishing Trip the last couple of days. Yesterday we had Mark out on the BNM for a daytime swordfishing charter. We fished last year on Christmas day but came up empty handed. We left early in the morning and ran out 2 hours and sent the first bait down 1500'. After 10 minutes we were hooked up, but the broadbill swordfish got off 1/2 way up. On the third drop Mark caught and released his first ever broadbill swordfish. A few hours later Mark was in the chair again and within 20 minutes put an 80# daytime sword in the boat. On the edge of the Reef today we had the Terry family out on the BNM and released 2 sailfish, kept our limit of kingfish, and also kept a decent mutton snapper for dinner. All of the other boats that reef fished did well too. The Man O War had 5 sailfish releases, the Sugaree had 3, the Kalex had 4 sails as well as a limit of kingfish and yellowtail snapper, the Cloud Nine had a sailfish release as well as a limit of kingfish, the Predator had a limit of kingfish, and the Relentless had a limit of kingfish as well as a handful of Mahi. The weather has been warm and it looks like Christmas week is going to be very nice. Call us at Bud N Mary's Marina and we can get you out for some exciting Florida Keys Fishing! 1 800 742 7945

12/23/11 Christmas fishing in the Islamorada Backcountry!
DateFriday, December 23, 2011 at 05:21PM

Fishing in the backcountry was red hot today for Capt. Vinnie Biondoletti on 12/23/11. Lots of nice snook and redfish, which will hopefully continue biting into our january islamorada fishing report trips. Ned Barnes along with his son Tripp and niece Lauren released lots of both. They fished around flamingo with very low water as you can see from some of the pictures. After the bite slowed we headed to the Gulf. Once there we caught lots of Spanish mackerel. The winds were down from what they have been about a ten knot breeze out of the east, which is a releif as the past several days have been 15-25 knot winds - very windy month of December! Christmas week fishing in the florida keys should be very nice as the temperature has been warm in the 70s and doesn't look like it will change much, so get out on the water if your down here!!!
