Florida keys fishing report

[jweb]

Hey guys,
We are heading down tuesday to islamarada for Mini Season. We always fish on way down (FT.Lauderdale) . Last year was great we had over 100 lbs of dolphin and wahoo before we got past Miami.
I heard the Dolphin have been hard to come by lately. Anbody have any good news??\Thanks

The word I've had from Key Largo to Marathon is "sparse" at best. That's what I've heard and it may be different from others. Last week was flat calm but not many dolphin.

I'll be there for regular season as always

I will most likely be in the Keys August 13-16. What type of fishing would you suggest???

Its slow right now. If you can find the schools, you'll put together a good trip. but finding the schools is the hard part. luckily with east wind, the dolphin have been coming in closer. Blackfin bite on the humps has been alright, with 4-6 pounders airing out and eating small squid plugs if they are feeding good. stop by Holiday Isle in Islamorada and come see me on the Gold Reserve, we'll see if we cant put a good trip together for ya

There are dolphin around under man of war birds and debris, weedlines have been dead and they've been mostly throwbacks.
The tuna bite has been decent in the early morning, afternoon, and when it's cloudy. Most of the tuna have been real small.
And for swords, make sure you have an HMS permit!
