Islamorada Fishing Report


A record low for the month of March. Just my luck, but it didn't hurt the fishing. Mike and I caught a ton of fish. Trout, ladyfish, bluefish, big snook and Jewfish. The highlight of the trip had to be the 200 LB Lemon shark and the 150LB Bull Shark that Mike caught in the main channel into Snake Bite. We spent two days in the backcountry. The wind blew 25 to 30 on both days but still the fishing was great.

We went bonefishing on our last day with no luck. We saw a lot of bonefish but the water temp was 65 and they just weren't eating. The cudas on the flats wouldn't even eat a live pin fish.

The trip was a blast and Capt Steve Murray showed us a great time. If you're planning a trip to the area and need a guide I highly reccomend Steve Murray.
