Islamorada Sea Horse Off Shore Report

Sailfish season is in full swing down here. Lately Sailfish have been caught in isolated sections of the reef and have not poured through in vast numbers yet. Most charter boats have been catching them on daily outings. With each passing cold front more Sailfish appear along the Islamorada reefs Wrecks like the Eagle. The preferred baits have been live Ballyhoos, Pilchards, Sardines, Cigar Minnows, Blue Runners,Thread fin Herring, and Goggle Eyes. Fresh live baits like these will make a big difference when targeting Sailfish. Along with Sailfish the King Mackerel, Cero Mackerel, Cobia, and Black Fin Tunas have been caught regularly. On occasion some Mahi and Wahoo have caught along the edge of the Gulf Stream. Overall fishing has been good!
