Seasonal changes ahead

In the interest of providing an accurate fishing report, I wanted to pass the information about what's going on in our paradise...For the past few weeks, the mahi bite has riddled the waters along the east coast of Florida as well as the lower Florida keys. Frustration sets in when you know the bite is "on" everywhere but your hometown fishing grounds! Recently, in the past few days, the mahi have officially shown up in islamorada...but not the typical schooling swarms, instead, small pods of bigger bulls and cows that seem to have been running somewhat independent of each other.

 

With that said, sometimes, I get excited during the change of season and all I can think about is catching a specific species upon its new arrival to the area. As a captain, it's easy to forget that it's not up to me and the customer is the boss when on the "Selfish!"

 

For this particular trip, I met my customer who introduced himself as Bill from Vermont. He knew me by reputation but that didn't stop him from vetting me in a thorough interview prior to booking his trip. He was a smart man to do so and I'd encourage anyone who's looking for a charter to do their homework! Bill was focused on one thing and one thing only...TUNA! Despite the recent mahi migration, he indicated that blackfin tuna was his target so after catching 7 1/2 blackfin tunas, the entire party was smiling! If you're wondering what that 1/2 of a fish was, welp we had a bit of a shark attack when reeling in the last tuna...haha!

FEEDING TIME!!

Always fun for the family to watch the fishies eat lunch in the Bass Pro Shops tank at The World Wide Sportsman !!!!!

Impromptu

Sometimes, there's nothing better than an impromptu fishing trip!
I made a new friend the other day...Jake came to me prior to his return to Long Island and explained how he had previously been on a charter while visiting Islamorada and was unhappy with the results. (Apparently, there may have been some misinterpretation or a breakdown in communication in the itinerary for the day so the trip kinda didn't go as expected- but all that is besides the point). Whatever the issue, I felt compelled to make every effort to correct Jake's perception of fishing in the keys before he left town. I didn't have a plan, nor did he have a trip with me booked, but I had just returned from my morning trip and had some time to kill before my next booking...so off we went! Jake and I winged it...we spent a couple hours hitting the patch reefs at a nearby location and were able to catch our limit of snapper, a few grouper that we released and some porgy! Jake only wanted to keep what he could eat, he was very happy and left town excited about fishing. Sometimes, it's the experience that matters the most…At Anglers Answer Sport Fishing, we pride ourselves in building relationships, not just putting customers on fish...

March Madness

Coming out of a sloppy February where cold fronts seem to be more often than not, March brings a whole new outlook of great fishing times! 

March 1^st is typically what most fishermen in the Florida Keys gauge the moving target that marks the beginning of dolphin (fish) season...well, that proves to be an accurate measurement of calendar as Anglers Answer Sport Fishing boarded its first Mahi of the season aboard the "Selfish"

The snap attack on the reef and patches has been stellar and loaded with a variety of snapper, grouper, porgy & hogfish! To book your next adventure on the rod, call Anglers Answer Sport Fishing NOW! 239-877-7875

February Fishing Report

February with crazy wind and frequent cold fronts… For some, that may discourage them due to the perception of rough seas...Not for anglers answer sportfishing!
And Islamorada, reading the wind is the best way to predict the condition of the water. We are usually able to finish most when do you days and lately the patch reefs have been on fire!!! From porgies to mutton snapper and yellowtail snapper, it's difficult to not be catching in a frenzy while fishing the patches!

This post is from a satisfied customer

Capt. Kevin delivered "Catching", not just "Fishing"!

Capt. Kevin Hennings delivered a great experience for my group when we booked with him for a half-day charter out of World Wide Sportsman in Islamorada, FL (mm 81.5 bayside).

We met at the dock at 7:30 am, and he was ready to go right away. As we left the dock he queried us about what kind of fishing we wanted to do (fish to eat, sportfishing, species specific, or just wanted to catch and release lots of fish). We wanted to catch a lot, maybe a few to eat - and he had the spot.

We spent the morning catching, keeping, releasing, catching more, releasing more, keeping some, repeat, repeat. The four of us on board didn't stop casting and catching until we pulled the anchor up and returned back to the marina.

I would recommend Capt. Kevin for both experienced anglers, and first-timers. If I'd had my kids on this trip, they would have had a blast as well.

 

December Report

Sorry for delay in posting but mixing in a holiday season with catching monsters proved to be a bit hectic!

Over the past couple weeks, we have covered fishing grounds from back country tarpon and King fishing in Florida Bay, all the way to wahoo fishing in Cay Sal! This crazy range of fishing only came after our Suzuki sponsorship outfitted us with 2016 twin 300hp 4 strokes and an added yeti 420 to keep our catch chilled for the cookin'!

Sometimes to read lengthy articles about multiple fishing trips could get boring...but I assure you, the month of December has been anything but! As an informational note, right now is a bit windy and a little rough on the chop but that is the toll to the gateway of some of the best fishing of the year! In one full day trip; a sailfish, mahi, wahoo, blackfin tuna, king mackerel and yellow tail snapper were landed on the "Selfish"...that, in comparison to the recent Cay Sal trip, falls short! If you are ever able to fish Cay Sal, I have one piece of advice: Do it!

In 2500' of water, the mahi have shoulders. High speed trolling for wahoo is beneficial at every depth, running from 70' to 1700' and the bigger the drop, the faster the troll! As if that wasn't exciting enough, there's always a deep drop reel waiting to be deployed...some of the best deep dropping in the world is in these waters and you can't leave without setting up for a few drops to put meat on the deck, if there's any room left!

Anglers Answer Sport Fishing is excited for the new year and look forward to spreading crazy fun to all of our customers...For you next adventure on the reel, contact us to make your next fishing memory!

FISHING OUTSIDE THE BOX!

With the season and fishery in Islamorada changing rapidly, there are some things to remember if you're going to be expecting a good catch in the Florida Keys… every fish in the water has a tail and just because you're familiar with the pelagic, that doesn't mean that particular species will limit itself to where you normally find it! 

This past week, fishing has been affected by a series of anomalies. To that extent, in one charter trip, I've caught tuna in 700' of water and decent 'lifter' dolphin in as shallow as 50' of water, just adjacent to yellow tail! While "live chumming," you can expect just about anything...

Besides the season or the time of year, there are other factors to take in to consideration... How much and what kind of bait is available and is being used, also whether live, dead or artificial bait, as well as, water temperatures and locations that are being fished. These are a few details that you will want to pay attention to if you expect to be cleaning fish at the end of the day!

For a detailed education, having a successful and great time bending the rod, book your next charter with Anglers Answer Sport Fishing! www.sportfishing.fish

Mako Fishing Funament!

We got a chance to participate in a tournament over the past weekend sponsored by Bass Pro Shops.  Given our home port in Islamorada at World Wide Sportsman and our relationship with Bass Pro, this was a good opportunity to compete against some great anglers! Catching bait was a challenge for everyone and with the mahi being scattered, it seemed the blackfin were a popular target! Our boat continued to lead the pack, holding our own with tuna on deck but the surprise came when a sailfish hit our feathers that were meant for a different target! Prior to seeing the sail dance, there were many different opinions as to what took our lure but we’ve been here before…knowing the difference of how a specific fish fights may save you from making epic error during a tournament! To learn more about this and other fishing topics, go to www.sportfishing.fish and to book your next fishing charter in the Florida keys, call 239-877-7875

When season splits, we catch fish!

We have come to the time of the year where we are "in between" seasons and offshore fishing becomes challenging. Chasing the elusive dolphin that are beginning to migrate and waiting patiently for other pelagics, such as king mackerel and sailfish, to make their way to our coastline becomes a tedious waiting game! The frustration of the aforementioned, coupled with battling daily thunderstorms, is discouraging to most charter boat captains. These times call for creative thinking and a skill set that requires specific equipment. If you're not a captain that possesses either these traits or equipment, mastering the deep drop is impossible!

At Anglers Answer Sport Fishing, we have catapulted our customers into a menu that very few have ordered from. Boating such white meat as yellow eye snapper, golden tile fish, grouper and the monster barrel fish has filled our fish box more times than we can count- even in this gap of season that skunk most boats! Our state of the art electric reels bring our customers into the modern age of technology where there is less "fishing" and more "catching!"

Give us a call and let Anglers Answer Sport Fishing broaden your horizon with putting meat on the deck from the finest of menus!
