FL Keys Islamorada and Key Largo Fishing Report
Permit fishing on fire in the upper keys. Strong and extremely high tides have caused the Permit to invade the FL Keys Backcountry and Oceanside flats from Islamorada to Key largo. Find a flat with strong current flow on a incoming tide and hang on! Live silver dollar crabs and large shrimp are the best bet but a heavily weighted crab fly is hard to beat in the hands of a skilled fly fisher.
Bonefishing has been a little tougher due to having too much water. The fish are still around but extremely hard to see. Tailing fish have been hard to find for me in the morning but once the sun lights up the water I've been able to find some mudding fish.Heck, tailers are fun to watch but tough to feed anyway! I'll take the mudders cause they like to EAT!!!
Snook and Redfishing has been good up in Flamingo with fish on the flats, channels and runoffs. Shrimp, pilchards, pinfish are great for the bait chuckers while almost any lure or fly presented correctly will get the bite for the sight fishers.
