12/29-30/2011 Hot Daytime Swordfishing Bite!
Friday, December 30, 2011 at 06:17PM The Daytime Swordfish bite has been on fire the last two days! We had Nick and Jamie out from Long Island, New York on the BNM yesterday and managed to catch 5 broadbill swordfish! The fish weren't huge, but a few were legal size and we kept a couple for dinner. Congrats to both of them on their first Swords. The Catch 22 had a great trip today catching 4 broadbills with a pair of keepers up to 85 lbs. They released the other 2 fish to fight another day. If you ever want to catch a swordfish there's no place more consistent than fishing in Islamorada! Book your Daytime Swordfishing Charter for next year soon. We use all conventional tackle and there's nothing like seeing a swordfish in the daytime.
On the Reef the last 2 days fishing has been decent. The Sailfishing has been a little tough, but there's been a few caught each day. The king mackerel bite is still really good though and most boats have been limiting out on them with fish in the 5 to 25 lb range. Yesterday there was quite a few nice cobias caught, but today most the cobias were on the short side. The boats that have been anchoring up and bottom fishing have been catching enough snapper for dinner and a couple boats today each had a grouper.

Bud N Marys is a great place to go and hangout, even if you are not into fishing that much.
I always like to pop down to the marina and see the delighted anglers showing of their catches.
And some of them are huge!! No wonder there are so many red faces to be seen
