8/27/11 Islamorada bonefish action today!

Capt Jim Willcox was chased back from Flamingo by T Storms today...& caught 4 islamorada bonefish oceanside, proof that there is always plan B in Islamorada!!!  Some nasty storm cells pushed through with the WNW wind and chased just about everybody back home.  After dodging the rain for a little bit at the dock, the conditions after the storm were great!  Very beautiful water around the bay and ocean sides, and look for some upcoming september fishing reports florida keys!

5/13/11 + 5/14/11 Some redfish action and some big monsters in the back!

Capt Jim Willcox on 5/13/11, over 100 redfish with Eric & Jack from west coast Florida plus a limit of large snappers! 27 double headers!!!The tarpon did elude us at the end of the day!  Also Capt. Rick Stanczyk fished today on 5/14/11 in the back... caught plenty of snappers for dinner, ladyfish, and some trout.  They put the big rods out in hopes of tarpon, saw plenty rolling but they weren't biting.  Did catch a nice blacktip, big 300 lb goliath grouper, and a 2 out of 3 'sea monsters' that were several hundred pounds!!!  The tarpon did bite last night though, but they are getting a little funny as we approach the full moon!
