11/9/11 Islamorada Offshore & Backcountry Report

Fishing was good all around today here in Islamorada Florida Keys.  In the backcountry Capt. Rick Stanczyk reported hooking double digit snook and catching 8 or so.  Redfishing around flamingo was not so hot just a few small rats.  Capt. Mike Bassett caught a real nice size fish on a half day back there as well.  Capt. Jim Willcox ran deep into the backcountry and caught some snook, redfish, and a baby tarpon.  Capt. Skip Nielsen did say he got a few nice size reds out to the west.  Capt. Vinnie Biondoletti fished the patches and caught several nice size hogfish - great eating!  Also plenty of porgies and other fish.  Offshore Capt. Nick Stanczyk on the BnM got into several nice mahi, great to see them this time of year.  They also caught 2 sailfish.  The gulf edge got a little nasty this afternoon, Capt. Rick reported it started blowing out of the west shutting a lot of fishing down out there this afternoon, we did catch some nice jacks and found a big goliath grouper on some structure.  Unfortunately we hooked him about 6 times and could not pull him out of it with the rod we had, must of been a very big fish!!!  Great fun still though to feel them pull!

10/20/11 + 10/21/11 Cooler weather has arrived!

Ross Hiatt caught his first bonefish fishing with Capt. Vinnie Biondoletti on 10/20/11. Fishing was great after the weather we had. First nice day in quite a few, lots and lots of rain previous!  Lots of tailing bones. Ended the day on the patches catching some porgy and mutton snapper.  10/21/11 the wind picked up again out of the north and it was a little cooler out, that time of year again!  Capt. Rick Stanczyk fished with Jason and Craig on a half day and ran back all the way to flamingo.  Fishing was fair, we did get a decent snook, black drum, redfish, and sheepshead.  Lots of jacks, little snappers, and ladyfish as well.  Decent islamorada fishing for the incoming tide on half a day!  Capt. Vinnie and Capt. Bill Bassett reported once the tide start slowing down in the afternoon, they caught several large snook and redfish in the same area Capt. Rick was fishing.  Just goes to show you how fishing a full day can give you a lot more opportunities since you have different stages of tide, daylight, and conditions!

10/10/11 Islamorada backcountry fishing close to home!

Then back to the bridges where they managed to catch some nice jacks and beautiful snook.  They fished with Capt. Vinnie Biondoletti!  Lots of fun to be had on an islamorada fishing charter!  Be on the lookout for more october fishing report islamorada!

10/1/11 Great bonefishing here in Islamorada!

October has brought us our first cold front of the Fall season.  This usually pushes different fish to different places, and brings us some welcome cooler temperatures.  While it is just a few degrees, it can make a BIG difference on the fishing!  Capt. Vinnie Biondoletti fished Gary and Alex Ash and caught numerous trout and redfish in the backcountry.  Though they ended their day fishing nearby Islamorada and caught seven bonefish!  Amazing fishing!  There have been several reports of bonefish pushing off the ocean side and even in the bay the last few weeks, so get out there and enjoy some florida keys fishing october!
