Target Species

Snapper
Islamorada’s reefs and wrecks hold abundant snapper species, including yellowtail, mutton, and mangrove snapper. Prized for their delicious meat, they can be caught year-round while bottom fishing with light tackle or live bait.
Mahi Mahi
Brightly colored and hard-fighting, mahi mahi (dolphin fish) are a highlight of offshore fishing in Islamorada. They’re most common in spring and summer, found near weed lines and floating debris where they strike live bait or trolling lures.
Wahoo
Wahoo are one of the fastest fish in the ocean and deliver blistering runs when hooked. In Islamorada, they’re often caught while high-speed trolling along deep reef edges and color changes, especially in cooler months.
Sailfish
Sailfish are the signature wintertime species in Islamorada, known for their spectacular jumps, speed, and beauty. They’re typically caught while kite fishing with live baits along reef lines and drop-offs in the clear blue waters of the Atlantic.
Mackerel
Both king mackerel and Spanish mackerel migrate through the waters off Islamorada, providing steady action for anglers. They strike aggressively and are common from late fall through early spring around reefs and wrecks.
Amberjack
Known as “reef donkeys” for their strength and stamina, amberjack are powerful fighters found around deep wrecks and ledges. They provide thrilling battles for anglers using heavy tackle year-round.
Blackfin Tuna
Blackfin tuna are small but mighty pelagics found offshore near humps and current edges. They’re most active in spring and fall and are known for fast-paced action and excellent table quality.
Cobia
Cobia are curious, hard-fighting fish that often follow rays or hang around wrecks, buoys, and other structure in warm coastal waters. They’re most common in the spring and provide both a great fight and a tasty reward.
Grouper
Grouper are structure-oriented bottom fish that thrive around reefs, ledges, and wrecks near Islamorada. They’re prized for their size, strength, and excellent flavor, with peak seasons varying by species.
