21 NOV 2024 · As of November 21, 2024, the fishing scene in Islamorada, Florida, is looking excellent. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Tides
The weather is beautiful today, with clear skies and mild temperatures. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:27 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 9:51 AM and a low tide at 3:34 PM, making it ideal for both inshore and offshore fishing.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw great action on the reefs. Anglers caught a variety of species, including big yellowtail snappers, mutton snappers, king mackerel, and even some dolphin. The reef edge has been particularly productive, with snappers and king mackerel biting consistently. Blackfin tuna and jacks have also been active, especially after the recent cold front.
### Best Lures and Bait
For reef fishing, live bait such as shrimp and pilchards are working well. Jigs and spoons are also effective for catching king mackerel and snappers. If you're targeting tarpon, bonefish, or snook in the backcountry, fly fishing with shrimp patterns or using live bait like shrimp on jigs can be very productive.
### Hot Spots
- **Reef Edge**: This area has been great for snappers and king mackerel. The recent cold front has pushed these fish into more concentrated areas.
- **Backcountry Channels**: For snook, redfish, and tarpon, the deeper channels in the backcountry are ideal, especially after cold fronts push them into these areas.
### Additional Tips
The cold front that moved in recently has stimulated the sailfish, so keep an eye out for them. For those looking to catch table fare, the reefs in town are loaded with snappers and king mackerel. If you're after a challenge, bonefish on the flats are active, especially on sunny days with a bit of wind.
Overall, conditions are good, and the fish are biting. Get out there and enjoy the beautiful weather and excellent fishing that Islamorada has to offer.

The reef edge has been particularly productive, with big yellowtail snappers, mutton snappers, and king mackerel being common catches[2][4].
### Best Lures and Bait
For reef fishing, using live bait such as pilchards or pinfish has been highly effective. Jigs and spoons are also working well for king mackerel and snappers.

Another productive area is the backcountry, particularly around the local bridges and channels, where snook, redfish, and even some tarpon are still present[2][5].
### Additional Tips
Given the cooler weather, it's advisable to be patient and wait for the sun to warm up the waters a bit before the fish become more active.
