NOTES

A Recap of Successful Fishing In Islamorada

Atlantic Ocean - Dare, NC

We've got plenty of bait - good-sized shrimp at the marina and catchable pilchards around Islamorada. This time of year, getting bait is easy, making half the battle for a good fishing day already won.

Our team fished the ocean side patches on the Atlantic side, small bits of coral reef in shallow waters from 10 to 30 feet. They caught a mix of fish like snappers (mangroves, and muttons), groupers, hogfish, and mackerel. The pilchards worked well for snappers and groupers, while hogfish preferred shrimp. Note that we can't keep hogfish this time of year.

In a nutshell, with lots of bait options and a focus on ocean side patches, our anglers had a successful day, showing how different bait can attract different fish. The availability of bait continues to be a big plus for our fishing adventures.
