Key West Inshore Fishing Report: Post-Hurricane Action Heats Up
Greetings, fellow anglers! This is Captain Ryan Carter bringing you the latest inshore fishing report from the beautiful waters of Key West, Florida. Despite the recent challenges posed by Hurricanes Hellene and Milton, I’m thrilled to report that our resilient fishery is bouncing back with vigor.
Post-Hurricane Conditions
In the wake of the storms, we experienced a brief period of murky waters and uncertain fishing conditions. However, I’m pleased to announce that Mother Nature has worked her magic once again. After a couple of days, our crystal-clear Key West waters have returned, setting the stage for some exceptional fishing opportunities.
This Week’s Hottest Catch in Key West: Yellow Jacks
The undisputed stars of this week’s fishing action have been the hard-fighting yellow jacks. Captain Justin, one of our local experts, has been leading the charge with impressive catches of these powerful fish. Known for their aggressive strikes and tenacious fights, yellow jacks have been providing anglers with heart-pounding action and unforgettable memories.
Mixed Bag of Key West Inshore Delights
While yellow jacks have been stealing the spotlight, they’re not the only game in town. Our charter captains have been reporting a diverse mix of species, ensuring that every trip offers a unique experience. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s been biting:
- Tarpon: The “silver kings” are making appearances, offering anglers the chance to battle one of Florida’s most iconic gamefish.
- Snapper: Both mangrove and lane snappers have been eager to bite, perfect for those looking to bring home a delicious dinner.
- Spotted Seatrout: These popular inshore targets have been active, especially during the cooler morning hours.
- Jack Crevalle: Providing drag-screaming runs, these powerful fish have been a welcome addition to many anglers’ catch lists.
Bait and Tactics: The Pilchard Advantage
As we transition into fall, one bait stands out above the rest: pilchards. These small, silvery baitfish are like candy to our inshore predators, and knowing how to use them can make the difference between a good day and a great day on the water.
Looking Ahead
As we move further into fall, we anticipate the fishing action to continue heating up in the Key West area. Keep an eye out for migrating species like kingfish and cobia to join our year-round residents in the coming weeks.
