As of November 10, 2024, the fishing scene in Islamorada, Florida, is looking quite promising, especially with the cooler weather setting in. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Tidal and Weather Conditions
Today, the sun rises at 6:35 AM and sets at 5:37 PM, giving us 11 hours and 2 minutes of sunlight. The tidal coefficient is relatively low, indicating smaller tidal ranges and currents. The first high tide was at 3:15 AM, and the next high tide will be at 5:36 PM, while the first low tide is at 12:03 PM and the next at 11:31 PM[5].
### Fish Activity
The cooler temperatures have invigorated the fish, making them more active. Yesterday, anglers reported catching small tarpon using artificial baits, along with a strong snook bite. Other catches included grouper and various species of snapper[2].
### Best Lures and Bait
For tarpon, artificial baits have been working well, but live bait such as shrimp or mullet can also be effective. For snook, lures like jigs and soft plastics are recommended. If you're targeting grouper, live or cut bait like pinfish or squid is a good choice[2][3].
### Hot Spots
One of the best areas to fish right now is the backcountry, particularly a bit further back where it's about an hour's run. Here, you can find tarpon, snook, and other species. Another hot spot is the Florida Bay area, where you can catch bonefish, redfish, and permit[1][3].
### Fishing Experience
Anglers have been having great success with full-day or 3/4-day trips, which allow enough time to reach the better fishing spots. The guides in the area are highly knowledgeable and can help you make the most of your trip. Yesterday's reports included several successful trips with multiple catches of tarpon, snook, and grouper[1][2].
Overall, it's a great time to be fishing in Islamorada, with plenty of fish to go around and favorable weather conditions. Make sure to check the local tide and weather forecasts before you head out, and don't hesitate to reach out to one of the experienced local guides for the best fishing experience.
