With the easterly wind pushing the warm waters of the Gulf Stream through the Florida keys, comes the large number of ‘schoolie’ mahi as well as the odd bigger ‘bull’. Summer in Islamorada can be pretty awesome. Feeding frenzy’s are common, so if you’re like Sara and love every reel screaming drag at once, then Islamorada is the place.

Year-end Snook out of Dunedin
Snook are not only one of the most sought after sport fish, but are also a challenging adversary. Why? They are an extremely aggressive species, uncooperative, energetic with great fighting quality. There are 5 species of snook located in Florida waters. They are renowned for their great eating, but do have strict bag limits and seasonal closures. Snook are best targeted during the tide change before sunrise and after dusk. So if you’re in Dunedin, Florida at years end, you may just catch Sarah trying to outwit the elusive Snook.

If you’re serious about polishing your topwater fish fighting and fly fishing skills, you certainly can’t go past the Jack Crevalle.
