I was talking with Ron at Yellow Bait House on Key Largo today. He was telling me that the strong winds of March are finally starting to calm down and the fishing is picking up. Some boats made it out of port yesterday and reported catching some nice dolphin in 200ft of water. No sailfish were reported and they may have moved out of the area. Other fish being taken include swordfish, grouper, mutton snapper, and yellowtail snapper. The best baits include ballyhoo, googleye, spedos, and silversides for the snapper. On the bay side of the keys, bonefish are starting to show better on shallow sand flats. Fly fishing is the preferred way to catch bonefish but a live shrimp will also work. Redfish, blackdrum, snook and speckled trout are all being caught in good numbers. Live shrimp and finger mullet are the best baits. Forecasters predict the winds to calm even more as the week progresses. This will produce outstanding fishing for all of the Florida Keys and South Florida. For more information contact;
