trip description for Big Shark Trip in Islamorada

Explore the immaculate flats and beautiful backcountry with Captain Mark to chase Redfish, Snook, Trout, Tarpon, Shark, Snapper, and Permit down in the Florida Keys! These trips start at a beacon of the sportfishing world, the World Widesportsman in Islamorada (You'll know what I mean when you meet up with Captain Mark if you don't already). From the Dock behind World Wide, you will hop aboard Captain Mark's 17' Mako skiff that comes ready with all the fishing gear you will need, a cooler with some ice, and waters for you as well. Depending on weather conditions, time of the year, and your preferences of course, Captain Mark will take you either up and down the strings of keys to explore the abounding flats for Permit, Bonefish, Jacks, and Tarpon (when they're in the area), or back into the everglades to explore the seemingly endless maze of mangroves and backwater flats for Redfish, Trout, Baby Tarpon, and Sharks. Both are awesome options and Captain Mark will be there, either way, to lend his knowledge of tides, share his secret spots, and show you his favorite techniques for each species! Captain Mark is a pleasure to fish with and looks forward to taking you out on your next Florida Key's inshore adventure! Read More

What is jack crevalle fishing in Islamorada all about?

Jack crevalle, known for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights, are a common sight in the waters around Isla Morada. These sturdy fish are members of the Carangidae family and are often found in schools near the surface, making them an exciting target for anglers of all skill levels. Jack crevalle are known for their voracious appetites and will readily strike a variety of artificial lures, including topwater plugs, spoons, and soft plastics, as well as live bait such as mullet, pilchards, and shrimp.

One of the best aspects of targeting jack crevalle in Isla Morada is their year-round availability. These fish are present in the area's waters throughout the year, providing anglers with ample opportunities to hook into a hard-fighting jack crevalle regardless of the season. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or the shoreline, anglers can often locate schools of jack crevalle patrolling the flats, channels, and nearshore reefs and wrecks, particularly during periods of favorable tides and weather conditions.

Anglers targeting jack crevalle in Isla Morada should be prepared for an exhilarating battle, as these fish are known for their aggressive behavior and tenacious fighting spirit. When hooked, jack crevalle will often make blistering runs and powerful dives, putting anglers' tackle and skill to the test. Stout rods and reels spooled with heavy braided line and fluorocarbon leaders are recommended to handle the brute strength of these fish. Additionally, anglers should be prepared to practice catch-and-release conservation practices to ensure the sustainability of the jack crevalle population in Isla Morada's waters for future generations of anglers to enjoy.

What are the most popular months to fish for jack crevalle fishing in Islamorada?

In Isla Morada, jack crevalle can be found year-round, making them a consistent target for anglers no matter the season. However, certain times of the year may offer more favorable conditions for locating and catching these hard-fighting fish. During the spring and summer months, jack crevalle are often more abundant in the area's waters, with warmer temperatures and increased baitfish activity attracting these predatory fish closer to shore. Anglers can target jack crevalle along the flats, channels, and nearshore structures during this time, taking advantage of their aggressive feeding behavior.

While jack crevalle are present in Isla Morada's waters throughout the year, their abundance and behavior may vary depending on factors such as water temperature, tides, and baitfish availability. During the fall and winter months, jack crevalle may move to deeper water or offshore areas in search of warmer temperatures and food sources. However, they can still be targeted by anglers willing to explore deeper channels, wrecks, and reefs where these fish may congregate during cooler months. Additionally, jack crevalle may be encountered while targeting other species such as tarpon, snook, and redfish, adding an element of surprise to fishing excursions in Isla Morada.

Anglers planning to target jack crevalle in Isla Morada should be prepared to adapt their fishing tactics based on seasonal changes and environmental conditions. Paying attention to water temperature, wind direction, and tidal movement can help anglers locate areas where jack crevalle are likely to be feeding and actively hunting for prey. By staying flexible and adjusting their fishing strategies accordingly, anglers can increase their chances of success when targeting jack crevalle in Isla Morada's diverse and productive fishing grounds throughout the year.

What techniques are popular for catching jack crevalle in Islamorada?

Fishing for jack crevalle in Isla Morada requires a mix of strategy, patience, and adaptability to the fish's behavior and feeding patterns. One effective technique for targeting jack crevalle is to use live bait such as mullet, pilchards, or pinfish rigged on a hook with a leader and swivel. These baitfish can be cast near structure such as bridges, docks, or rocky outcroppings where jack crevalle are known to gather. Anglers can also drift or troll with live bait to cover more water and locate schools of actively feeding fish.

Another popular method for catching jack crevalle is to use artificial lures such as topwater plugs, spoons, or soft plastic jigs. Anglers can cast these lures around structure or along the edges of flats and channels where jack crevalle are likely to be patrolling for prey. Retrieving the lure with a fast, erratic action mimics the movement of fleeing baitfish and can trigger aggressive strikes from jack crevalle. Additionally, surface poppers and surface-walking lures can be effective for enticing jack crevalle to strike at the surface, providing exciting visual action for anglers.

When targeting jack crevalle in Isla Morada, it's important to remain mobile and actively search for signs of feeding activity such as splashing baitfish or birds diving. Jack crevalle are opportunistic feeders and often hunt in schools, so locating active feeding areas can greatly increase your chances of success. Anglers should also be prepared for a strong fight once hooked, as jack crevalle are known for their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. Using sturdy tackle and maintaining a firm grip on the rod will help anglers successfully land these hard-fighting fish when fishing in Isla Morada's productive waters.

What other species are popular in Islamorada?

In addition to jack crevalle, Isla Morada offers anglers a diverse range of species to target, providing ample opportunities for exciting fishing experiences. One popular species sought after by anglers is the tarpon, known for its impressive size, strength, and acrobatic leaps when hooked. Isla Morada is renowned for its world-class tarpon fishing, especially during the annual tarpon migration from spring to early summer. Anglers often target tarpon using live bait such as mullet or crabs, as well as artificial lures like swimbaits and bucktail jigs, with the opportunity to hook into these powerful fish presenting an unforgettable challenge.

Another prized species found in the waters around Isla Morada is the bonefish, prized by anglers for its speed, agility, and challenging nature. Bonefish inhabit the shallow flats and backcountry areas, where they feed on crustaceans and small baitfish. Anglers often sight-fish for bonefish by quietly poling or wading the flats, spotting fish and making precise casts with lightweight flies or small jigs. Bonefish are known for their skittish behavior and keen eyesight, making them a challenging quarry for even the most experienced anglers, but landing one can be immensely rewarding.

For anglers seeking a thrilling offshore adventure, Isla Morada offers opportunities to target species such as mahi-mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado. Mahi-mahi are prized for their vibrant colors, rapid growth rate, and delicious taste, making them a popular target for both recreational and commercial fishermen. Anglers typically troll with artificial lures or rigged baits such as ballyhoo or squid, covering large areas of open water in search of floating debris, weed lines, or other structures that attract mahi-mahi. Once hooked, mahi-mahi are known for their acrobatic leaps and spirited fight, providing anglers with an exhilarating offshore fishing experience in the waters surrounding Isla Morada.

    Damn great time on the water with Ben. He was willing to quickly adjust to last minute changes (remember, when you are replying to messages from Captain Experiences they might not get to the guide you are using through them). Ben got us into multiple species of fish using various methods of angling. When our time was up, we had a few "keepers" that Ben filleted up for us. It was a perfect day on the water. Thanks for the great time Ben and, more importantly, thank you for your service to our country! DO NOT HESITATE to book a trip with Ben.

    We had the best experience with Andrew. He’s a born and raised in Key Largo local and he put us on a bunch of spots where fish were biting. He was so patient when we got tangled or lost our bait and was just in general super friendly and helpful. You can tell he spends his days on the water because there’s no place he’d rather be. And he also cleaned our fish with an amazing alacrity and gave us excellent recommendations on where we could have it cooked for us by highly acclaimed local chefs. It wasn’t just fishing, Andrew was the whole package.
