Just got back from a week in Islamorada. Rented a boat and got out at least once every day. Weather was fantastic and were able to get 4-5 offshore trips in as well as the usual reef excursions. Fishing was so-so. Got dolphin every time we fished the deep, but not in the numbers I was hoping for. All they wanted was skirted ballyhoo - nothing on lures. Finally found a nice piece of debris the last trip and pulled a fish off it and were preparing to chunk the fish up when we took our eyes off it and could not relocate. Surely would have loaded the boat. Oh well. Did manage one really nice bull in the middle of the week. Guestimate is 55 inches and 45-50 lbs. Put on quite a show, jumping 15-20 times. All in, can't complain and had fish for lunch and dinner every day!

Definitely jealous of you living down there now -- tremendous fishery.

That is one very nice fish....congrats! I am back in Md for a few weeks but my fishing buddies in Marathon tell me the dolphin bite has let up a bit. The night fishing on the reef is heating up though.
