Halfbeak
Islamorada, the 'Sport Fishing Capital of the World,' offers a different take on halfbeak fishing. While not as widely targeted as other species, these surface dwellers can provide exciting light-tackle action, particularly during the warmer months. Focus your efforts around the numerous mangrove islands and grass flats that characterize the area. They are often found around floating debris or weed lines. For the best results, use small hooks baited with tiny pieces of shrimp or squid, and present your bait near the surface. A stealthy approach is crucial, as halfbeaks are easily spooked. Consider drifting along the edges of the flats, using a push pole or trolling motor to maintain a slow pace. Access to these fishing spots is readily available via numerous boat ramps and marinas in Islamorada. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits.
