Yelloweye Snapper
Islamorada, the 'Sport Fishing Capital of the World,' offers incredible opportunities to target Yelloweye Snapper. These reef dwellers thrive in the diverse underwater structures surrounding the Keys, from patch reefs close to shore to deeper wrecks and ledges further offshore. The best time to target them is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when water temperatures are more comfortable and the fish are actively feeding. Focus your efforts around structure in 80-250 feet of water. A local tip: many anglers find success using live shrimp or small pinfish on a jig head, dropped directly to the bottom. Be prepared for a strong fight, as these fish are known for their powerful runs. Also, pay close attention to regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can change frequently in the Keys. Consider booking a trip with a local charter captain; their knowledge of the area and preferred techniques can significantly increase your chances of landing a trophy Yelloweye.
