  • Summary

  • Today, January 4, 2025, the fishing scene in Islamorada is looking promising, especially with the current tidal and weather conditions.

    First off, let's look at the tides. As of today, we had a high tide at 00:49 AM with a height of 0.67 ft, followed by a low tide at 8:50 AM with a height of -0.04 ft. The next high tide is expected at 1:59 PM with a height of 0.46 ft, and the final low tide of the day will be at 8:39 PM with a height of 0.09 ft[2].

    The weather is mild, with sunrise at 7:08 AM and sunset at 5:47 PM. This time of year, the warmer weather patterns are still holding up, which is great for fishing.

    Yesterday's fishing was excellent, with a lot of action in the backcountry and nearshore areas. There were plenty of snook, redfish, and black drum caught in the Everglades. Spanish mackerel were also biting well in the Gulf, along with some tripletail and the occasional cobia on various wrecks. Tarpon were active around the bridges and in the backcountry, with Capt. Charles Hertel and Capt. Mike Still reporting local tarpon action near the bridges[1].

    For today, you can expect similar activity. The best lures to use would be live bait such as shrimp, mullet, or pinfish for species like snook, redfish, and tarpon. For Spanish mackerel and tripletail, using jigs or spoons can be very effective.

    If you're looking for hot spots, Channel #2 Bridge just west of Islamorada is always a good bet. This bridge is home to mangrove and yellowtail snapper, gag grouper, barracuda, snook, and tarpon. Another spot is the Long Key Bridge, which is less crowded but still offers plenty of snapper, small grouper, snook, and tarpon[3].

    Overall, it's a great day to get out on the water in Islamorada, with plenty of fish to target and favorable conditions. Make sure to check the tide times and adjust your fishing strategy accordingly. Good luck out there
