Islamorada earned its reputation as the "Sportfishing Capital of the World" for good reason. The unique geography provides access to both Florida Bay and Atlantic Ocean fishing grounds within short runs from the dock. Fall fishing in these waters brings cooler temperatures that often trigger feeding activity among resident species. Bottom fishing the patch reefs and deeper structure produces quality snapper and other bottom dwellers, while drift fishing techniques work well for opportunistic predators.
When targeting yellowtail snapper, we'll set up strategic chum slicks to bring these cautious but aggressive feeders to the boat. Mutton snapper require more finesse and often respond best to natural baits presented near structure. For those seeking a true test of strength, the greater amberjack found on deeper wrecks and reefs provide arm-burning fights that create lasting memories. Captain Troy's multi-species approach ensures you'll experience the diversity that makes Islamorada fishing so special.
Miller Time Sportfishing operates a well-maintained vessel equipped with quality rods, reels and tackle appropriate for the species we target. We recommend bringing sun protection, polarized sunglasses, non-marking shoes, and a camera to document your catch. Early morning departures typically provide the most comfortable conditions, though we can adjust based on weather patterns and tidal movements.
The boat includes basic amenities for your comfort during the trip, including shade, a cooler for beverages, and storage for personal items. We clean and fillet your catch at the dock, so you can enjoy fresh fish for dinner that evening. For the best experience, book your charter in advance, especially during peak seasons when availability becomes limited. Captain Troy is happy to answer any questions about trip specifics when you call to reserve your date.
