Islamorada Fishing Report — April 25, 2026

Overall, it was a slower day across the fleet.

The Islamorada Hump did not produce any tuna, and that part of the program never really got going. We pushed offshore and looked as far out as around 1,100 feet, but there just was not much out there to make you want to stay with it.

The better signs came back on the weed, and that is where the mahi we did catch came from. The first better area was on scattered weed in roughly the 800-foot range, where we picked off several fish. The second, better setup was a more consistent weed line in roughly 900 to 950 feet, and that is where we picked away at a few keeper mahi along with a few throwbacks.

It was not a big-fish day. Nothing caught was especially significant, and the biggest fish was only a small bull in the 6 to 8 pound range. All of the mahi we caught came on Islamorada Flyers.

Captain’s Take

Today looked like a weed game, not a Hump game and not a deep-water game. The fleet never really found much tuna action, and the run to 1,100 feet did not show enough life to justify the extra effort. The best chance at a bend came from staying disciplined around clean weed in the 800 to 950 foot zone and fishing Islamorada Flyers for a modest pick of keeper mahi and throwbacks.
