Islamorada Fishing in the Spring is Alive!

Posted on March 8, 2010 by Killer White

Well spring is here, and the wreck fishing has started out pretty good. We have had no problem keeping anglers busy catching deep water jacks and snappers.
We had a really cool experience last week on the Islamorada hump, while fishing for amber jacks we had the opportunity of a life time. Daniel grabbed the leader and started to pull the fish closer tot he boat well at the same time a rather large hammerhead shark was eating our amberjack. On the first bite he cut the fish in half and obviously that wasn’t enough for him, he turned around and followed the rest of the fish to the boat. I yelled down to Daniel pet him and like that he reached over and started to pet this huge 500lb hammerhead. It was probably one of the coolest things I have seen out there on the water.

About Killer White

I have more than thirty years of fishing experience and nineteen years in Islamorada, Fl. Growing up and spending most of my childhood in North Florida in a small town called Homosassa Springs is where the fishing bug began. I was very fortunate to live on the water and fish for Tarpon, Snook, Grouper and many other shallow water species. I am married with four boys and they all love to fish. I am very understanding of children on the boat, and how important it is to keep them busy with catching fish and patience which goes for the same for the adults. I am also a U.S. Merchant Marine Officer licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard.
