Fishing Along the Overseas Highway

The islands are much more than flats fishing, with opportunities to troll, jig, or fish live baits on the drift or from kites.

My first time fishing the flats from Old Town’s pedal kayaks.

The surf-fishing tournament, spanning close to two months, has upper Gulf anglers thrilled to hit the beaches.

The beleaguered waters next to Florida’s second-largest city still have plenty to offer.

Permit and tag applications for the limited recreational season open on Oct. 15.

A group of anglers ran more than 300 miles to connect with the record beeliner. All that’s left is waiting for approval from the IGFA.

Seagrass loss prompts emergency snook closure from September through December.

The big sail was caught only a half mile off the beach on a pedal-powered vessel. The sailfish unfortunately didn’t survive the encounter, despite the best efforts of the seasoned angler.

Farm-raised Atlantic croaker could satisfy high angler demand at bait shops and reduce pressure on declining stocks in the wild.

You better have these top baitfish imitators ready to go when the mullet come to town.

Catching a permit of any size is one heck of a fight. Now imagine landing a 40-, 50- or 60-pounder! That’s exactly what these anglers accomplished.
