Fishing report from December 15 - January 4th

Lots of great fishing was  had here in the Florida Keys over the Christmas holidays and New Year.

Using Fox Sport Fishing rods and reels my guests enjoyed some fantastic variety. We had warm days mostly with just a few cooler days. A little rain here and there but it was one of our warmest December's on record here in Islamorada. We even caught a few big Tarpon.

Fox Sport Fishing Bonefish Treks, Permit Treks and Sailfish Trek rods were our go-to rods along with Fox Diablo spinning reels. Here are some (just some) of the many highlights for my holiday guests using Fox Sport Fishing tackle.
