December Fishing Report: Florida Keys & South Florida Waters

The holiday season brings some of the year's best fishing opportunities to the Florida Keys. As winter settles in across the country, our waters come alive with exceptional sight fishing for the coveted shallow water species that make this region famous.

Biscayne Bay to Key Largo offers prime conditions for bonefish, with clear waters and optimal temperatures creating perfect stalking conditions. These "grey ghosts" are actively feeding on the flats, providing some of the year's most exciting sight fishing opportunities.

In Florida Bay and throughout Everglades National Park, anglers are finding consistent action with snook, redfish, and juvenile tarpon. These protected waters serve as essential winter feeding grounds, concentrating gamefish in predictable areas.

With daytime temperatures hovering in the low 70s and crystal-clear blue skies, December's weather creates ideal fishing conditions. Whether you're poling across a pristine flat or working mangrove shorelines, the mild climate makes for comfortable days on the water.

For those looking to escape the northern chill, the Florida Keys offer the perfect December fishing destination. The combination of cooperative weather, abundant targets, and stunning scenery creates an unmatched winter angling experience.
