Happy New Year to all… 2009 has started off great in Key West. With the first cold fronts of the season pushing thru the offshore fishing has been red hot.
Black fin tuna, Sailfish, Wahoo, and King Mackerel have been very cooperative. We are fishing in depths of 120 to 240 feet of water.
The key to success is using live bait. Our light tackle boats don’t fish offshore without an abundance of live bait. Herring, blue runners, pilchards, or google eyes will do the trick. We like to drift offshore with 2 or 3 lines fishing on one side of the boat and 2 lines off a kite fishing the other side of the boat. This is the most productive way to catch you a fish of a lifetime.
Tight Lines,
