Key West Fishing 02-09-16

This past Sunday and Monday, since the winds were out of the east, our captain reported hooking three Sailfish in only a day and a half. When the winds have been right this winter, the Sailfish have been red hot. We've also seen some success with other Deep Sea species, such as Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, and Dorado. Our captains have been successful in depths of 120-foot to 180-foot using live bait on kite and drift.

The captain of our Outcast fishing vessel, Bill Wallace, also guided anglers to fish the reef for Black Grouper and Mutton Snapper. One fortunate client caught and released a twenty-five-lb. Grouper.

Because of the shift in wind direction, our captains headed into the Gulf side on Tuesday to chase Kingfish and Cobia. Our vessel Coolwater, under the guidance of Captain Tony Miller, saw catches of 20 and 26-pound Cobia, as well as a 42-pound King Mackerel. Tony used live bait off a forty-foot ledge.

The winds are due to change again this week, creating fine conditions for Deep Sea Fishing on the Atlantic side of Key West once again.

We look forward to seeing you in the Keys,

Captain Damon Santelli
