Key West Fishing Report

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.
