Key West - Saltwater Fishing Report
I hope everyone is keeping warm and dry!
While most of the country is digging out from under yet another major show storm or trying to keep warm from sub-freezing temperatures, Key West is basking in temps in the mid 80's. With the weather we've been having lately, it's hard not to have a great day on the water. Wahoo and Tuna have been biting sporadically, but if you put your time in you can expect to get your share. We've had a few days of South East wind and that's causing a few Dolphin, (Mahi) to show up also. Not the kind of dolphin bite one would expect in May or June, but a few nice eating sized fish just the same.
The Sailfish bite isn't red hot, but there are always a few
around this time of year. Live baiting along the outer bar has been the most effective.
The water on the reef has been pretty green, but the reef action has been steady. Cero Mackerel are still biting and there are still some trophy sized barracudas to be found. I haven't been bottom fishing, but the green water along with a bit of current is usually good for yellow tail snapper fishing.
