King fish bite hot

the school, which will drive them down. We usually catch them on small, light surface baits like dusters or small natural feathers. This time of year, blackfin tunas are our main catch. Once in a blue moon, we’ll catch a yellowfin. Yellowfin are extremely rare in Key West. Blackfin tunas can reach sizes of 40 pounds although most of them are 5-8 pounders, the size of a football. This is a great month to catch lots of blackfin tunas so bring the wasabi! Sailfish is the other main attraction here in Key West this month. This is a good month for sailfishing in Key West. While sailfish are here year round and can always be caught, the concentrated numbers of them bite best in winter through early spring. February is a GREAT month to catch sailfish, in fact, it’s one of the best months of the year. The cooler temperatures of February get the sailfish really lit up and aggressive. The stronger easterly winds of February also help the sailfish action and allows us to do a lot more kite fishing. Kite fishing allows us to go out and present live baits right on the surface of the water and keep them right on the current edge. This is a very effective technique to catch sailfish and although they are never guaranteed, you won’t find better conditions for sailfishing any month of the year. Sailfish are the most sought after gamefish in the entire world and anglers come from all around the world to catch these magnificent billfish. The most awesome thing about sailfish other than their colors and beauty, is the spectacular aerial display they put on during their fight. They jump out of the water like no other fish and take sudden fast runs throughout the battle. If you’ve never caught a sailfish before, it’s a rush like no other. Many other species bite well in February in Key Wst but these top… wahoo, tuna and sailfish are what makes February famous for one of the best months of the year to go fishing in Key West . Some of the other fish that are possible this month are amberjacks and groupers around the wrecks, mahi-mahi are sometimes biting, kingfish and barracudas on the reef and lastly, huge sharks begin making their run down out coastline this month. The shark migration that begins in February and end in late June is truly epic, but is the topic for future fishing report. Good luck to everyone fishing this month. Tight Lines and Let’s Go Fishing
