January 31st, 2012

Windy and fairly “Sporty” today!

Cero Mackerel caught in Key West fishing on charter boat Southbound from Charter Boat Row, Key West

But we found some protected waters and caught some nice Cero Mackerel on 20lb and 8lb test spin tackle.
Best fish of the day was the big sucker in the middle – 13 1/2 lb Cero mackerel on 8lb spin!
(That’s only about 3 lbs off the world record!)

Full Day Today

Weather was beautiful, but fishing was tough

                        We live bait fished for Sailfish offshore
We sharked fish inshore
          and finally we trolled the reef

We got a few, but it was not hot and heavy for sure

A Very, Very Strong Cold Front came through last night

Winds were blowing 34kts, (that’s about 39mph for you landlubbers).
Much too rough to go off shore. We tried to Shark fish in
 shallow protected water, but while it was calm,
it was very muddy and fishing was very slow.
