Key west is on pace to have the coldest December on record. With the =
water temperature below the normal comfort zone of all fish that =
frequent the flats. I have been spending most of my time in deeper =
water. My clients have been doing a little run and gunning for bonito =
that have been showing up in good numbers. This type of fishing is =
absolutely fantastic. Imagine you are running at full speed to catch up =
to the busting fish and diving birds. When you get into position you =
fire a white grub with a 3/4 oz jig into the mix. A fast jerking =
retrieve seems to draw the most strikes and when the hit does happen it =
is ferocious. The bonitos are up to 15 pounds so they put my light star =
rods to the test.
The few days the water temperature has made it up to the mid- high =
60's,The Barracudas and the sharks have been around. The cudas have been =
a little tough due to the cold and the few I have caught only ate with a =
very slow retrieve. The sharks have also been fairly tough until the =
temp gets up to 67.
For all of you tarpon fans an early and cold winter means a very good = season
