Capt. Tony guided our charter vessel, the Coolwater, on an excursion west of the Florida Keys. After finding an excellent spot twenty five miles west of Key West, he anchored near the reef's edge. Our clients pulled in Bonita, Cero Mackerel, and Yellowtail using live bait on light tackle rigs. Tony also utilized some kite fishing techniques. The party snagged a Sailfish as well as some King Mackerel, the largest tipping the scales at 35 pounds. The prized catch of this trip was also caught using the kite: a Hammerhead Shark weighing 225 pounds.

Wahoo have also been biting on live bait, although inconsistently; our anglers caught a 25-pounder and a 45-pounder this past week.
