The winter fishing in Key West really took off this weekend with all our favorite fish showing up at the same time.Steve ,Justin,Jackie & Hutch caught Blackfin Tuna ,Wahoo ,Kingfish,Bonita and Sailfish all day Saturday.

Things started slow ( in the rain ) and by looking further offshore in 350 - 400 ft the tunas and Wahoo were solid . We let the cat out of the bag on the radio and the whole fleet had a good day.
