Cold fronts = sailfish! We've been steadily watching the cold fronts as the Florida State saw snow once again. An occurrence of once a decade. These cold fronts are important for game fisherman such as myself but only one cold front is not enough. We need a few back to back to really see the advantage. Now we've received just that. We're just kicking off the season and are within the 4th cold front and the fish seem to be showing up. This morning (jan 25,2025) we managed to hook 2 sailfish within an hour apart meanwhile a few other boats saw similar success! Kite fishing in windy days will be the go to method so anticipate using live bait. Some live baits are caught on the trip, others are purchased to save time! As sailfish and other highly migratory fish travel south, they enter into narrowing depths and they begin to concentrate. Finding the perfect depth can be pivotal in setting up the kites on the drop. Color changes in the water can also provide variance in water temps, a sensitive element to fishing for billfish. I anticipate a strong season as we have weather reports that will push temperatures into the low 40s this month into feb. The colder the weather, the further south the fish will travel and in greater numbers! Capt Matt.
