Tips for Kingfishing Along the Reef in the Florida Keys

It’s a brisk day in the Florida Keys as Captains Steve Rodger and Scott Walker exit the marina of the Ocean’s Edge Resort in Rodger’s 36 Yellowfin on this episode of Into the Blue. “It was cold as all get out,” reflects Rodger, “it was probably 64 degrees, which in the Keys is about as cold as it gets. I’m wearing jeans, which doesn’t happen very often.” Today the pair is on their way out to the reef, ready for anything that might come their way but hoping to get into some yellowtail snappers or tuna. While some yellowtail certainly make their way onto a couple of their baits, another treasure of the keys is going to be much more prevalent today: kingfish. We’ll go into some of the strategies the two Into the Blue hosts used to prepare and adapt as they head out for a day on the reef.
