THE Five Hour Window - Key West, Florida Keys!

Their game plan for quick action: flutter jig a few Atlantic side wrecks and rubble concentrations off Key West, Florida Keys, and then head west for yellowtails.

Yet, they still had one more “Ace” to play: trolling Rapala plugs in Hawks Channel; here, the team enjoyed some of the most rewarding action of the day! And, as luck would have it, the skies cleared long enough for them to anchor off Boca Grande and enjoy a freshly prepared yellow jack poke. George and team based out of The Perry Resort & Marina.
