Getting The Most From Key West Fishing Charters

By Leigh Bean


If your favorite pastime is sailing along the deep blue sea in the hopes of snagging that big catch, Key West fishing charters could be the answer to your dream. There are many places one can fish in Florida but why waste your time with freshwater lakes when the sea is so very near. This is where the opportunity of record breaking catches have been realized.

Imagine being out beyond the sight of shore and you suddenly feeling a tug on your line. As your excitement level skyrockets, you begin preparing yourself for the battle you know lies ahead. There really are no small fish in these waters unless one weighing less than one hundred fifty pounds rate as small in your fishing experiences.

There are a couple of options when choosing how you wish to go fishing. Head boats are popular because of their inexpensive price but you will travel with about twenty other anglers hoping for the big catch while choosing to save a few dollars. It is common for lines to become snagged and live bait is never allowed for use. The head boat is a better choice for sightseers that would rather spot than reel in these huge fish.

While all sea captains have a good amount of knowledge' it is the retired commercial fisherman that will serve you best. They have fished these waters for years and are extremely adept at finding the area where the big ones are located. If you hope to land a tuna, marlin, or swordfish among others, they will find one for you.

How much you are willing to spend will decide a number of factors. You may have an air conditioned cabin when the heat is just too much to withstand. You will also have the choice of picking a weekday rather than a weekend to set sail. You needn't worry about a guarantee that you will catch a fish because most of these captains know exactly where to troll giving you the greatest odds of making a catch.

Pay little attention to the numerous ads you will find detailing everything these boats and their owners have to offer. Looks are often deceiving and you may not get what you see plastered all over a pamphlet. Do a little leg work on your own and ask around the marina's which fishing excursions are the ones best known for supplying what a person wants.

Of course, with some Florida seasonal weather we would be remiss in not mentioning that the weather can play a large role in your fishing expedition. A knowledgeable boat captain will be on top of the weather every day of the week. If it is shown to be threatening, rescheduling the outing will be in everyone's best interest.

Don't continue to let the big ones get away. Show your friends just how great the catch was by being photographed with it or having the fish mounted. Plan on getting some rest because the majority of charters will find you a big fish to land. A definite feat for even the strongest of men, Key West fishing charters are the ultimate anglers experience.
