Fun Key West Fishing Charters

By Rachael Gutierrez


There are many things to consider when searching for Key West fishing charters. Determine whether you wish to angle sharks or a sail fish, or if you would like to troll for grouper. You should determine whether you want to travel off shore or stick to wreck and reef fishing. Considering all of the options available in Key West, you can assume that the possibilities of trawling excursions just might be endless.

For the less daring, Eco tours are a fantastic choice. Boating, snorkeling and sight seeing would be a great way to have fun. Call the charter company to see if they offer these services. Ask if they provide rods and reels. Snorkeling can also be a fun way to spend your day. Make sure to ask the company if they provide equipment rentals.

Many companies provide bag lunches and rentals for your convenience. Some even provide instruction on catching the big fish. Several companies offer bait, tackle, rods, reels, taxidermy, cleaning and filleting your catch.

If you choose to go trawling over reefs and wrecks you might catch mackerel, grouper, snapper and barracuda. Deep water and off shore trolling may bring you face to face with a shark, tuna or dolphin. Extended trips may enable you to catch monster amber jacks and sail fish.

When you are looking for excitement, you might consider a party or head boat. When you are in the Florida Keys, it is common to find party boats trolling along with the regular charter boats. The local people tend to bring their party atmosphere everywhere they go.

When you go on an Eco tour, you will be able to enjoy seeing a lot of Florida's wild life up close. Some Eco tours offer kayaking, snorkeling and glass bottom boats. You can even choose to go para sailing, dolphin watching and jet skiing.

Call local charters to see what services they provide. Be specific when questioning the costs of the excursion, additional rentals and incidentals. After you gather your information, determine which things you would enjoy doing as you set off for your trolling adventure.

Inquire about choice of bait. Shark and grouper angling may require different bait choices. Choose your bait wisely. Ask if you are allowed to keep the fish you catch. Determine if the company practices catch and release programs. If not, find out if they provide taxidermy services and what the cost would be. Replica mounts are often available for catch and release programs. Make sure to ask questions about the cost of these additional services. Find out if there will be additional charges for photography. You will want a picture of yourself with your record winning catch.

Bring plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. Bring your camera to record your great catch. Take your time deciding whether you want to go deep sea fishing, boating, kayaking or jet skiing. If you prefer to go on an Eco tour, sight seeing or dolphin watching there are plenty of Key West fishing charters to make your dream a reality.
