A Basic Guide For Florida Keys Fishing Charters

By Tammie Caldwell


Many people dream of having a fishing adventure out in sunny Florida. Complications for such an adventure would be how to go about planning for one. To deal with any complications, hiring a captain and their crew could be one of the considerations. They would act as guides, both on land and out at sea. The best option would be hiring Florida Keys fishing charters. Before hiring a crew, certain issues require thinking through.

The first issue to have in mind is that once we hire an experienced crew and their captain, we would be engaging excellent guides. They would straighten issues for us involving licenses, tackle, anglers, cleaning the fish we caught and live bait. They would handle fileting, freezing and packaging of our fish while still fresh. All we would worry about is food, drinks, sunscreen and having fun.

An experienced crew would know where to get the best rates. Generally, rates for a Florida Key West fishing trip varies between five hundred and one thousand dollars. An adventurer would have several schedules and budgets to choose. A half-day taking four hours during the morning or afternoon starts at five hundred dollars. Six hours starts at six fifty dollars while a whole day starts at seven fifty dollars. Deep bay and deep offshore fishing trips start at eight hundred dollars and tarpon trips in the morning or afternoon start at four hundred dollars.

You could have a short period to have fun and long to catch big tarpon and a number of other species. Your captain may organize an expedition with such specifics. Your tailored schedule may have a morning of tarpon angling and a half-day offshore. Next may be reef or backcountry, finishing off with more tarpon catching in the evening.

Before making reservations for angling charters in Florida, checking a Florida Keys angling calendar would be in order. That way, the holidaymaker would gain knowledge about ideal fishing dates for their favourite sporting fish species. As an example, tarpons are available throughout the year although they are scarce between October and March. These are abundant between April and June. White marlins are available between May and August only.

For an outstanding fishing experience, the right combination of ingredients is essential. This should be composed of an experienced crew and their captain, a superb vessel, high quality fishing reels, rods tackle, on-board GPS and depth technology. Angling in Florida Keys requires an extremely versatile boat. The boat has to provide excellent performance for either backcountry, tarpon or offshore angling. It should able to do both ocean and bay and able to help catch every game fish type within the whole Florida Key region.

You can trust Shimano where rods and reels are concerned. The same applies to Sufix for your fishing lines. Most professional captains and their crew prefer GPS equipment from North Start for their superior geo-location electronics. Furuno Electronics are excellent providers of depth finders and their technology.

Once an adventurer has thought these features of a fishing charter through, the next step involves searching for a suitable Captain and crew. Recommendations and referrals from satisfied holidaymakers is a place to start. An online search is another wonderful choice. Shortlisting has to cover experience, training and cost alignment with the holiday budget.
