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.

How you choose to fish supplies a couple of choices. A head boat offers a lower price but you are accompanied with about twenty anglers. In this case, the only nibble you may get is another fisherman's line getting snagged up in yours. For just a few dollars more, you can hire a charter that is for you and you only. The head boat rides disallow casting and even the use of live lures. You may have fun, but not much else will occur.

Take your time in looking for a hire. Believe me when I say they are not all created equal. There are a number of good ones but see if you can find one that used to be a commercial fisherman by trade. They know these waters well and that gives them a great advantage over other boat captains.

Look for variations in rates. Like anything else it bears shopping around to find the best deal for the amount of money that you pay. The boats themselves will vary in size and fishing equipment that is stowed on board. Nothing can parallel the heat while trolling the waters around Florida. An air conditioned cabin would be most welcome on those days. You will also need to know if food is provided.

Everywhere you go in the Keys you will be inundated with ads. Of course, every one of them will offer the very best in charter fishing. We know this can't all be true so find out yourself by asking around. Most will happily share their experiences with you.

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.
