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.

You may choose an Eco tour, boating and sight seeing. Find out if you need to bring your own rods and reels. Snorkeling might be a fun option during your trip. You need to make sure the company you choose will allow it.

Request a list of these provisions so that you are better prepared for your outing. Determine if you need to bring your own equipment and tackle. Calling ahead of time can save you time and money. Ask if there are special licensing requirements. Inquire about any additional instruction that you may need, and how much they charge. Many charters provide lunches. Request a list of their policies regarding catch and release and taxidermy services.

By choosing deep water, or off shore angling, you may be able to catch a shark, dolphin, or tuna. If you opt for reef and wreck trawling, you may catch barracuda, mackerel, snapper and grouper. By going on an extended trip you may be able to catch large fish like sail fish, king fish, barracuda, monster amber jacks, grouper, and snapper.

Key West is known for being a party town and their charters are no exception. You can find party boats and head boats heading out to troll along with the other boats. Most of these boats also provide the same provisional conveniences.

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.

Ask questions regarding choice of bait. The best bait may be different for each species of fish. Determine if there is a charge for special photography, if you happen to angle the largest fish on record. Find out if you are allowed to keep the fish you catch. If so, ask if they provide services to have it mounted. You might want to ask if they perform replica mounts in the event you catch a record winning sail fish and have to release it. You should also inquire as to what the cost of mounting and replica mounting would be.

The most difficult part just might be determining where your interests lie. By educating yourself, asking questions and making preparations, you will enable yourself to choose the most wonderful and appropriate Key West fishing charters, designed especially for you. Bring your camera to record this exciting event. Remember that keeping hydrated is very important, so bring plenty of water.
