The Florida Keys is famous for world class fishing. What kind of fishing appeals to you? Backcountry or Offshore?
Backcountry fishing is a more relaxed experience. The best backcountry fishing guides have a special blend of talent,
knowledge and skill as they pilot you into the wilderness of the uninhabited Keys and mangrove shorelines of the Florida
Bay or the Gulf. Common catches in the backcountry flats include barracuda, redfish, shark, tarpon and bonefish. Other
fish that one might catch includes black drum, ladyfish, pompano, sheepshead, snapper, snook and trout.
For offshore fishing, you can choose from a Party Boat Charter ( Fishing Charter Boat ) or a Deep Sea ( Offshore )
Charter. A Deep Sea or Offshore Charter will take you into the Gulf Stream for big game fishing if you are a novice and
experienced angler looking for challenging and exciting fishing. Usually at depths over 1000 feet, anglers will hunt for
dolphin (Mahi Mahi), marlin, sailfish, shark, tuna and wahoo.
Most anglers prefer the edge of the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream provides the Florida Keys with the perfect deep sea
fishing grounds. The Gulf stream is like a strong river flowing northward along the entire east coast of Florida. It's 25 to
40 miles in width with a summertime temperature off Key West of 86F and a wintertime temperature off Jacksonville of
75F.
If you don't want to go all the way out to the Gulf Stream, a Party Boat Charter ( Fishing Charter Boat ) may be your best
bet. This would also be the best choice for a beginner fisherman or if you wanted to go for a half day only. Both half day
and full-day trips are available and some charters go out at night.
The captain will decide the best place to anchor depending on weather conditions, tide, the time of the year and the skill
level of the anglers. Fishing in shallow waters, anglers can expect to catch grouper, mangrove snapper, mutton, porgy,
sheepshead and yellowtail. Big grouper, bonito, cero, king mackerel, mutton snapper, sailfish, tuna, yellowtail and
wahoo can be caught reef fishing. At 130 to 200 feet you will find king mackerel, muttons, vermillion and lane snappers,
larger porgy, mangrove, silk and genuine red snappers. Fishing around wrecks will bring big amberjack, smoker kings,
grouper and blacktip sharks.
Sportfishing with an experienced Captain and Crew that know which fish to fish for and where makes all the difference.
Chartering a luxury sportfishing boat, although somewhat expensive, may be a good choice for you if you are looking for a
fishing charter boat equipped with state-of-the-art electronics, comfortable air conditioned salons, and geared for all
kinds of fishing. This will only help make your day on the water unforgettable.
