By Cathy Mercer


Key West offers travelers and vacationers some of the best vacations in the world. Travelers are often impressed with the clear waters, sunny skies and impressive fish catching adventures, second to none in the world. For those looking for fun, and a day of fish hunting Key West fishing charters may offer a once in lifetime experience.

Key West is famous for its warm waters that roll into the Atlantic from the gulf of Mexico, bringing with it many different kinds of fish. With more than 225 species known to the waters, there is literally an adventure for everyone. With charters ranging from flat to deep water trips rather experienced or a beginner there is a trip to accommodate all needs.

In an area known as the back country, which is an area of more shallow water where boats troll along flats of the back country, fishing is accomplished. When on a charter, boat fishermen can expect guides to instruct and investigate with them, and even give tips for these unusual waters. Guides will point out fish and fisherman cast for the fish.

Common fish in the back country are bone-fish, permit and tarpon. Amazingly, shark can even be caught in only three feet of water, which makes for an exciting adventure when guides spot a shark, and the fisherman tangles with the shark. Live bait, fly, spinning tackle, and other techniques are needed.

Catching shark or tuna along reefs is done along corals, which offers a different experience with the many different fish that are indigenous to reefs. There are many fish in this region, and various types of techniques are also used to catch them. Fishermen can expect on charters to also catch Goliath groupers and barracudas, as well as others.

Because these fish are bigger they may require other techniques, such as trolling, kite and other methods. Reef techniques can offer an exciting adventure, especially for those who have never fished in this type of water. Just observing the many different fish is an exciting experience. Key West fishing charters are an excellent opportunity to fish in pristine waters, with huge fish, under the instruction of an experienced captain or guide.

A once in a lifetime adventure for fishermen is the deep sea trip. Deep sea is an intense experience and involves fly, deep dropping, trolling and other techniques. Many different types of fish can be caught, often dramatically jumping up from the water in the deep seas, which means a more exciting experience. It also means observing the many different kinds of fish in the waters.

Deep waters contain some of the biggest and strongest fish. Fish such the sailfish, dolphin, tuna and marlin are common inhabitants of these waters. Different techniques may be needed dependent on the fish and guides can explain and instruct fishermen.

Prices range depending on size of trip, boat needed and type of excursion. Trips may be booked for a few hours to day long fishing adventures. No matter what type of charter or trip is chosen Key West Fishing Charters offer fishermen the chance to try out techniques in some of the clearest, most pristine and exciting waters in the world.
