The Captain's Role In 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.

When you first feel the tug on your line, the adrenaline will begin to pump through your veins. Sinking your hook in that elusive flounder, marlin, tuna, or swordfish, will guarantee you have a fight on your hands. Bringing in a one hundred and fifty pond fish is no easy task and you will take great pride in doing so.

There are a couple of options when choosing how you wish to go fishing. Head boats are popular because of their inexpensive price but you will travel with about twenty other anglers hoping for the big catch while choosing to save a few dollars. It is common for lines to become snagged and live bait is never allowed for use. The head boat is a better choice for sightseers that would rather spot than reel in these huge fish.

When you make the choice to charter there are some things that you should take into consideration. The first one is the ships captain. Know what you want to do and choose a captain that is comfortable with filling your request. Anyone with a background in commercial fishing will have the advantage over most others.

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.

Advertising offers little insight into what you get for what you pay. Ads and pamphlets will make any charter look and sound the best. Take time to visit a few marinas and get the scoop on who is good and who isn't. Complimentary attitudes are better any day of the week than an unsubstantiated written word.

Also find out what effect the weather will have on your excursion. Will you get your money refunded or will the trip be rescheduled if a storm is brewing. Before you sign on the dotted line find out about these things. A good sea captain will never take anyone out when stormy weather has been predicted. The high sea is no place to be during a storm.

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.
