Best Way To Enjoy A Fishing Charter

By Elinor Tran


The Florida Keys offers an abundance of fishing and an Islamorada fishing charter is a great way to experience it. Islamorada is located at the middle Keys and has been called the sport fishing capital of the world. Heading out on the boat towards the turquoise blue waters is the best way to enjoy the sun and water of South Florida.

One thing about going after fish in the Florida Keys is that you have the opportunity to catch a large variety of fish. The coral reefs that surround the land area attract many species of fish including dolphin, grouper, marlin, mackerel, snapper and tuna. There are several marinas around the area and offer both heavy and light tackle charters.

The most fish are often caught off the smaller boats. Light tackle is used aboard these boats and the cost is normally cheaper. There are many backwater guides that will show you the ins and outs of catching fish in the flats, trying to catch bone fish and other popular species.

Party boats or head boats take out groups of fishermen for a half day of fun. Tackle and bait is supplied for one price for each person. No license to fish is needed and the crew will help you with baiting hooks and taking the fish off the hook. Afterwards you can have your fish cleaned for a reasonable price and then have a local restaurant cook up your catch.

If you are looking to catch one of the large game fish such as a blue marlin or swordfish, your best bet would be to charter a large boat that has the equipment to help land a big one. Reeling in a fish that may be over fifty pounds is tiring yet exhilarating. Strapped into a chair as you reel in a fish that is fighting to the end will be a moment that fish stories are made of. Watch it leap in the distance behind the boat as it tries to get unhooked.

An islamorada fishing charter is a great way to experience what the Florida Keys has to offer. Your day will be filled with excitement and memorable thrills. For most fisherman, a day of fishing in the absolutely beautiful water that surrounds the Keys will be one to remember.
