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.

With its warm gulf waters converging with the Atlantic to bring some of the most robust fish in the world to the these tropical waters, Key West is a fisherman's dream. Game fish of over 225 different species swim in these waters, and the raw adventures in these waters are endless. Many different types of charters can be purchased, designed with the level of experience in mind. Trips focusing on flat, tackle sport, and deep water can be purchased.

Beginners might fight flat fishing enjoyable, in areas known as the back country. This is an area where boats troll on shallow water, and fish for several different species. Fishermen can expect trip guides to explain the best fishing method, and point out fish. Once fish are pointed out, fisherman then use the technique to catch 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.

Coral reefs also add another dimension to the trip experience. With many more fish indigenous to the reef region, fishermen will be amazed by merely observing the huge fish. Many techniques will be used to catch the fish. Fish such as the barracuda and Goliath grouper can be found near the reefs.

Techniques used for catching these mammoth fish include kite, trolling, live bait and others. This is the ultimate in excitement for first time fishermen to this area. Charter guides will lead fishermen into appropriate styles and techniques for catching these fish.

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.

Tuna, dolphin, marlin and sailfish are some of the exciting species in the deep seas. Instruction techniques from captains and guides on deep sea techniques will be given, which will allow for an even more rewarding trip. When booking a deep sea trip keep in mind the size of boat, as charges may adjust depending on type of boat.

Costs may vary for trips. Not all trips are the same, deep sea means a different type of boat is needed, and may also mean more safety gear, and the like. Trips can be purchased for a few hours or all day, and costs may be be strongly associated with the type of boat needed. Regardless of type of trip, Key West fishing charters can provide a once in a life experience adventure, under some of the most beautiful skies, in the famous gulf waters.
