The Captain's Role In Key West Fishing Charters

By Leigh Bean


If you have spent years being an avid fisherman, you have undoubtedly dreamt of going to sea and reeling in the biggest one ever. If you should find yourself in Florida, Key West fishing charters can make your dream a reality. Record breaking catches have been taken from the ocean surrounding this coastal state.

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 two different kinds of boats that can be used when hoping to locate the big ones. The first is the head boat. It is often favored because the price is quite affordable. So much so, that these boats do not leave harbor with any less than twenty anglers on board. If it is your desire to find that big one, you will have to do so after untangling your line from the many others in the water. Live bait, that is proven to be the best of lures, are not allowed on head boats.

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.

How much you are willing to spend will decide a number of factors. You may have an air conditioned cabin when the heat is just too much to withstand. You will also have the choice of picking a weekday rather than a weekend to set sail. You needn't worry about a guarantee that you will catch a fish because most of these captains know exactly where to troll giving you the greatest odds of making a catch.

Everywhere you go in the Keys you will be inundated with ads. Of course, every one of them will offer the very best in charter fishing. We know this can't all be true so find out yourself by asking around. Most will happily share their experiences with you.

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.

Key West fishing charters are noted for one thing. They can pretty much guarantee a catch because they know exactly where to locate the big ones. If your trip should prove to be unfruitful, a legitimate captain will offer to take you out a second time when your dream of landing the big one is likely to happen.
