| From
November to April we primarily fish for sailfish using
live bait and light tackle. The Atlantic Sailfish ranges
from 40-65 Ibs and is approx. 75-85 inches in length.
The sailfish is one of the fastest fish in the ocean
and puts on quite an acrobatic show when hooked up.
The sailfishing is done approx 6 miles offshore, just
outside the reef line. Key Largo with its numerous coral
reefs offers some of the best sailfishing in the world.
When sailfishing we normally fish 4-5 live baits on
the surface and one bait on a bottom rod.
On the surface in addition to sailfish we can catch
dolphin (mahi-mahi), tuna, wahoo, cobia, and other species.
The bottom rod will usually produce grouper, snapper
and kingfish. The sailfishing trip will start off by
us stopping at a bait patch to catch the live bait,
once the baitwell is full with ballyhoo, we will head
to the edge of the reef and the action begins. If you
have never hooked into a tail walking sailfish on light
spinning tackle (201b)you are in for the thrill of a
lifetime. Sailfish is catch and release, any other fish
that make good table fare will be cleaned by the mate
and can be enjoyed at one of the local restaurants for
your dinner.
From
May thru October we primarily fish for dolphin (mahi-mahi).
We also will catch tuna, wahoo, marlin, shark, amberjack
and others. During the summer months the dolphin population
simply explodes. We will normally troll rigged baits
and lures to locate schools of dolphin that range from
5 Ibs to 60 Ibs. Once a school is located their voracious
appetites and abundant numbers will result in a feeding
frenzy you'll never forget. The dolphin are excellent
table fare, you'll want to keep a few for dinner. Your
mate will clean and bag the fish, for you to have cooked
up at one of the local restaurants. One of the greatest
excitements in Keys Fishing is hooking into a dolphin
and watching the acrobatics, they put on quite a show.
Reef Fishing
As the name implies, reef fishing is done around the
coral reef itself. You'll be bottom fishing in calm,
sheltered water 6-30 feet deep for snapper,grouper,yellowtail,hogfish,
porgies, gruntsjacks,mackerel and barracuda, to name
a few of the 600 species found on the reef.
Once
anchored up-current of a good spot, and after lots of
chum is put out to create a feeding frenzy right behind
the boat, there is almost non stop action as you catch
fish after fish.
