DEEP SEA FISHING
Some of us are more prone to choosing the water when we ’ re outside . Whether you enjoy sunbathing and relaxing while you hope for a bite on your line , or if you prefer to rush through raging rapids in a lightweight kayak , these activities are trip-worthy .
Deep sea fishing is one of those activities that never gets old . Out at sea on a 40 footer , rods and reels prepped , a cold drink nearby , and your favorite ball cap on your head ; it doesn ’ t get much better than that . This is especially true if you are in the Florida Keys . The Florida Keys has some of the best big game fishing waters in the world , and because it is so popular , there are plenty of fishing charters to choose from . Charters range from small , family owned and operated companies , to large assemblies with additional entertainment aboard . These boats come fully equipped ( most of the time ) with the proper reels and gear you are going to need , which is all factored into one low price for whatever package you decide to purchase .
Remember , you will be catching big game fish , so you ’ ll need to come prepared to use some muscle . The lead instructor will show you exactly what you need to do if you are unfamiliar with big game fishing protocol . The Florida Keys are home to Marlin , Tuna , Wahoo , Sailfish , Swordfish , and many more “ big boys ” to reel in . Check seasonal rates and events to find the best pricing and time for your schedule / budget , and get fishing !
