Best Key West Florida (FL) Saltwater Sport Fishing

When we say, "go fly a kite" down here, we mean Keys fishing with kites. Kite fishing is a very interesting and productive style of saltwater sport fishing. Several types of kites are available on the market today. Aftco makes an all weather kite that dries quickly, which comes in very handy if your kite should take a plunge or if rain should get it wet. A wet kite is hard to keep in the air, and can be an exasperating ordeal to try to get aloft. This kite also has interchangeable cross members so that it will stay aloft in near calm or very high wind conditions. Another South Florida fishing favorite is the Bob Lewis kite. This is a fabric kite and is a standard for many Key West deep sea fishing charters. The latter usually have at least three different kites on board for various wind conditions, i.e., light, medium, and heavy.

Live bait fishing is most common, charter fishing Key West, although dead flying fish and ballyhoo can be very productive on sailfish charters under some conditions. A live goggle eye, blue runner, or threadfin herring is the bait of choice while pelagic fishing. The bait is attached to the hook and is suspended below the kite where it may be used in several ways. When the fish of choice for your key fishing charter comes along, you may let them eat the bait at that time and catch that particular fish. You may also choose to pass on that fish and take another. You may also decide to tease that particular fish and cast to it with a fly or other artificial lure, on Tuna fishing charters for example.

Another technique that works well on Dolphin charters is raising the bait out of the water and lowering it again, causing the fish to go into a frenzy. This is an exciting and highly visual display that allows you to pick and choose your quarry.

Kites are usually practiced in blue water fishing, however it is often employed while reef fishing or on wreck fishing charters. It is a very productive way of fishing the Keys from Key West to the Dry Tortugas National Park, so come on down and let's "go fly a kite".
