Fishing The Flats
Introducing Florida Keys Shark Fishing 101
The Florida Keys and Key West waters are home to many species of sharks, ranging in size from only a few feet to more than 40 feet in length. Common shark species in the Florida Keys waters include bull sharks, lemon sharks, tiger sharks, hammerheads and nurse sharks. With so many species of sharks in Florida Keys and Key West, it is no wonder that the area is sometimes called the Fishing Capital of the World.
Shark fishing charters in the Florida Keys are typically in shallow waters near the flats and nearshore reef less than six feet deep in the calm Gulf area. Because these waters are well away from turbulent ocean waters, shallow water angling for sharks suits anyone, particularly those prone to seasickness.
Sharks converge where their prey usually linger. Ship wrecks and coral reef structures in the Gulf waters hold large quantities of fish and, as a result, attract a multitude of shark species. The largest concentrations of sharks can also be found in the channels between islands and banks and at the edges of flats. Sharks here cruise the area in search of an easy meal.
A booming cottage industry, shark sport fishing has led to a surge in demand for
Florida Keys fishing
charters. Regardless of whether you’re fishing for shark or other kinds of fish, it is important that the equipment you bring–hooks, Fishing Line, bait, especially the boat itself–match the species’ size and fighting ability. Fishing for sharks takes specialized equipment that are up to the task of capturing huge game in relative safety for you and the fish.
The treatment of captured game fish remains of utmost importance on all
Florida Keys fishing
charters. Catch-and-release methods are thus the most popular shark fishing method in the Florida Keys. As the name suggests, all sharks caught for sport are then released so the shark population does not plummet. Handling them near the boat is also for the best interest of the shark.
Shark fishing in many
Florida Keys fishing
charters are also suitable for all ages. For younger anglers, most fishing charters change the location to find smaller shark species in relation to their abilities. Always keep in mind that sharks are very unpredictable and no two individuals behave the same, especially when trapped near the boat. Take every precautionary measure you can.
