Florida Keys Offshore & Deep Sea Fishing
All About Florida Keys Fishing & Key West Fishing
Keys Fishing
Offshore fishing in the Florida Keys is absolutely spectacular!  Whether you want to target
Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi), Tuna, Wahoo, Kingfish, Sailfish,Amberjack, Marlin or Swordfish, you'll
find your perfect catch in the Florida Keys and Key  West.  The many different types of game
fish that are offshore make for an experience of a lifetime!  
Florida Keys fishing charters and
guides use several different techniques to target game fish.  One of which is called the “run-
and-gun” technique.  While using this method of game fishing, the charter boats travel the
offshore waters looking for birds, weed lines, floating debrias and baitfish busting up the
surface.  After any of these types of activities are spotted, it is only a matter of time before you
are sight casting and the drags are screaming!  

Another fishing technique used is kite fishing.  This type of fishing is exciting as well.  
Deploying one or two fishing kites from the bow, stern, or both, then releasing lines out from
clips that leave live baits right on the surface attracts the gamefish.  The attack from the fish is
absolutely amazing!

Another fishing technique that is becoming more and more popular is deep drop fishing.  
Late in the summer, the Dolphin fishing usually gets spotty. The reef is too warm for big
Grouper and Snapper and the wrecks generally produce Amberjacks and Shark. The best
way to put “color” into the fish box is to fish deep.  That is, on the bottom of the ocean, say
about 850 feet.   
Deep drop fishing is an obsession for a few serious anglers because only a
few will pay the excessive price for the initial equipment needed.
