Guided Bonefishing Key West Florida

By Serena Price


When you are looking for sport fishing you can do no better than Key West, Florida. The bonefishing Key West guided tours are some of your best fishing expeditions on the Atlantic Coast. This city covers the entire island and has many water related activities to choose from.

This is the best place to find bone fish in the Keys. They are abundant and larger than you will find anywhere else on the Atlantic Ocean. There are many guided fishing tours to choose from when you are ready to go fishing. The best plan is to charter the boat in advance though because they get very busy at times.

Bone fish are a very popular fish because they are strong fighters when caught. They are hard to spot in the shallow water of the flats. This is their favorite feeding area because the crab and shrimp live there. The silver color of their scales causes them to appear invisible against the bottom of the sea. Sometimes the only way to find them is to look for ripples in the water.

These fish offer multiple ways for catching them. You can fly fish for them or use bait to catch them. The guide you select may practice chumming for them because they have a good sense of smell and will find the shrimp and crab that is being used for chum. This practice helps to ensure that their clients are able to catch the fish.

When you are on the flats, fishermen use a technique called tailing. The fish tails cause a disturbance on the surface of the water when feeding and this alerts anglers to their location. Once located they should be easy prey for anglers who can cast into their midst while they feed.

The larger fish are found in the deeper waters and are reported to be more difficult to catch. Locals will tell you that they are wise to the angler's tricks and smarter than their counter parts on the flats. Bone fish are a catch and release sport fish so their numbers are high and the chance of catching one very good.

When you select which guided tour you can expect that they will supply you with any license you may need as well as all of the tackle and bait you will use during your trip. The length of most tours can be up to eight hours long so you may want to bring food and any refreshments other than water with you. Your captain will be happy to give you a list of what to bring.

When you are bonefishing Key West you may find that you have found an ideal place to vacation. Many famous people have lived there and wrote that they wished they never had to leave. Some left only to return as soon as they possibly could.
