South Florida Sport Fishing Trips: Fishing 100-Pound Sailfish With A Kite?
from:Looking for a sport fishing adventure, try out the South Florida sport fishing trips? South Florida sport fishing trips can be taken from any of a number of coastal cities like Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Pompano Beach and Palm Beach.
This area of coastline sometimes referred to as the “Gold Coast,” offers anglers a chance to catch a variety of fish including barracuda and swordfish, the “gladiator of the sea.” Amberjack, kingfish and mackerel are also available to fishermen taking South Florida sport-fishing trips.
But, if you are looking for a truly unique experience using very unique tackle, gird your loins for your first…sailfish. These game fish have reached record weights of over 110 pounds.
It takes a very ingenious fisherman to attract and hook a sailfish; an expert fisherman Like Captain Vinnie LaSorsa with GoodFellas Fishing Charters. He says the most rewarding way to land a sailfish is with a kite! Yes, a kite!
Captain LaSorsa and his crew hang live bait from fishing kites and then suspend their hooks just under the surface of the water. This near-surface action creates sound waves that stimulate the larger sport fish like sailfish and tuna.
But, make sure to eat your Wheaties before going after sailfish, because a sailfish is one of the toughest saltwater fish to fight. Not tough enough for you, though? How about a taking on a shark?
If it’s a shark that makes your blood run hot, you’ll need the services of Captain “Mark the Shark,” out of Miami Beach.
Hammerhead, Bull shark, or Thresher, Captain Mark knows how to land these awe-inspiring predators of the seas. It’s rumored he has caught more sharks on rod and reel than any other person in the world.
And speaking of fishing tackle, you’ll want a South Florida expert to help you sort through all the variations of rods, reels and lures needed for deep sea fishing. The list runs the gamut from Penn Formula 2-speed reels to Black Bart Extreme Breakfast Teaser lures. And from the Shimano Tallus family of saltwater rods to the Illand Black Hole lure. See what I mean?
The really beauty of South Florida sport fishing trips is that you’ll spend your day fishing, not traveling. In areas like Fort Lauderdale, the fish are only 1-2 miles offshore.
South Florida has its own publication for fishing enthusiasts: The South Florida Sport Fishing magazine. It’s a good resource when doing research for South Florida Sport fishing trips.
South Florida sport fishing isn’t just a man’s sport; women anglers are very welcome. They even have their own tournament, the “Senorita Shootout,” held in both Miami and Fort Lauderdale. These “senoritas” reel in a variety of fish including kingfish, wahoo and blackfin tuna.
South Florida sport fishing trips are sold in half, three-quarters and full day trips. Most trips come packed with value and include everything from tackle to refreshments. Expect to pay extra for live bait, though.
