Sailfish Fishing - Sailfishing
Miami, Key Largo & Islamorada
Sailfish are one of the most sought after fish in the keys. Sailfish are plentiful,
as cold fronts, cool the water temperatures north. This drives the bait schools
further south and not far behind the predators. They are great gamefish, on light
tackle, they jump a lot, are beautiful and a great adversary. Although sailfish
can be caught year round, our typical sailfish season starts in November and ends
in March.
As I indicated earlier, sailfish migrate south following schools of bait. There
might be several fish shadowing a school. Therefore, it is very common to have
multiple bites and multiple hook up. Now that's excitement.
 The
preferred method for sail fishing is with live bait. Therefore, the first order
of business is to catch our bait. Usually, we catch our bait in 10 to 20 feet
of water. When we have enough. We move off shore maybe a 10 minute ride. Sailfish
are shallow water fish which means we will fish 3 to 5 miles off shore. You never
lose sight of land.
We will either slow troll or drift are baits over structure. If condition are
right; we can put up a kite. Either method is an extremely exciting way to fish
as you will often see the fish and the strike as it happens.
 The
chances of catching a sailfish during "sailfish season" are very good.
This can be the first bill fish for many anglers and most anglers will choose
to have that sailfish mounted. The beauty of that is that you no longer have to
kill a sailfish to have a mount made. As a matter of fact, killing sailfish aboard
my vessel is not allowed. A measurement of the total length is the only thing
needed. Sailfish are definitely a catch and release species.
As mentioned earlier, sailfishing season coincides with our busiest season.
If you do want to target sailfish and book a trip. Please call well in advance
so we can get you out on the exact date that you wanted.
