Being Involved In Shark Fishing In Key West

By Joanna Walsh


There is no way this activity can be likened to sport fishing. This because it is on a whole other level. First and foremost you could be unaided in your task. This means you have to plot out how you are going to do things when shark fishing in Key West. The same difficulty you face is what makes this activity fun at the same time. There will be nobody giving you instructions on what to do.

Victory is only won by fighting the distant giant all way to the tip of the rod into the ankle-deep waters. This requires that the beach-sharker have the necessary tackle that is capable of achieving an apparently impossible task. The major basic requirements are massive line capacity, a reel drag operation, and a strong rod that will be having the beef.

Some of the giant sharks anglers do challenge themselves by remaining stationary from bridges. Though a nice measure, pursuing the sharks off beach seems to be more exciting with full of challenges than just staying fixed on elevations such as bridges.

There are many shark species that exist such as the hammerhead. A lot should be put into consideration when one is going out to look for them. They should be in a position to feed. The water depth should also be reasonable for such species to be in. It is also said the water temperatures must be high. Baitfish should be able to do well wherever you intend to fish.

You have to know that fishing for this particular species is like a battle, survival for the fittest. To actually win you may be required to have a range of weapons. In the case of reels. There are those that are small and others that are quite large depending on how heavy of a species you will be handling. You do not need the line failing you at the moment when you need it the most.

The exact placement and number of hooks can be based on size and specie of a shark in addition to the type of bait. To add on, hook placement can mean great deal with sharks that may at first mouth a bait, twirl it, and then engulf it. Most a times, the line runoff rate when the bite is being taken may show aggression of strike. With this, whenever you are to lift the rod, try making perpendicular relationship between hook shank and contoured slab sides.

This is not for everyone especially those who are not courageous. It also needs one to be toned up. This is somehow like a water sport where one needs to be fit. The push and pull that is involved here is no joke. Trying to get hold of the shark can even give you fatigue depending on its weight. One should also know when they cannot handle a situation and when they have to take a break.

The release part demands heavy gloves, first aid kit, a friend, ankle deep water and commitment to safety and caution. You or your friend may hold the rod as the other attempts to take its measurement. This is unsurprisingly the most serious part of the entire process where the goal is to have you and the fish remaining intact and safe after the battle.
