Light Tackle
Wreck and Reef Fishing
Join me on
board the "Intense"
for a great day of offshore light tackle fishing on
the reefs and wrecks of Key West Florida.
Key West
is littered with wrecks and has one of the longest
barrier reefs in the world. There is a ton of fun to
be had out there for any angler no matter
experience. My boat is set up to fish for
anything we encounter I offer trips to the wrecks
and reefs off of Key West in the Gulf and Atlantic
waters on a daily basis.
About My Boat
The "Intense" is a
32 ft Yellowfin Center Console equipped with twin engines and rides as smooth as
silk. With plenty of room for 6 persons we generally
only fish with 4 on these trips. The boat has a
small bathroom and some shade with cavernous cooler space
for food and drinks and what you may want to kill
for dinner. This boat is made for long distance runs
as far out as the Dry Tortugas and designed to
handle heavy seas safely and swiftly. State of the
art electronics from Furuno and Garmin with the best in safety equipment
including satellite phone and weather with EPIRB.
State of the art just begins to describe my
Yellowfin.
Fish The Wrecks
Fishing
the wrecks one can encounter Permit, Cobia, Huge
Barracudas, Goliath Groupers, Amber jacks, Jack Crevale, Grouper, snappers and more.
Wreck fishing can be a great blend of sight fishing
mixed with bottom fishing and live baiting. Bring your
strong arms for a fun day of fishing.
Fish The Reef
The Reef
is huge and stretches way past the Dry Tortugas
offering some very fertile fishing grounds. Fishing
the reef one can expect some fantastic bottom
fishing for Grouper, Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail
Snapper, Hogfish, Amber jacks, King fish, Spanish
Mackerel, Black fin Tuna, Sailfish, Wahoo, Dolphin,
Huge Barracudas, Sharks, Cobia, and many more. This
is a high energy trip so pack a lunch.
Things to
Keep In Mind
Fishing
the deeper waters can be a bit strenuous at times
and some of you that suffer from motion sickness
will want to prepare your self accordingly.
Bring a hat, towel
and some sunscreen with a decent pair of Polarized
glasses. I require that everyone on board my boats
wear glasses at all times for their safety.
Hydration is
important. Bring what you would like to drink and
eat out there. I supply plenty of bottled water for
my customers. I recommend also that they bring some
sort of sports drink as well such as Gatorade.
The
Type of Tackle and Techniques
Live
bait is the best way to bottom fish with some
alternatives using jigs and some artificial lures.
Chumming and dead baiting for some species as well.
Both Conventional and spinning gear are provided for
you with the best in line and tackle. See my
equipment page for more details.
Fly
fishing is also a fun way to spend your day on the
wrecks and reefs here in Key West. You can throw a
fly at anything to see if it will eat. My boat is specially equipped to
handle fly rods safely and the casting decks are
designed with fly fishermen in mind. I supply fly
rods or you can bring your own. I have rods ranging
from 6 - 12 wt with intermediate and floating lines.
For added convenience I have all sizes matched up
with right and left hand retrieve.. I will also
supply the flies as well.
