What One Should Know About Miami Deep Sea Fishing

By Patrick Perry


Deep sea fishing is a kind of angling that is done further from the land in deep waters. It is also referred to as sport, big game, or offshore boat fishing. To be considered so, the depth of the water should be at least thirty meters. In Miami deep sea fishing is a service provided to the public by several companies within the locality. This activity is often considered a way of spending a vacation and many people enjoy it.

There are many aspects that make offshore boat fishing different from the normal one. First, the process happens in very deep waters. This exposes people to deep sea fish species that prefer living in deeper waters. Such species include but are not limited to sharks, swordfish, marlin, and tuna.

The named fish species prefer deeper parts of the ocean because they provide enough space and lots of food sources. They cannot be found near the shore under normal circumstances. Catching these fishes can be a challenge that most people enjoy. It is entertaining and at the same time can provide food for the fishers. However, some people are only interested in the entertainment and release the fish back into the water eventually.

A normal expedition will start with chartering a boat at the shore. The boat comes with all equipment that one may need and life jackets just in case something goes wrong while in the water. A team of experienced individuals may come along to navigate the boat and offer advice or help whenever it is necessary. The charter received provides permission for the entire group to fish.

Many people finish the trip at dusk and return the boat. Pictures are often taken with people carrying the fish they caught. This has become a tradition because almost everyone takes pictures. The expedition starts with navigating the boat straight into the sea to a place where land is out of sight. Such places are considered to be the prime grounds for offshore boat fishing.

Methods used after reaching the desirable spot are many and diverse. Major ones involve using spears, nets, and hooks. Different methods are preferred by different people. Regardless of the method used, most people tend to enjoy the struggle involved in bringing fish onboard the most. Game fish are not that easy to bring onboard from the water. They put up a long and fierce fight before they can be caught. Big tunas are known to last over 4 hours.

The process can be physically exhausting for some people. Once caught there are many things to do with the fish. Some people, especially those interested in the fun alone release the fish after catching it. Some take it home as food while others tag them for research purposes.

In Miami, the activity is regulated by law. Overexploitation of game fish is prevented by imposing restrictions on what people can do on the expeditions. For instance, before people take their catch home, they may need to log with relevant authorities first. The catch per trip is also restricted to a certain number.
