DEEP SEA FISHING
Kite Fishing 101
Kite fishing was introduced and perfected by Captains from Pier 5 and has long been the popular method for catching sailfish. A tactic used to keep live bait at the water surface to produce multiple and more exciting bites. The kite is flown from a separate rod and reel consisting of a shortened rod and a wide spooled or motorized reel with either monofilament or dacron as line. The line is broken up into three section with release clips and swivels. The three sections are spread apart about 70-75 feet to separate the fishing lines. Once the kite is airborne, the line is released from the kite reel slowly so the fishing lines can be attached to the clips and free spooled as the kite lifts further into the air. Kite fishing now becomes a game of adjustments as the lines lift and drop with the rise and fall of the boat and kite. If you are in a good fishing area, the splashing and vibration sent off by the live bait on the line will surely guarantee you a sky-rocketing fish bite!
Trolling
Deep sea fishing involves a multitude of different types of fishing. Trolling can include live baits, natural fish strips, dead rigged baits, or artificial lures. Fishing Miami in the summer time along a thick pile of live seaweed can almost always guarantee you a strike. Dolphin, Wahoo, and Tripple Tails are commonly found wandering these patches of seaweed that hold bait and provide shade from the beaming sun.
Live bait trolling is a popular method for catching King Mackerels and Spanish Mackerels. A slow trolled bait in blue water will have your reel singing in no time. Hardy baits such as blue runners and goggle eyes are the Smoker King Mackerels favorite choice.
Trolling with artificial baits has long proven to be a great way to cover a lot of fishing grounds. A bright lure on a cloudy day or a dark lure on a sunny day would be hard for a hungry fish to resist. Whether slow trolled or trolled at high speeds for Wahoo, it is very exciting to have all the reels go off at the same time as a school of hungry fish have taken your baits.
