Late fall and early winter the waters on the Atlantic side of the Florida Keys come alive with sailfish. Followed  closely by the anglers to try 
and catch them. Dolphin can be found in the warm waters of the Gulf stream any time of year but April through August the fishing is the
best. The average dolphin weighs about 5 lbs. but can go up to 35 - 40 lbs. Once located dolphin can be caught by trolling or casting. A good
place to find them is around patches of Sargasso seaweed. Trolling with the use of outriggers is the usual method. But kite fishing is starting
to come into its own in the Florida Keys and Key West. With it you can Place your bait a long way from the boat and not directly behind it. Plus
you can spot and keep other fish from taking your bait. Each charter service here in Key West and the Florida Keys will have its own style
and knowledge of the game fish and location to make your fishing trip to the Key West great.

Key West Sport Fishing Directory

An Irish priest loved to fly fish, it was an obsession of his. So far this year the weather had been so bad that he hadn't had a chance to get his beloved wadders on and his favourite flies out of their box

Strangly though, every Sunday the weather had been good, but of course Sunday is the day he has to go to work.

The weather forcast was good again for the coming Sunday so he called a fellow priest claiming to have lost his voice and be in bed with the flu. He asked him to take over his sermon.

The fly fishing priest drove fifty miles to a river near the coast so that no one would recognise him. An angel up in Heaven was keeping watch and saw what the priest was doing. He told God who agreed that he would do something about it.

With the first cast of his line a huge fish mouth gulped down the fly. For over an hour the priest ran up and down the river bank fighting the fish. At the end when he finally landed the monster size fish it turned out to be a world record Salmon.

Confused the angel asked God, "Why did you let him catch that huge fish? I thought you were going to teach him a lesson."

God replied "I did. Who do you think he's going to tell?"
