Most people are probably going to be interested in fishing along the reefs and ship wrecks. There are literally hundreds of ship wrecks that make great artificial reefs. The deeper wrecks are on the East side while the more shallow wrecks are to the West in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to the wrecks are plenty of bonified reefs, collectively making up the 3rd largest reef in the World, the largest being the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

The reefs and wrecks around Key West host many different kinds of game fish. If you drop a line with live bait deep, near the bottom, you can pull up a grouper, maybe even a goliath grouper weighing as much as 800 lbs. They like to hang around the bottom of wrecks and reefs. You can catch amber jack and snapper down there too. The truth is, on the reefs and wrecks you can catch lots of really great fish like wahoo and dolphin; blue fish and tuna. Fresh tuna fish is a whole lot better than that stuff you get in a can. Fresh tuna makes for great sushi!

Most of those yachts are decked out with the best accomodations like air conditioning, state rooms, comfortable lounges and multiple full service bathrooms. They're built for more than luxury though. These boats are equipped to handle the biggest fish in the sea.

What big fish can you catch out there? How about a 250 lb sailfish. You could have that one mounted for your wall. Or maybe you'll hook into a 750 swordfish. That's a huge fish and they can really fight. The prize of prizes though is the marlin. There are a number of species of marlin, all big, all beautiful and all very fast. The marlin can swim up to 65 mph and they fight like heck! The blue marlin can weigh well over a thousand pounds, the largest on record being 1,800 lbs.
