Shark Fishing Key West
Key West is a great place for shark fishing. Not only are there plenty of sharks around, but they come in all different sizes and species:
- Hammerhead Sharks – These unique sharks use their powerful bodies very well in a fight. These relatively rare sharks tend to be about 6 to 12 feet long and can get up to 700 lbs.
- Tiger Sharks – Named for the dark, vertical stripes found on their bodies, tiger sharks have earned a reputation for attacking people. Their size ranges from 10 to 14 feet in length and they easily weigh 1,000 lbs.
- Bull Sharks – These sharks get their name for their head-butting behavior. They vary about 3 to 9 feet in length and can get up to 400 lbs.
- Lemon Sharks – These powerful yellow-colored sharks are the reason many people come shark fishing. They are the most common year-round catch and can reach up to 10 feet in size.
- American Sharpnose Sharks – These long-snouted sharks tend to be about 4 feet in length.
- Bonnet Head Sharks – With their shovel-shaped heads, these small sharks are often mistaken for hammerheads. Bonnet Head Sharks weigh around 20 lbs, averaging between 2 to 5 feet in length.
- Black Tip Sharks – These speedy sharks get their name for their fins, which look as if someone dipped them in black paint. They range in size from about 2 to 6 feet in length.
