Where Should You Start Your Deep Sea Fishing Vacation?
from:Have you ever thought about taking an entire deep sea fishing vacation, spending days or weeks out at sea instead of just a few hours? While this may not sound like something the average person would aspire to do, avid anglers and adventurers may be greatly excited by the prospect. Where can you find a deep sea fishing vacation that will take you on such a journey?
If you can get down to Florida, there are several areas off the Gulf of Mexico from which you can start your deep sea fishing vacation. Charters are available from Ft. Myers and southward in Sanibel, Estero Bay, and Cape Coral. For real excitement in south Florida, take a trip from the Keys, which are referred to as “the sport fishing capital of the world”. Because of the unique location between the Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll find one of the widest and most exotic varieties of fish in the world in these waters. Of course, some of the most prevalent fish species here are grouper and snapper, but you can also find redfish, tuna, and other large species in the reefs, ledges, and wrecks off the coast.
On the opposite coastline, deep sea fishing vacation packages are offered out of California, especially towards the south in the San Diego area. These packages are some of the most rewarding for those looking to spend an entire vacation at sea, since you can opt for long trips up to three weeks at a time away from the shoreline. The further out you go, the larger the fish become. Step away for three weeks and find yourself hundreds of miles out. You’ll forget about mackerel and start reeling in swordfish, tuna, marlin, and shark.
For a more exotic deep sea fishing vacation, you can set off from several tourist ports in Mexico that take you out to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. Start your excursion at Cancun, Cozumel, or Ixtapa and find yourself fishing the open seas with a knowledgeable, English speaking crew. Or, you can take a charter from the west coast at Cabo San Lucas and see what the Pacific Ocean has to offer south of California. You can also ship out from Mazatlan or Acapulco.
Wherever you choose to start from, a deep sea fishing vacation is sure to be rewarding in many ways. You can escape the stress of the everyday world, relax at sea, and have a great experience with extreme fishing and reeling in a catch you’ll be telling stories about for the rest of your life!
