There are several ways to catch sailfish:

Trolling with Bait and Dredges: A popular method that involves using natural baits such as ballyhoo or dead bait, often rigged simply to avoid scaring off the fish. Dredges can be employed to create visual attraction, enticing sailfish to come closer.

Kite Fishing: A dynamic technique where live bait is suspended from kites, keeping it near the surface and mimicking natural prey movements.

Sight Fishing: This adrenaline-filled approach involves casting live bait directly to visible sailfish. It’s most successful in clear water conditions during early morning hours.

Bait and Switch Method: This method uses teasers to attract sailfish near the boat. Once a sailfish shows interest, a bait (like naked ballyhoo) is pitched to entice it to strike.

Typically, we start catching sailfish from November to January. For those looking to specifically target them, the prime months are late March through early May.

Using a circle hook significantly increases the sailfish’s chances of survival. It’s best to troll nearshore reefs and wrecks that are teeming with bait fish in depths of 60 to 100 feet.

While sailfish are not commonly consumed, they are a highly prized game fish. Join us on a Key West fishing charter and experience the thrill of the fight!
