METHODS
OF FISHING
KITE FISHING
Kite fishing
is method that was developed in Florida that has been a proven technique for
all game fish, This method of fish eliminates lines and lead from being in
the water except your bait. The bait is constantly adjusted to keep it on
the surface of the water. This makes your bait a lethal target to the big
fish lurking below. This method increases your chances to see the fish
strike on the surface of the water. What a spectacular sight to see! Especially a sailfish strike!
BOTTOM FISHING
Bottom fishing is a method
to catch fish that live on the bottom on the reef. We do this by drifting baits
close to or on the bottom. This is accomplished by placing lead weights on
the lines. We have various styles of bottom rigs. A bottom rig is a
combination of a weight and hooks working together to make the fish bite
your bait. The type fish generally caught are mutton snapper, yellow tail,
vermilion snapper, and grouper. What fine table fair they make and very fun
catching. I have been told that the stories of the actual catch at the
dinner table are as grand as the table fair served
TROLLING
Trolling is a method that
the boat is constantly-making head way in the water with the motors. You
will fish 4 to 6 fishing rods. Each of the rods will have trolling baits
attached to the line. The baits are then positioned in a pattern that
reassembles a school of bait moving thru the water. The types of bait can be
all artificial, all dead bait (rigged to look like they are alive) and or a
combination of both artificial and or dead bait. This method of fishing is a
deadly method at different times of the year.
COMBO BOTTOM FISHING AND
KITE FISHING
This is a trip that makes
most of our customers happy. Why? Everyone wants to take fish home to eat.
This method enables you to do that and also at the same time top water fish
for sailfish, dolphin, king mackerel and tuna. This trip can only be
accomplished correctly on a boat like the Cha Ching. So you are actually
doing two trips in one and increasing your changes to catch fish. This is
the best value trip on the market place. It is more work on your crew but
our goal is to give you the best day that is possible on the water. Think
about this, bottom boats do not fly kites, nor do they have this expensive
equipment. If you charter one of the big sport boats around the area and ask
them to bottom fish most of them they will laugh at you or tell you if we
bottom fish we cannot kite fish at the same time make a choice. Make a
choice now and charter the Cha Ching and combination fish kite fish and
bottom fish all at the same time. We have had many happy customers by end of
the trip has caught a sailfish, and also have a cooler of snapper fillets
to take home for dinner. That is not a bad day!
DAY OR NIGHT SWORDFISHING TRIPS
NIGHTTIME swordfishing. For the big game angler
this is your trip. For the first time sword fisherman, what a experience!
You get the chance of catching something extremely large that puts up a
tremendous fight and what fine table fare these fish provide. The fishing is
done in the dark do to the type of fish we are targeting. The method of
fishing is drifting with various kinds of bait that are set at different
water depths to cover the water columns where these swordfish may be
feeding. The trip is a minimum of a 6 hour trip and can also be extend for
the entire evening till dawn. We are fishing in the Gulf Stream in deep
water waiting for the swordfish to bite. Here is where the Cha Ching is
ahead of the rest of the outboard fleet. With a spacious 36 footer with a
extremely well lit cockpit you have plenty of room to move around and
our cuddy cabin gives you the extra comfort level of stretching out,
relaxing or sleeping. The cabin has lights, fans, and stand up toilet and is
very comfortable to that puts you out of the night air so desired. This is a
special feature we offer on our custom contender. The Chi Chang is also
equipped with underwater lights that attract baitfish and sea life. When
waiting for the sword bite you can watch a natural aquarium behind the boat
that is always an interest to all. Additionally we have seen Swordfish
swimming thru the lights. Then the excitement begins.
For those of you that
want to catch a swordfish and do not want to fish at night we offer DAYTIME
swordfishing. This style of fishing is very productive also. An advantage is
that you are fishing during daylight hours and are not out in the ocean late
at night. We accomplish this type of fishery with an electric reel.
During the day we drop the bait in 1500 feet of water plus, searching for
the swordfish. The reason for this depth is that swordfish are nocturnal
feeders. The fish settle to these deep depths of the ocean during the day.
It has been proven many times that swordfish still eat during the day. The
Cha Ching is equipped with the latest electric rod and reel combination to
enable you to fish where the swordfish are lurking during the day. The reel
used on the Cha Ching is a Diawa 3000 electric reel, which is state of the
art equipment for this style of fishing. The rod and reel offers you the
angler variable speed electric retrieve, electric line counter, very smooth
slide drag, and most importantly, the electric reel is equipped with a
cranking handle so you can fight the big sword manually.
As a
bonus, when day time swordfishing we also put out a fish for dolphin to
provide added action and table fair. Call us or email us for more
information.
