Key West Fishing Charters Offer Discounts for Cobia Trips

Feb. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Clear water and a full moon last month made conditions for Key West fishing superb for wahoo hunters seeking a big thrill.   The group discounts are offered as part of a seasonal promotion aimed at showing visitors the thrill of catching cobia in Key West, an often overlooked species in the world of salt water fishing in the Florida Keys.

While serious salt water anglers have always made special trips to Key West to target sailfish each winter, few come just to target cobia.    Key West Fishing captains are offering the new promotional discount and seeking to offer these visitors something a little different.  The seek to widen the horizon of fishing tourists who come back to the Southernmost City year after year for Key West sailfishing on the reef and beyond, in the blue water.   The discounts are an incentive to try cobia fishing and can be combined with other Key West travel discounts available at http://www.key-west-fl-florida.com to make an affordable tropical Key West vacation this winter, despite budgetary constraints almost everyone is feeling lately.

Cobia fishing is often done in the Gulf waters, north of Key West.  Cobia can get to well over thirty pounds and taste delicious.  They stack up on the wrecks in large groups and can be great fun even if they are under thirty pounds.  On light tackle, even the smaller cobia are great fighters and loads of fun to reel in.

For even more thrills, it's widely known that when you go Cobia fishing in Key West, FL Florida, you may also get some bull sharks in the mix.  If you've never hooked a bull shark, you might want to consider trying it just once.  "They put up a heck of a fight, and are possibly the strongest fighting fish to catch after the makos" says Harold Garrantry, a long time Key West fisherman who looks forward to targeting cobia in the Gulf every year.  "I don't know what could make a better day than going out to the Gulf and hooking up on a group of cobia, with a few bulls in the mix to liven things up even more!" Said Mr. Garrantry with a gleam in his eye.  If you're traveling with land-lubbers, he recommends checking out http://www.key-west-vacations.net for other activities.

The special cobia promotion is offered by a group of Key West charter fishing boats who operate under the umbrella company called Key West Snorkeling Co.  With surprisingly calm seas so far this winter, and cobia trip discounts , the travel company is hoping to entice vacationers to plan the perfect fishing trip getaway this winter.  The discounts for cobia trips are available by visiting the website http://key-west-fishing.org and booking the trip online.  The fishing discounts also come with price guarantees,which means if you can find the trip elsewhere for a cheaper price, they'll match it and even do better: a 110% price guarantee, it's called.
