When the wind gusts it may lift the kite up, and the angler will have to adjust his bait accordingly. When using this technique it’s not uncommon to catch multiple fish in one happening, and every body can work a rod. Kite fishing entails using “fishing kites”, which fly up into the air and we attach our fishing lines to release clips on the heavier kite line.
We catch sailfish a few different ways including slow trolling live bait, sight fishing, as well as kite fishing.

We do recommend full days because that gives you much more time to fish and try different areas, but if a half day is all the time you have, that can be more than enough time to get in on the action many days. Since we are only fishing a few miles out many days, you even have a shot at catching fish on a half day fishing charter. We have tournament proven captains at Bud n’ Mary’s that can handle both the most serious fisherman as well as the first time family fishermen. A release mount is a fiberglass replica of your fish, custom painted to look just like yours did! Boat’s fly “release flags” in their outriggers at the end of the day to signify how many sailfish were caught that day. Since we don’t keep sailfish a picture in the water is usually the best way to remember your catch of a lifetime, or a “ Release Mount” is another beautiful option. A “release” is classified as touching the leader, which is a 15 foot piece of heavier mono filament attached to the lighter mainline. Sailfish are also thought to be the fastest fish in the entire ocean, reaching speeds up to 68 mph, so when you hook one you’re going to have a great fight on your hands! Since we use such light tackle there’s not too much drag or pressure on the tackle, so even kids can enjoy catching them! Sailfish average 30 – 60 lbs, and it’s all catch and release. You may feel like your not fishing because you don’t have any lines in the water, but this is still a very effective way to catch them. It’s almost like hunting, where the crew will ride in the tower of the Islamorada offshore charter boat and scan the waters for swimming fish. We’ll see them swimming in water as shallow as 20 feet and cast live baits at them. Another is that we literally “sight fish” for them inside the reef many days. One of them being sailfish are very acrobatic, jumping multiple times trying to throw the hook.
We use light tackle (12 – 20 lb test) and fish only 3 -5 miles offshore near the edge of the reef (anywhere from 20’ – 150’ of water). A couple things make fishing for sailfish extremely exciting. Sailfishing in Islamorada is one of the most exciting types of fishing in all of the Florida Keys.
