Visiting Dry Tortugas National Park

Visiting Dry Tortugas National Park: Some 70 miles west of Key West Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico, lies one of North America's most inaccessible national parks. Renowned for pirate legends, shipwrecks, and sheer unspoiled beauty, Dry Tortugas National Park harbors unrivaled coral reefs and marine life, an annual birding spectacle, and majestic Fort Jefferson, the largest masonry stronghold in the Western Hemisphere. Getting There Accessible only by boat or seaplane, just 60,000 visitors make it to Dry Tortugas National Park each year. Compare that to the more than 330 million people who visited America's national parks last year. But it's really no surprise when you consider what's involved just getting there. The jumping off point is Key West, Florida, and from there, you can choose between an all-day boat ride, and half- or full-day seaplane trips, assuming you don't have your own vessel. Pre-Flight When I visited Dry Tortugas National Park, I opted for the seaplane flight and checked in at the Key West Seaplane Adventures office at 7:30 for an 8:00 am flight. Even though it was late March, the sun was just rising, and filtered by wisps of pink and orange clouds. When the remaining nine passengers arrived, we received our briefing, were introduced to our pilot, and then walked out on to the tarmac together to board the DHC-3 DeHavilland Turbine Otter Amphibian. The plane can carry 10 passengers plus the pilot…and when the co-pilot seat was offered up, I literally jumped at the opportunity! Our pilot has been flying to and from Dry Tortugas for years. He would make five trips to and from Dry Tortugas that day…and after dropping us off, his early morning return flight to Key West would be a solo one. Ready for Takeoff Once we had our seat belts fastened, and perhaps more importantly, our headphones on, the pilot began to narrate our early morning adventure as we taxied out on to the runway. I fired up my video camera…and before I knew it we were airborne heading due east into the morning sun, and just as quickly banking south, then west for a bird's eye view of Key West. It was only then that I had the exhilarating realization I would be setting down in a place I'd only been able to conjure in my imagination — turquoise waters, green sea turtles, bright coral, frigate birds, shipwrecks, and a coastal fortress some 170 years old. The co-pilot's seat offered the perfect view of Key West, its hotels, Duvall Street and Mallory Square, which quickly faded from view. The pilot pumped some music into our headphones…though I wasn't quite sure what to make of his first selection: Tom Petty's “Free Fallin'”! Flying at at 130 knots, we were quickly over an area called the “Flats,” a body of shallow water just 3–5 feet deep extending almost 20 miles to the west. Flying at just 500 feet above the water, these shallows are teeming with Loggerhead turtles and you could clearly see dozens of them swimming about as we cruised overhead. 25 miles out, we flew directly over Marquesas Islands, a coral atoll…and then over an area called the “Quicksands.” Here the water is 30 feet deep with a sea bed of constantly shifting sand dunes. This is where treasure hunter Mel Fisher found the Spanish Galleons Antocha and Margarita — and more than a half a billion dollars of gold and silver strewn across an eight mile area. They continue to work the site, and even today, there are regular finds of huge Spanish Emeralds. But it wasn't long from my vantage point in the cockpit before I could begin to make out Fort Jefferson on Garden Key, and further west, the lighthouse on Loggerhead Key. Fort Jefferson, a massive but unfinished coastal fortress, is the largest brick masonry structure in the Americas. Composed of over 16 million bricks, the building covers 16 acres. Florida was acquired from Spain (1819–1821) by the United States, which considered the 75 mile stretch connecting the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Ocean important to protect, since anyone who occupied the area could seize control of the trade routes along the Gulf Coast. Construction of Fort Jefferson began on Garden Key in 1847, and although more than $250,000 had been spent by 1860, the fort was never finished. As the largest 19th century American masonry coastal fort, it also served as a remote prison facility during the Civil War. The most famous inmate was Dr. Samuel Mudd, who set the leg of John Wilkes Booth following the assassination of President Lincoln. Mudd was convicted of conspiracy and was imprisoned on the Dry Tortugas from 1865 to 1869. The fort continued to serve as a military prison until 1874. Almost There… Our pilot banked the De Havilland to the right, providing a spectacular view of the islands and Fort Jefferson, heading the seaplane into the wind for the smoothest landing I've ever experienced — on land or sea — gently skimming the surface, and we glided effortlessly across the turquoise waters and headed towards shore. One more roar of the engines, a quick turn, and we were up on the beach ready to disembark. We arrived about 8:30 AM…and aside from the 10 passengers on board, a half dozen campers at one end of the Garden Key, and a few National Park Service employees, we had the island to ourselves. As I watched the seaplane take off, heading back to Key West, it struck me just how isolated we were in this remote ocean wilderness. I imagined the islands didn't look much different to Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, credited for discovering the islands in 1531. He named them Las Tortugas, or “The Turtles,” as the islands and surrounding waters were aswarm with loggerhead , hawksbill, leatherback, and green turtles. For nearly three hundred years, pirates raided not only passing ships, but relied on turtles for meat and eggs and also pilfered the nests of roosting sooty and noddy terns. Nautical charts began to show that The Tortugas were dry — due to the lack of fresh water — and eventually the islands were renamed as The Dry Tortugas. Taking advantage of the early morning light, I headed inside the fort, making my way up the spiral staircase, and stepped out of the old Garden Key lighthouse built in 1825. The lighthouse is no longer in use, since the “new” 167 foot tall lighthouse on Loggerhead Key, completed in 1858, continues to flash its beacon to mariners, warning of the shallow waters. The view from atop of Fort Jefferson provided a spectacular 360 degree panorama. And besides the few spits of land that make up the park, there was nothing but sky and sea in every direction. About the Park Dry Tortugas National Park, situated at the farthest end of the Florida Keys, is closer to Cuba than to the American mainland. A cluster of seven islands, composed mostly of sand and coral reefs, just 93 of the park's 64,000 acres are above water. The three easternmost keys are simply spits of white coral sand, while 49-acre Loggerhead Key, three miles out, marks the western edge of the island chain. The park's sandy keys are in a constant state of flux — shaped by tides and currents, weather and climate. In fact, four islands completely disappeared between 1875 and 1935, a testament to the fragility of the ecosystem. The Dry Tortugas are recognized for their near-pristine natural resources including seagrass beds, fisheries, and sea turtle and bird nesting habitat. The surrounding coral reefs make up the third-largest barrier reef system outside of Australia and Belize. President Franklin D. Roosevelt established Fort Jefferson National Monument under the Antiquities Act on January 4, 1935. It was expanded to it's current size in 1983, when the monument was re-designated by an act of Congress as Dry Tortugas National Park on October 26, 1992. Its charter: to protect the island and marine environment, to preserve Fort Jefferson and submerged cultural resources such as shipwrecks. Just 100 yards or so from Fort Jefferson is Bush Key. Home to a diverse collection of birds that frequent the islands, it features a mix of mangrove, sea oats, bay cedar, sea grape and prickly pear cactus, reflecting the original character of the islands. A great wildlife spectacle occurs each year between February and September, when as many as 100,000 sooty terns travel from the Caribbean Sea and west-central Atlantic Ocean to nest on the islands of the Dry Tortugas. Brown noddies, roseate terns, double-crested cormorants, brown pelicans and the Magnificent frigatebird, with its 7-foot wingspan, breed here as well. Although Bush Key was closed to visitors when I visited, hundreds, if not thousands of birds filled the skies and the sounds of their screeches and calls filled the otherwise tranquil surroundings. There is no water, food, bathing facilities, supplies, or public lodging (other than camping on Garden Key) in the park. All visitors, campers, and boaters are required to pack out whatever they pack in, so the National Park Service created a wi-fi hotspot — only at the dock — where you can scan a QR code and download a variety of PDFs to your phone or tablet. It's an idea that's bound to catch on with so many mobile devices, reducing the need to print (and throw away) paper brochures. Inside Fort Jefferson, a small visitor's center has a few exhibits and shows a short video. I stepped across the entranceway, and found an equally small office that houses the National Park Service employees who maintain and manage the park. Some of the best snorkeling in North America Although I was only on the half-day seaplane trip, I still had enough time for a quick swim and snorkel on the west side of Garden Key. In the late 1800s, the US Navy built piers and coaling warehouses for refueling, but strong storms destroyed them, leaving only their underpinnings. These pilings, and the deeper water of the dredged channel, now offer an excellent opportunity to see larger fish like tarpon, grouper, barracuda…as well as the occasional shark. Multi-colored sea fans swayed in the gentle current. Colorful reef fish — with their vivid and boldly patterned reds, yellows, greens and blues — were camouflaged amongst the bright coral and sea grasses. Today, turtle populations have diminished, but you may still be able to see green, loggerhead, hawksbill, and leatherback sea turtles. As I walked back to the changing rooms at the dock, the seaplane for my return flight was just landing and I realized my time at Dry Tortugas was coming to an end. If I ever have a chance to get back, I would definitely opt for the full day trip. A week later, after returning home to Colorado and was shoveling snow off of the driveway, a small plane passed overhead and I suddenly thought of my flight to Dry Tortugas : the bright sun, the crystal clear waters, the abundant life — above and below the water's surface — a surreal landscape so captivating, so remote, that even having seen it with my own eyes, I still somehow could barely imagine it.

How much does a fishing charter cost in Key West?

Usually the bigger the boat, the higher the cost.  This is due to a few factors.

Bigger boats need more gas which is very expensive

Do you tip the crew?

Yes, it is customary to tip the mate for helping with your fishing activity all day.  They usually earn most of their income through tips.  Most times they will clean and fillet your catch if you want.  We recommend around 10% for tipping the mates, especially if they were hustling all day making sure you were hooking fish.

If you like to go into the deep waters in search of ocean giants, Florida has it all. It borders the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east and is also very popular with anglers. It has some of the best fishing in the country and is one of its most popular fishing destinations.

The diversity of fish in southwest Florida is amazing, making it a great place for a wide range of anglers to explore. Florida has many great fishing spots off the coast that can be the perfect place for a family getaway.

Here you will find some of the best summer fish you can catch in southwest Florida, as well as some great fishing spots off the Florida coast. Many anglers swear by the beautiful beaches of Fort Myers and the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

While fly fishing is very popular, bait and artificial fish are more common, but it is easy to catch one either way. A timeless option is the plastic worm, which is immensely popular in Florida and is good for catching bass. To make sure you don't stick to potty-licking, you can book a fishing guide for the best summer fishing in the state of Florida.

Learn about the best fish to catch in the state of Florida in our summer fishing guide and find out what to look out for in Florida's most popular fishing areas.

A stray cold front could slow things down a bit, but tarpon are there and they're big and eating really well. Snook can be caught in the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida Keys, as well as in the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

In March, I caught tarpon using chumming techniques, and backcountry anglers often fish in the shallow mudflats. Backland and bay boats are super versatile and set out on their own, but always use a good tide to get permission to fish shallow.

Snappers can be caught all year round, but the best action is between June and November, as the larger fish migrate from the offshore reefs to the bays during the summer months to spawn.

Snappers eat live shrimp and bait fish as well as other fish such as crabs, snappers and other small crabs and shrimp.

big-mouth bass, black cappie and Bluegill is one of the St. Johns River's main attractions for freshwater fishermen. Snook are aggressive fish that fight hard and are among the most coveted - after fish in Florida waters. Florida's waters are home to a variety of snook, snapper and other small fish species.

There is also a speckled trout fishery, and black drums are also caught seasonally in the mudflats. Several species of saltwater fish are found in the river as it flows, as tides bring brackish water back into the rivers, creating an ecosystem at the estuary that stretches south into the distance. As a result, the upper region of the St. Johns River is home to some of Florida's most popular freshwater fish, such as giant mullet, black cappie and bluethroat.

In the summer, Snook could land in the St. Johns River as well as the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean.

The cold weather makes Snook inactive, so if you want to catch them next, look for warm weather in summer. Captain John of Floating Time Charters is well versed in local species, including SnOOK, and can advise you on the best time to go fishing near Daytona Beach. Whether you are fishing the surf or the pristine white sandy beaches, you can fish freshwater, river and lake. Take a vacation in the eternally sunny state and head out into the deep blue to fish for snook and other fish.

Common Snook is one of five species of SnOOK found in Florida, along with Common Snook, Bluethroat, Redfish, Blackbird and Whitefish.

Approximately 10 - 14 inches long, the young Snook leave the upper and lower salt estuaries and head for higher salt estuaries. They can also be found deeper in the water, making them an option for golfers looking for wahoo.

Blackfin tuna is one of the hardest-fighting, hard-to-catch fish in Florida, and they are often related to reef wrecks and as such, structured hard ledges. These small cousins of yellowfins can be caught in spring and early summer, which is a good time to target them.

Redfish often stay in the grass and feed during the time when the fish look for the waves of the dolphins. Also on the east coast of Florida there is a good chance to catch redfish in summer, as their numbers are enormous. The slick season allows for great catch in late summer and early autumn, and night fishing for snook on illuminated docks is excellent.

New Post has been published on https://floridaindependent.com/angling-in-the-sunshine-state-9-awesome-spots-for-fishing-in-florida/

Angling in the Sunshine State: 9 Awesome Spots for Fishing in Florida

To all the anglers out there, it’s time to turn your attention to the state of Florida.

We’ve always known that Florida is a beautiful place with lots of water, beaches, and tropical vibes. It’s a wonderful place to visit for people of all interests, but we’re here to talk about why Florida is one of the best fishing spots in, not only America but the world.

Today, we’re going to go over some of the finest spots for fishing in Florida. Most anglers are going to head out into the ocean, but whether you’re into offshore fishing or inshore fishing, the Sunshine State has got something for you. Let’s check out some of the best spots.

The Best Fishing in Florida

Florida’s a big state with a lot of fish. If you’re looking for somewhere to chill out, spend some time on the river, lake, or ocean, then enjoy the nightlife in a world-class destination, Florida is your spot. Here are our 9 favorite spots to fish in Florida.

1. Key West

Key West isn’t just a great fishing destination, it’s one of the biggest tourist hotspots in Florida.

As one of Hemingway’s favorite fishing destinations, Key West boasts incredible natural beauty to go with its array of underwater inhabitants. You’ll be able to try out some offshore fishing, as well as some flats, where you’ll notice a lot of bonefish, marlin, tarpon, and tuna. 

You can either take off on an adventure of your own or hire one of the many fishing boats and guides that are happy to give you a hand for a fee.

2. Blackwater River

Up in the panhandle, you’ll find Blackwater River flowing into Blackwater Bay. It’s a 56-mile river that starts in Alabama’s Conecuh National Forest and enters Florida in Okaloosa County.

This river has 3 public boat ramps to launch out on and lots of sandy white beaches to lounge on in your downtime. It’s a popular spot, so you might have trouble finding solitude during the busy season, but it’s well worth a try.

You’ll be able to find striped, largemouth, spotted, and sunshine bass, as well as, bluegill, sunfish, sea trout, and channel catfish on the Blackwater. 

3. Lake Okeechobee

Avid bass fisherman will have heard of Lake Okeechobee in south-central Florida. It’s one of the most popular lakes for bass fishing tournaments in the whole of the US and you can see why. The thing is massive and it’s rife with bass.

Because of its popularity, there are tons of resorts and campsites available on the grounds, making it a great spot to bring the whole family. If you’re flying in for the first time, there are boat rentals and guides that can point out the best spots to launch the reel.

4. Apalachicola River

Another panhandle gem is the bass-rich Apalachicola River. At 106 miles, it’s one of Florida’s longest rivers, which flows out of gorgeous Lake Seminole down to the Gulf of Mexico. 

It’s got every type of bass you can shake an Ugly Stik at, but the bigger fellas disappear from the Upper River in the heat of the summer. There are lots of boat landings to launch from, so you can drive up and down to find your optimal spot.

5. Sanibel Island

Visitors of Sanibel Island, off the west coast near Fort Myers, will be treated to ridiculous views of Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It’s another great place to take the family but offers much in the way of offshore fishing, inshore fishing, and saltwater fly-fishing.

Coastal offshore fishing will net you tarpon, snook, shark, redfish, snapper, among others. When you get further out, you’ll see grouper, hogfish, African pompano, and more shark. 

Fly-fishers will enjoy Sanibel year-round, where they can catch snapper, ladyfish, kingfish, flounder, and barracuda.

6. Destin

Florida’s largest fishing fleet resides in Destin, making it one of the hottest fishing destinations in America. With 140 vessels for hire, you’ll never have to worry about being left in the dust of other anglers.

When you’re out at sea, you’ll catch amberjack, tuna, sailfish, snapper, and even blue marlin. If you’re just out for a nice relaxing vacation, sit out on the pier and watch the day go by. The blue sea and bluer skies make for an extremely chilled out time.

7. Mosquito Lagoon

Mosquito Lagoon doesn’t have the most welcoming name, but being the redfish capital of the world, you should probably go for a visit.

In all seriousness, this gorgeous lagoon system is built for inshore anglers. It’s got grassy flats, islands, sandbars, and mangrove shorelines in the southern part. In the northern part, it’s got 10 miles of winding maze-like waterways.

8. Miami

Miami is an incredible city with lots to do, but the fishing doesn’t get enough hype if you ask us. The local anglers know that this is the perfect spot to get out on the ocean and catch some mahi-mahi, amberjack, and tuna. Rent out a boat and see for yourself with Double Threat Charters or The Reward Fleet.

The inshore fishing offers incredible night fishing trips where you can catch tarpon, permit, and bonefish. Use the city lights to guide your way around the bridges and cast under the cover of darkness. It’s a truly unique experience.

9. Key Largo

Let’s go back to the Keys for our last Florida fishing destination. Key Largo is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the state and it doubles as one of the best spots to fish.

Native fishing gurus would be quick to recommend this spot for its variety of sea creatures and the natural beauty that you can immerse yourself in. This makes it great for both leisure trips or serious anglers.

Here, you’ll find a load of freshwater fish like snook, bonefish, and tarpon. 

Choose What Suits You

Fishing in Florida is like country music in Nashville or soul food in New Orleans. It’s one of the great fishing states in our country and there are so many options for your next fishing trip that you’ll just have to keep coming back. Pack up your gear, get your family ready, and head to one of these destinations this summer.

Prime fishing spots

Key West is a good fishing destination for flat fishing and angling. Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit are available in the flat waters around this region. The waters are calm here without any chopping tides and are teeming with fish. Marquesas Keys Rock Piles is another favorite destination in Florida for bottom fishing. Fishes like snapper and Grouper lie in the rocky bottoms here. Be patient enough and sometimes you can catch Barracuda, sharks and King Mackerel also here.

Marathon Humps is ideal for deep sea fishing Florida and welcomes only the best anglers. It is an angling paradise where the water depth runs up to 500 ft. This deep water fishing is a spot to bait yellowfin, blackfin, tuna, sailfish, marlin, Wahoo and Mahi.  Test your patience and stamina as deep sea fishing lasts a few hours.

Fishing charters often take guests on shore for half day and full day trips but if you need to spend an extra day, find fishing charters that can customize their trip according to your plan. The professional and friendly fishing charter crew will make your fishing trips memorable.
