Florida Keys Boater, Artificial Bait or Natural Bait

Would you go with Artificial Bait or Natural Bait for South Florida Fishing?

Question?

Q: First time question. We are heading out for a weekend of fishing down in the lower Keys next weekend. We plan to fish during the day and hitting Duval for nighttime fun. While we do watch the Florida fishing reports, we are new to the fishing around Key West and want to know which way to go: Artificial Bait or Natural Bait? All right now, that is my pending problem.

All right now, a heartfelt thank you. Keep pushing forward.

A: Come on in, oh interesting. A nice one to think about. The fishing and boating in the Lower Keys is just the best vacation and boating experience in Florida. The answer is simple. If you have the skill and ability to get at natural bait, go for it. Natural bait is best if you can keep it alive and hook it correctly to keep it alive. When you catch natural bait and use it in the same environment, the number of fish landed goes up (in general) as compared to artificial bait. Go with finger mullet, shrimp, pinfish, squid, and pinfish to catch the widest variety of editable fish in the Lower Keys. Alrighty, a solid approach. Back to you.

All right now, fun is in the challenge you bring. Keep the fight.
