At various times a year ,shrimp boats will congregate in the water north of Key West. There is often a long run to get to the shrimp boats sometimes over 70 miles,but it can be so worth it. The shrimp boats net a ton of bycatch in their nightly drags and in the morning it is up to the crew to separate out all the non-shrimp caught in the net. This amounts to a lot of chum being thrown in the water ,a real lot. Often there will be several shrimpers in teh same area,and the amount of fish that come in to feed on the chum is fantastic. Hundreds of sharks,tuna and bonito will school up behind these boats eating everything.
Its extremely exciting fishing,but can be pricy due to the sheer distance involved.
