"#Catch of the Day – 7 ‘Reel-y’ Great Places to Go Sea Fishing" Sea fishing is becoming increasingly popular, whether it’s from the shore or by boat. Sea fishing differs in that there are more factors affecting your success such as weather fronts, tides, light, seasons and features such as seaweed and varying water depths. There are some amazing habitats out there and whole oceans of countless fish varieties to discover. Here are some of the best spots around the world: #1 Key West, Florida Any angler worth his salt knows why Key West makes it onto this list. Sitting in the middle of prime fishing ground, you’ll discover reefs, sparkling clear water and stunning surroundings. Fishing is what makes this place tick so there’s no shortage of guides and charters to take you out onto the sea. What to do when you’re not fishing? Sample all the glorious, fresh sea food on offer here, of course. Key West offers year-round fishing, even when the seas get a bit rougher in winter, there’s tarpon to be found in the harbor. #2 Cabo San Lucas, Mexico There is no long trek out into open waters at this destination. Great catches happen only a couple miles from shore, including dorado, marlin, wahoo, tuna and sailfish. You can fish here any time of year and there are many charter fleets available.

Some people here will boast that Cabo offers the best sportfishing in the world, with incredibly fertile waters and the good chance of catching a much bigger than expected fish! #3 Nova Scotia, Canada It might be chillier than heading to Mexico so why would you fish here? Because the biggest world-record bluefin tuna was caught here in 1979, weighing a colossal 1,496 pounds! If size matters to you, you’ve got more chance catching a whopper in these waters, with fish regularly exceeding 1000 pounds and averaging around 800.
