Barracuda
Flyfishing and light tackle sight fishing for Barracuda on the pristine backcountry
and ocean flats surrounding Key West.
Due to their unjustified reputation as having menacing personalities,
and being an overly easy catch, the Barracuda is regrettably one of the least pursued
flats fish. In reality, they provide one of the most rewarding fights with extremely
intense strikes, great runs and jumps.
Casting to Barracuda in a
foot of crystal clear water and then having them trounce on your fly or lure will be a
moment you will not easily forget! A typical setup is an 8 to 10 weight fly rod or an 8 to
12 pound spinning rig.
