The Benefits of Charter Fishing

Charter fishing offers a number of advantages, even for skilled fisherman, such as the ability to take advantage of a larger boat that can head out into offshore waters for a different kind of fishing experience. If you are thinking about a charter fishing outing, here are some of the many reasons they have become so popular:

Getting pampered. Hooking up and unhooking up your boat to the trailer and getting out in the water, as well as making sure you have all the supplies you need is time-consuming and a part of every fishing trip. With charter fishing, all those responsibilities fall to the charter captain and crew. All you have to do is show up ready for fishing.

Getting educated. Many charter captains have years of experience fishing in the area and can share with you their encyclopedic knowledge of hot spots and the what lures will attract which fish. It's like an outing with a fishing Ph. D. Decide whether you want a party charter with a group of friends or a one-on-one session.

Getting fish. How many times have you spent an entire day casting from a pier or moving around to different locations without catching a single fish? It happens to everyone. Charter captains know that they aren't going to get much repeat business if their charter fishing outings don't bring in some fish. They will rely on all of their experience to find a spot where the fish are biting, as well as sophisticated radar or sonar to find schools of fish.

Bring a friend. A charter fishing trip is a great way to expose someone to the fishing experience. Or perhaps you have a child or spouse or friend who didn't quite understand the lure of fishing during a trip that netted no fish. Charter fishing is likely to be a more impressive experience because it's usually more comfortable and there's a much greater chance of having the excitement of catching fish.

Don’t Miss the Best Event in Tennis- the Sony Open Tennis Miami 2014!

Widely considered to be the best event in March, the Sony Open Tennis 2014 arrives next week! Scheduled for March 17th through the 30th, it will be held at the Crandon Tennis Center in Key Biscayne, Miami. The two-week combined event is owned and operated by IMG. The Sony Open is one of nine ATP Masters 1000 Series events on the ATP calendar, a Premier Mandatory event on the WTA calendar, and features the top men's and women's tennis players in the world.

In 2013 Andy Murray defeated David Ferrer for his second Sony Open title, while Serena Williams knocked off Maria Sharapova to capture her record sixth title in Miami. Williams opening match will kick-off an exciting weekend of tennis which will include ATP World No. 2 Novak Djokovic taking the court on Friday, March 21 (Session 7) and World No. 1 Rafael Nadal making his return to Miami on Saturday, March 22 (Session 10).

Last year, Williams claimed her sixth title in Miami, surpassing Steffi Graff for the most by any woman in Sony Open history and tying Andre Agassi for the most by any player all-time. This year, to hold the most wins in Sony Open history, Williams will have to navigate an impressive player field including Australian Open winner Li Na, four-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova, two-time Sony Open champion Victoria Azarenka and many more.

Not to be outdone, the men’s player field is even more impressive with 17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer, defending Sony Open champion Andy Murray, Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka and former US Open champion Juan Martin del Porto all entered to play.

But the Sony Open is not just a tennis tournament, it is a lifestyle event. The Sony Open offers a range of activities for the entire family.
