The Gulf Coast of Florida and Florida, generally, offers a wide variety of fish species. We specialize in targeting a few different species:

• Snook: We often sight fish to these and find snook cruising beaches, back in the mangroves, and on dock lights. A fun gamefish that often ranges between 18-30” but can be found over 40”. The state record is 44 lbs. 3 oz.

• Tarpon: The Silver King. Incredibly powerful fish that often explode out of the water, Tarpon are one of the most sought after fish in Florida. In the summer months, we have chains of larger migratory fish which can be 125 lbs. or more and year-round we have local tarpon that often range between 30-80 lbs. The state record is 243 lbs.

• Redfish/Red Drum: A beautiful fish you can sometime see feeding on the flats by looking for the telltale tails out of the water. We sight fish to these often and when you see a pod of “tailers” it can be a blast. We often find them 16-24 inches, but they can get much larger, up to 50+”. The state record is 52 lbs. 5 oz.

• Spotted Seatrout/Speckled Trout: We find these on the flats often in sand flat potholes, rock or oyster bed structures, and in seagrass. Unlike their freshwater cousins, they have a pair of large canine teeth on their top jaw. Often found 12-18 inches, but can get up to 35+”. The state record is 17 lbs. 7 oz.

• Tripletail: Often found around floating structure, such as crab buoys, and around channel markers, they are a wild-looking fish that often turns sideways and flutters when it eats. They are often found from 12-20” but can be found up to 40+”. The state record is 40.8 lbs.

• Mangrove Snapper: As the name implies, we often find these in mangroves, hiding around structure, and on dock lights. We generally see these from 10-15” but they can get up to 24”. The state record is 17 lbs.

• Crevalle Jack: The most common jack found in our area. Often 2-4 lbs. but can be found up to 20 lbs. from time to time. Running into a school of jacks chasing bait can lead to some wild times will multiple hookups and fast runs. State record is 57lbs.

• Florida Pompano: Are found inshore, especially along sandy beaches, oyster bars and over seagrass beds, often in turbid water depending on the time of the year and the temperature. We don’t see these year round, but when the bite is on, it can be a blast. The state record is 8 lb. 4 oz.

• Cobia: We find these cruising behind rays and round buoys and other structure. They can get pretty big (up to six feet), but we usually see them between 15-30 pounds.

• Sharks: We have Blacknose, Blacktip, Bonnethead, and Spinner sharks in our area. Blacknose sharks typically range between 3-4 feet, with smaller sharks found on the flats we fish and larger sharks found in deeper water. Blacktip sharks get a little bigger (up to 5-6 feet) and will venture inshore when feeding. Bonnethead sharks are the smallest of the Hamerhead family and grow up to 3 feet. Spinner sharks max out at around 7-8 feet, are very fast, and often jump out of the water and spin (hence the name).

Many of the species are better at certain times of the year than others. If there is a certain species or a few different species you would like to target during your trip, please let us know and we will try to accommodate.
