We're talking Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Bonito, Red Snapper, Grouper - the works! And don't sweat the gear - we've got everything you need to land a cooler full of fish. It's time to make some memories and maybe even set a new personal best!

What to Expect on the Water

Alright, here's the game plan: We'll kick things off by heading out to deeper waters where the pelagics are biting. Our crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll get you on the fish in no time. We'll start with some trolling for Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, and Bonito. These guys are fast and furious, so be ready for some real action when they hit! Once we've had our fill of the speedsters, we'll make our way to some killer nearshore spots. This is where things get really interesting - we're talking about dropping lines for Red Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, and Vermilion Snapper. Bottom fishing is an art, and our crew will show you the ropes. You'll be jigging and dropping like a pro in no time!

Top Catches This Season

Let's talk tackle and techniques. For our offshore run, we'll be using light to medium tackle with live bait or lures, depending on what's working best that day. Trolling is the name of the game here - we'll have lines out the back of the boat, skimming the surface for those aggressive strikes. When we switch to bottom fishing, it's all about precision. We'll use heavier gear to combat the current and get your bait right where it needs to be. Circle hooks are our go-to for snappers and groupers - they're great for catch and release if we hook into something we can't keep. And don't worry if you're new to this - our crew will walk you through every step, from baiting your hook to landing your catch.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Spanish Mackerel are the speedsters of the Gulf. These silver bullets are known for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. They're most active in the warmer months and put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. They're also delicious on the grill - firm, white meat with a slightly sweet flavor. King Mackerel, or "Kings" as we call 'em, are the big brothers of the Spanish. These toothy predators can grow over 5 feet long and are prized for their powerful runs. They're a blast to catch on light tackle and make for some epic photos.

Red Snapper is the crown jewel of Gulf bottom fishing. With their bright red color and tasty white flesh, they're always a favorite among our guests. They love structure, so we'll be targeting reefs and wrecks to find these beauties. The fight starts as soon as you set the hook - they'll try to dive back to their hidey-holes, so be ready to put your back into it! Grouper are the heavyweights of the reef. These brutes will test your arms and your drag, trying to muscle their way back to the bottom. But man, when you get one to the boat, it's a sight to behold. They can grow to over 100 pounds, and even the smaller ones put up a memorable fight.

Bonito, also known as Little Tunny, are often overlooked but are one of the most fun fish to catch in the Gulf. They're lightning fast and will make your reel sing. While they're not the best for eating, they make excellent bait for bigger predators. Triggerfish are the oddballs of the reef. With their distinctive shape and powerful jaws, they're a unique catch. They're crafty little devils, known for stealing bait, but when you hook one, you're in for a surprisingly strong fight for their size. Plus, they're excellent eating - sweet, flaky meat that's a favorite among locals.
