Cold water fishing!! We've been using shrimp for the last month now and the crustacean crushers are chewing good! Plenty of eating fish for our guests plus some fun catch and release groupers. Spring is right around the corner as pilchards are beginning to show up and we will be switching gears to snook and redfish! King fish season is knocking on the door too!! Book your adventure today!

Black Sea Bass have moved in to the closer nearshore ledges and reefs. All of this fishing is done inside of 25mi so no need to stay all day as the 6hr trip is perfect. They're very delicious to eat and you'll have plenty of bycatch between gag groupers, red snappers, triggerfish and other bottom dwellers.

gag grouper and most folks think ??? Offshore w/Federal Permits & Credentials No Problem - plenty of reefs and rocks in 60-plus feet of Gulf of Mexico waters hold progressively more and bigger fish, coastal rocks in 50-100 feet of water host impressive populations of adult gag grouper (many keeper size) that will absolutely blast a bait well within eyesight. Live offerings are easiest and our Pelagic TEAMs know that a well full of pinfish usually equates to a day of arm-stretching, eye-popping fun. Considering how an Offshore Angler’s first look at a gag grouper generally amounts to a whipped fish languishing at boat side, the Gulf water deal shows you the true beast the dwells within this fish.

Nearshore and inshore fishing has been on fire. We have been seeing some big schools of redfish moving through our waters. Snook are cruising the rocks in the jetties. Nearshore fishing has been fun. Gag groupers, lane snappers, mangroves and muttons too! Super fun on light tackle!

2024 Fishing Update Fall Season is one of the best seasons for fishing, as many fish are migrating towards warmer waters. Not only that, but there are usually fewer people on the water, and the weather is relatively mild. So, if you still need to plan a fall fishing trip, take this as your sign to do so! We have been Delivering The Results & Exceeding Expectations for over 16 years Tampa / St. Pete / Clearwater, Florida, is a fantastic fishing spot during the autumn months. With plenty of bays, inlets, and crystal-clear water, inshore fishing is incredible & being FULLY Credentialized & Holding ALL Federal Permits Offshore is ideal for significant results. During the fall season, you can land Spanish Mackerel, big Red Grouper, Hog Fish, Wahoo, Snapper and Cobia – among other Pelagic Species. Plus, it's a great time to catch Kingfish offshore, as they're in the middle of their annual migration thru December which is perfect for fishing enthusiasts looking for an unforgettable experience in a beautiful setting for the warm Florida Holidays. The area is ideal for both inshore & offshore fishing during the fall months. We get it done! Definitely Deliver the Results Exceed Expectations!!
