About Your Trip

The fertile waters around Port St. Joe and Cape San Blass are home to some of the largest & most plentiful Tripletail in the South. Tripletail are one of the absolute best fish to sight cast, very hard fighters, cooperative eaters, and some of the best table fare you can find! It’s surprising how many people have never heard of or even seen a tripletail.

The best description to someone that has never seen one is basically a prehistoric dinosaur-looking bream on steroids with razor-sharp gill plates, sharp fins, and well, 3 tails. Some people think they are gorgeous, some people think they are odd-looking but no one can deny how tasty they are! Tripletail are opportunistic feeders that lie motionless until their prey comes close and they strike rapidly. They feed on fish and benthic crustaceans, including gulf menhaden, Atlantic bumper, glass minnows, swimming red crabs, anchovies, shrimp, and squid.

Captain Taft will be with you every step of the way to ensure that you have a safe & memorable experience! His 2016 25’ Sportsman Platinum Masters 247 center console is powered by a 300HP Yamaha motor, it can accommodate 4 to 5 anglers (depending on size). It comes equipped with GPS, fishfinder, wireless trolling motor, live bait tank, an ice box, and is equipped with necessary USCG safety gear... Captain Taft's number one goal is to keep you safe!

Don't forget to bring drinks and food, sunscreen and sunglasses, and a cooler for your fish! Otherwise, Captain Taft will take care of the rest!
