The most common things targeted on my charter are:


alt

Snook

The old linesider is by far my favorite game fish to catch. They are distingishable by the black line that runs from their head to their tail. They like to congregate on the mangrove shorelines and are the premium shallow water game fish. As water temperatures drop they can commonly be found up in rivers and inlets.

Redfish

Redfish are known for their bronze body and black spot on their tail. When they feed in shallow water you can often see the tips of their tails poking out of the water. When you see "tailing" reds cast ahead of them.

Spotted Trout

Spotted Sea Trout is one of the most sought after of the Florida game fishes. They can be a lot of fun on light tackle and can be found on almost all of the Florida coastal waters.

Jacks

Jack Crevalle is a fun fish to land. They chase bait fish and crash into their targets. A well placed lure or baitfish will surely induce a strike. Once they strike it is pull pull pull.

Spanish Mackerel

Absolutely one of the best light tackle fish out there. They can pull some line off of the reel in a real hurry. Use wire for a leader, these fish have teeth that can shred monofilament leaders.

Tarpon

The silver king. The gulf coasts largest and toughest game fish. When you hook a tarpon be ready to watch the show. This fish will break water, do flips in the air, then go right back to pulling you right out of your seat. This fish is sought after because of the intense knock-out, drag-out fight it offers.
