Fishing Techniques & Hotspots

On this trip, we'll be using a mix of bottom fishing and trolling to target a variety of species. For bottom fishing, we'll drop lines baited with squid or cut bait to entice grouper and amberjack hanging around reefs and wrecks. When we're trolling, we'll drag lures or live bait behind the boat to catch fast-moving fish like King Mackerel and Mahi Mahi. Captain Jeremy knows all the local hotspots, from natural reefs to artificial structures that attract big fish. He'll switch up tactics throughout the day to keep the action hot and give you the best shot at a cooler full of fish.

What Anglers Are Saying

"We had a great time fishing with Captain Jeremy. We had never been charter fishing before and my son had requested to go, so we booked the trip. Captain Jeremy taught us the basics and kept us going with our lines in the water and reeling in the fish. He was excellent as far as communication before and after the trip (sending us the pics of our catches and thanking us for the booking). He even let my son play his music on the boats bluetooth radio. I would definitely book with him again." - Matthew

Species You'll Want to Hook

Red Snapper: These tasty bottom-dwellers are a Gulf Coast favorite. Known for their bright red color and delicious white flesh, Red Snapper put up a good fight and can grow to impressive sizes. They typically hang out near reefs and wrecks, and when you hook one, be ready for a battle - they'll try to dive back to their rocky homes. The best time to target them is during the federally regulated season, which usually runs in the summer months.

Gag Grouper: Gags are the bulldogs of the reef. These powerful fish love to hang out in rocky areas and around structures, using their strength to pull you right back into their hidey-holes if you're not quick on the reel. They can grow over 50 pounds, and landing a big one is always a thrill. Gag Grouper season typically runs in the cooler months, making them a great target for fall and winter trips.

King Mackerel: Also known as Kingfish, these speedsters are a blast to catch. They're known for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. We often target them by trolling with live bait or artificial lures. Kings can show up any time from spring through fall, with peak season usually in the summer. Landing a big King is always a highlight of any Gulf fishing trip.

Mahi Mahi: Also called Dorado or Dolphinfish (though they're not related to dolphins), Mahi are some of the most beautiful fish in the ocean. They're known for their vibrant colors and acrobatic fights. We usually find them near floating debris or weedlines, where they hunt for smaller fish. Mahi are fast growers and can be caught year-round in the Gulf, but they're most common in the warmer months.

Greater Amberjack: Affectionately known as "reef donkeys" by local anglers, Amberjack are renowned for their powerful fights. These fish will test your strength and endurance, often making long, powerful runs once hooked. They tend to hang around deep-water structures and can grow to over 100 pounds. The best time to target them is typically in the spring and fall, outside of their closed seasons.

Fishing Fun Captain

We had a great time fishing with Captain Jeremy. We had never been charter fishing before and my son had requested to go, so we booked the trip.

Gag Grouper

Gag Grouper are hefty bottom-dwellers, usually 20-30 inches long but can reach 50 inches and 80 pounds. You'll find them lurking around rocky bottoms, reefs, and wrecks in 60-250 foot depths. They're most catchable in cooler months, from fall through early spring. Anglers love Gags for their powerful fight and excellent table fare. These ambush predators will try to break your line by diving into their rocky lairs. Use sturdy tackle – 50-pound test line at least. Live bait like pinfish or mullet works wonders. Here's a pro tip: when you feel that first tug, reel fast and pull hard to get the grouper away from the bottom. If you let them hunker down, you'll likely lose your catch and your rig. It's a real tug-of-war, but landing a big Gag is worth the effort.

Greater Amberjack

Greater Amberjack, or AJs, are brutes of the deep, typically 30-50 pounds but can exceed 100 pounds. You'll find them around deep-water reefs and wrecks, usually in 60-240 foot depths. They're most active in spring and fall. Anglers love AJs for their sheer power – they're like hooking a freight train. When you hook one, be ready for a long, grueling fight. Use heavy tackle – 80-pound test or more. Live bait like blue runners works great, but large jigs can be effective too. Here's a pro tip: when you feel the bite, reel fast and try to get the fish off the bottom quickly. If an AJ gets back to its structure, you'll likely lose both fish and gear. It's a true test of an angler's strength and endurance, but landing a big Amberjack is a real accomplishment.

King Mackerel

King Mackerel, or Kingfish, are speedsters of the Gulf, usually 15-30 pounds but can top 90 pounds. You'll find them in open water, often near the surface, following bait schools. They're most active in warmer months, from late spring through fall. Anglers love Kings for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. When hooked, they'll make your reel scream. Trolling with live bait or spoons is effective, but watch out for those razor-sharp teeth when you're handling them. Here's a local secret: look for diving birds to find feeding Kings. Once you locate a school, stick with them – they often travel in groups. For the best fight, use light tackle, but be prepared to chase them down. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a King Mackerel peeling line off your reel at high speed.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi, also called Dorado, are some of the most beautiful fish in our waters. They typically run 15-30 pounds but can reach up to 80 pounds. You'll find them in open water, often near floating debris or weed lines. They're most active in warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Anglers love Mahi for their acrobatic fights and stunning colors – they put on a real light show when hooked. They're also excellent eating fish. Trolling with ballyhoo or artificial lures works well, but sight-casting to visible fish is even more exciting. Here's a local tip: when you catch one Mahi, keep your eyes peeled. They often travel in schools, so where there's one, there's likely more. If you can keep a hooked fish in the water, its buddies might stick around, giving you a shot at multiple catches.

Red Snapper

Red Snapper is a prized catch in our Gulf waters, typically weighing 5-10 pounds but can grow up to 35 pounds. You'll find these beauties hanging around reefs and wrecks in 30-600 foot depths. They're most active in warmer months, from late spring through fall. Anglers love Red Snapper for their tenacious fight and delicious, mild flavor. When you hook one, be ready for a battle – they'll try to dive back to their structure. To land a big one, use heavy tackle and drop your bait right to the bottom. Live bait like cigar minnows or squid works great. Here's a local tip: once you find a good spot, don't move around too much. Red Snapper tend to stick to their home turf, so patience can pay off with multiple catches from the same area.
