Alright, here's the deal: You've got two options - either meet Cap'n Jeremy at the crack of dawn (6 AM sharp) or roll in for the afternoon shift at noon. Either way, you're in for 5 solid hours of bottom fishing in some of the Gulf's most productive spots. We're talking about dropping lines where the big boys hang out - Snapper, Triggerfish, Amberjack, you name it.

Bottom Fishing 101

If you've never been bottom fishing before, you're in for a treat. This ain't your granddaddy's lazy day of fishing - it's a workout for your arms and a test of your reflexes. We'll be using heavy tackle to get down deep where the big fish live. Once we anchor up over a prime spot, it's all about feeling for that bite and setting the hook hard. Captain Jeremy's got all the tricks up his sleeve to put you on the fish, from reading the fish finder to knowing exactly when to move spots. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the fight of pulling up a big ol' Amberjack from 100 feet down!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running these trips for years, and I've seen first-timers turn into regulars faster than a kingfish can strip your line. It's not just about the fish (though that's a big part of it). It's about the whole experience - the salty air, the thrill of the catch, and the stories you'll be telling for weeks. Plus, with a max of 4 guests, you're getting a personalized trip that the big party boats just can't match. Whether you're bringing the family or a group of buddies, this trip's got something for everyone.

Fish You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel: These speedsters are the drag-screamers of the Gulf. Hitting speeds up to 60 mph, hooking into a King is like trying to stop a freight train with dental floss. They're most active in the warmer months and put up a fight that'll have your arms burning.

Grey Triggerfish: Don't let their small size fool you - these guys are crafty. With their powerful jaws, they're known for stealing bait and giving a surprisingly strong fight for their size. They're a year-round target and make for some mighty fine eating.

Greater Amberjack: We call 'em "reef donkeys" for a reason. These bruisers can top 100 pounds and will test your strength like no other. They start biting in the spring and stick around through fall. Landing one of these is a badge of honor for any angler.

Red Snapper: The crown jewel of Gulf bottom fishing. With their bright red color and delicious white meat, Red Snapper are the fish that dreams are made of. They're most abundant during their short summer season, so timing is everything. When we're on 'em, it's non-stop action that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.

Time to Get Your Lines Wet

Listen up, folks - this isn't just another day of fishing. This is your chance to get in on some of the best bottom fishing the Panhandle has to offer. Captain Jeremy knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's itching to put you on the fish of a lifetime. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler or just want to feel that rod bend, this trip's got you covered. So what are you waiting for? Grab your spot now before someone else does. Trust me, the only thing you'll regret is not booking sooner. Let's get out there and show those fish who's boss!

Learn more about the species

Greater Amberjack

Greater Amberjack, or "reef donkeys" as we call 'em, are powerful fighters you'll find around deep wrecks and reefs. They typically run 20-50 pounds but can top 100. We target them in 60-250 foot depths, often over hard bottom areas. Spring and fall are prime seasons when water temps are in the 70s. Anglers love AJs for their brute strength - be ready for a workout when you hook one. They're known for making powerful runs straight back to the bottom. For best results, use live bait like blue runners or heavy metal jigs. Drop 'em down and get ready. When you feel that thump, lock down and start cranking. These guys don't give up easy, so make sure your drag is set right. The meat's good eating too, great for the grill.

Grey Triggerfish

Grey Triggerfish are quirky little fighters we find on reefs and wrecks, usually in 60-180 foot depths. They average 2-4 pounds but can reach 13. These guys have a bad attitude - pound for pound, they put up a scrappy fight on light tackle. You'll see 'em most of the year, but fishing's best in spring and fall. Triggerfish are notorious bait stealers, so small hooks and fresh cut bait are key. Try squid chunks - they stay on the hook better. When you feel that telltale nibble, reel fast and set the hook hard. Their tough, leathery mouths make them tricky to hook, but the firm white meat makes great fish tacos. Local tip: Drop your bait right into structure. These guys love to hide in nooks and crannies.

King Mackerel

King Mackerel are fast-swimming predators you'll find in the Gulf, usually 20-40 pounds but can top 90. We target them in 40-150 foot depths, often near structures or dropoffs. They're most active in warmer months when water hits the upper 60s. Anglers love 'em for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics - these fish will test your drag for sure. Their meat is rich and flavorful too, great for grilling. To up your odds, try slow-trolling with live bait like blue runners or menhaden. Keep your drag set light at first, these guys hit hard and can snap light leaders. Once hooked, be ready for multiple runs before you get 'em to the boat.

Red Snapper

Red Snapper are prized catches here in the Gulf, usually in the 5-15 pound range but can hit 30+. We find 'em on reefs and wrecks in 60-300 foot depths. They're most active in warmer months, especially during spawning season from May to October. Anglers love snapper fishing - they put up a good fight and taste amazing. When you hook one, be ready for a hard pull to the bottom. They often make several strong runs before coming up. Fresh cut bait or live pinfish work great. Here's a local trick: once you find a school, keep 'em fired up with a steady stream of chum. The bite can get frantic. Just watch out for sharks stealing your catch on the way up. There's nothing like fresh snapper for dinner after a day on the water.
