JUNE 1 – JULY 10:
RED SNAPPER SEASON
*full limit guaranteed

JULY 1-JULY 10:
RED SNAPPER & GAG GROUPER OPEN SIMULTANEOUSLY

July 1 through July 10 will be the only days during 2012 that both Red Snapper and Gag Grouper will be in season. These ten days will offer the finest of all deep sea table fare for the year.

*We guarantee a full limit of American Red Snapper on all 12 hour deep-sea trips. If we don’t have our limit we will either keep fishing until we fill it or discount your trip $100 per Red Snapper that we are short!! Generally we have our full limit of Red Snapper within 1 hour of lines down and then move on to targeting Red & Gag grouper, Mangrove & Yellowtail Snapper, or migratory species like Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, or Wahoo if they are available.

Due to high demand and the overlap with prime Tarpon season, space is extremely limited for Red Snapper Trips so early reservations are highly recommended.

Even outside of the spring runs we are still catching plenty of nice Kings on light tackle.  On 15lb spinning gear these fish put up a great fight!  Sharks, Permit, Goliath Grouper, and Cobia are also frequent catches in the same areas.  Read more on Nearshore Fishing Trips.

Many, many of my customers show up in hopes of catching a Permit, the prized sportfish found here in Southwest Florida.  On our recent nearshore trips we have been tearing it up with the Permit fishing.  The weather has been fantastic, the water is warming up quite nicely and the fish have been plentiful.  Read more about Nearshore Fishing Trips.

Not only has the bite on Reds, like Dave’s taken in mid-April, been great, but we have also been putting full limits of Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, and Amberjack in the box on most trips as well. Read More on Deep Sea Fishing.

For families looking to bend a rod on something a little more challenging than trout and redfish, you can’t go wrong with a family nearshore trip. King Mackerel, like the one above, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Permit, Sharks, and Goliath Grouper are all regulars on these trips.  Read more on Nearshore Fishing.

Amberjack like this one that Liz and dad Adam put a beating on in early April have been cooperative enough to allow us to catch them right on top well within sight of the boat. Nothing is more fun than watching a fifty pound torpedo of solid muscle blast baits and plugs in gin-clear water just feet from the boat! These fish are not only great sport, but offer great eating as well. Its a little known fact that when properly handled and trimmed they serve up as some of the tastiest sushi this side of Tokyo!
