Fishing 101: Gulf Style

Offshore fishing in the Gulf is a whole different ballgame from casting off a pier. We'll likely be doing some bottom fishing, which means dropping your line down deep where the big boys hang out. You might also try your hand at trolling, where we drag lures behind the boat to tempt fish into striking. The captain will show you how to work the reel, set the hook, and bring your catch to the boat. It's all about patience and a bit of finesse, but when you feel that first tug on the line, you'll be hooked for life!

Species You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel: These speedsters are the sprinters of the Gulf. Known for their blistering runs, King Mackerel can make your reel sing as they peel off line. They typically show up in our waters from spring through fall, with peak season in the summer months. Anglers love targeting these silver missiles because of the adrenaline rush they provide when hooked. Plus, they make for some mighty fine eating if you're into smoking fish.

Red Snapper: The poster child of Gulf fishing, Red Snapper are as beautiful as they are delicious. These ruby-red beauties are bottom dwellers, typically hanging around reefs and wrecks. They put up a good fight, especially when you're trying to pull them up from the depths. The season for Red Snapper is tightly regulated, but when it's open, it's like a holiday for Gulf Coast anglers. Expect a tough battle and a great meal if you're lucky enough to land one of these prized fish.

Gag Grouper: If you're looking for a real arm-wrestle of a fish, Gag Grouper is your guy. These beefy bottom feeders are known for their powerful first run - they'll try to dive back into their rocky homes as soon as they feel the hook. Gags are available year-round, but the best action is usually in the cooler months. Landing a big Grouper is a badge of honor for any angler, and the firm, white flesh makes for some of the best fish sandwiches you'll ever taste.
