Fishing 101: Gulf Style

Expect to do some bottom fishing for those tasty snappers and groupers - it's all about feeling that subtle nibble and knowing when to set the hook.

Fish on the Line

Northern Kingfish: These speedsters are a blast to catch. They're known for their lightning-fast runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. Kingfish typically range from 10 to 20 pounds, but bigger ones aren't uncommon. Spring and fall are prime times to target them, as they migrate through our waters. Anglers love 'em for their fight and their tasty fillets - perfect for grilling or smoking.

Red Grouper: These bottom-dwelling brutes are a staple in our waters. They're not the prettiest fish in the sea, but boy, do they taste good! Red grouper tend to hang around rocky bottoms and reefs. They can grow up to 50 pounds, though most we catch are in the 5-15 pound range. These guys are known for their strong initial run - when you hook one, you'll know it! Best part? They're available year-round, so there's always a chance to land one.

Cobia: Ah, the cobia - every angler's dream catch. These powerful fish are sometimes called "crab eaters" or "ling." They're curious by nature and often swim right up to the boat. Cobia can grow over 100 pounds, though most we see are in the 20-50 pound range. They're known for their long, strong fights - hooking one is like hooking a freight train! Spring and early summer are your best bet for cobia, as they migrate along our coast.

Red Snapper: These beauties are the pride of the Gulf. With their bright red color and tasty white meat, they're always a welcome sight. Red snapper typically weigh between 5 and 15 pounds, but bigger ones aren't rare. They love structure, so we target them around reefs and wrecks. The fight is usually a bulldogging affair - they'll try to dive back to their rocky homes. Snapper season is limited, so when it's open, we make the most of it!

Black Grouper: Last but not least, the black grouper. These guys are the bulldogs of the deep, known for their powerful runs back to the bottom. They can grow huge, with some specimens topping 100 pounds! Most we catch are in the 10-30 pound range, which is still plenty of fish. Black grouper love structure and are often found around the same spots as red grouper. They're available year-round, but cooler months often see better action.
