Since we are right in the middle of summer, I figured I’d write a post about all of the opportunities and target species available. Starting with the deep sea fishing, on the half days we are targeting Grunts, Porgies, Hogfish and Grouper, plenty of action is to be had, however not a ton of keepers…
Summer time in Clearwater is the right time to target the silver king. These fish are typically between 75-120 pounds and are on their yearly migration north to spawn and find more comfortable water temperatures. May through August is the window of opportunity here and we take full advantage of this. Fishing the passes, bridges…
It has been a great summer of fishing in Clearwater so far this season. The Permit have been biting good on our 3/4 and full day charters on the offshore wrecks. These fish are prized for their hard fight and god eating firm white meat. Regarded as a trophy fish, Permit can be difficult to…
Our deep sea charters have been getting into some solid Red Snapper and Grouper action on our 10 and 12 hour trips. The 8 hour charters have also been getting into some Snapper and Grouper, plenty of keepers on all of these trips but the biggest fish on the longer ones, mainly a direct correlation…
While the fishing offshore of Clearwater Florida is excellent for Grouper, Snapper and much more, it isn’t well known for it’s Mahi fishing. This time of year however, we usually see schools of them while on our Red Snapper trips. By Florida standards, these aren’t big Mahi but typically decent keepers for fish tacos. Last…
The Gulf American Red Snapper opening day is next week, June1st. This season will remain open through the end of July. The deep sea fishing offshore of the Clearwater area has been phenomenal the past 10 years for ARS, Grouper and various other species. This year should be no exception and we are expecting good…
Warm temperatures have the inshore fishing red hot! Snook, Redfish and Trout are all biting good. Capt. Marlin has been running our inshore trips and absolutely crushing the fish. The Snook have been cooperating on the high tide with most fish hitting live bait, with a few taken on lures. The redfish have been hitting…
It’s not often that we leave the dock in the Clearwater area and specifically fish for the beautiful sailfish. Unlike the east coast of Florida the West coast is relatively shallow making our fishery excellent for Grouper, Snapper, Amberjack, Kingfish, Cobia, Tarpon and much, much more. However Sailfish, Mahi, Tuna and the other pelagic not…
