Inshore fishing, also known as light tackle fishing, is an exciting and enjoyable experience. Using spinning rods baited with lures, stripped ballyhoo, or squid, anglers can target a variety of fish species that are found closer to the shore, such as snapper, grouper, barracuda, amberjacks and mackerel. Two styles of inshore fishing are light tackle trolling and bottom fishing.
Light Tackle Trolling
The fishing rods will be carefully set up for trolling over shallow areas and reefs, ensuring that the bait is presented in a way that attracts the fish in those specific environments.
Bottom Fishing
The boat is anchored over the reef, you can start casting and jigging your rods to attract the fish.
Both Light tackle fishing and bottom fishing target areas where fish typically gather and is perfect for kids and beginners.
Inshore Fishing
Offshore Fishing
Deep Drop Fishing
Offshore fishing, also known as deep sea fishing, is an exhilarating experience that ventures into deeper waters in pursuit of larger and more challenging fish. Unlike inshore fishing, offshore fishing demands more preparation and skill. When fishing in the ocean you will be trolling for the larger migratory species that are in the area at the time. These species will change depending on the time of year you are fishing. No matter what species you are targeting, the majority of these fast and strong predators will put up a good fight on its way to the boat. Offshore fishing targets fish species such as Blue Marlin, Yellow fin tuna, Black fin tuna, Mahi-mahi and Wahoo.
Deep drop fishing involves targeting fish that live in the deeper parts of the ocean, often at depths ranging from 400 to 1,500 feet. It requires specialized equipment, including heavy-duty rods, reels, and metered color braid to handle the extreme depths and pressures. Deep drop fishing targets species such as yellow eyed snapper, queen snapper, black fin snapper, black snapper and misty grouper.
