 Snook
Snook are one of the most sought after gamefish in Florida. The Snook is known
for its acrobatic leaps and long runs and the ability to make your knees knock
while anticipating a strike! Snook habitat ranges from beaches to passes, docks,
mangroves, potholes, seawalls, jetties and many more. Most of our charters are
centered around catching Snook in natural setting such as the mangroves and beaches.
Wading is an option and is one of the best ways to obtain greater numbers of quality
fish.
The baitfish used are scaled sardines, pinfish, and large threadfins. Grunts
are used for the really large trophy fish! Plugs and jigs can also be used if
preferred. Spring through Fall is an excellent time to try your hand at these
exciting gamefish. Capt. Chris is a specialist at live bait chumming for these
gamesters for great numbers of fish. Night fishing is always a productive way
to catch Snook since they are nocturnal and prowl the shadows of dock lights in
search of an easy meal. It is also a good way for anglers to stay out of the heat.
 Redfish
Redfish are the bruisers of the flats. They have unbelievable stamina and the
ability to put up a tremendous fight! They inhabit very shallow grass flats that
can cause the phenomenon known as "Tailing Reds". Many times when feeding,
Redfish will root in the grass with their head down leaving their tail sticking
out of the water. It is an angler's dream to come across a school of tailing Redfish.
Redfish are found in many of the same locations as Snook and Trout. However,
we also search for giant Redfish a couple miles off the beaches. The average fish
caught here weighs around 20 to 45 pounds! Wading is also a great opportunity
to catch Redfish since they spook easily. Live chumming is also implemented using
scaled sardines and shrimp bits. We target Redfish on our charters year round.
 Tarpon
(The Silver King)
Now we're talking about a serious fish! Tarpon are capable of peeling all the
line off a spool in a very short time! Hooking a Tarpon is like casting a plug
onto a freeway - Hold on! Tarpon are very acrobatic and capable of jumping out
of the water 10 feet into the air! The thrill of watching a tarpon take a bait
and then battling this awesome gamefish for 30 minutes to 2 hours can leave memories
that last a lifetime. The Tarpon we catch on our charters vary between 70-175lbs!!!
We target these magnificent fish at bridges and off the beaches for the large
concentrations of fish. The baits of choice are threadfins, pinfish, and crabs.
We use tackle ranging from 20lb for the beaches to 60lb at the bridges. We typically
fish for Tarpon between May and September.
