Marlin Fishing

Marlin are seen throughout the year, predominantly between the months of Late January through mid September. Blue marlin are most common especially mixed throughout the running sailfish.

Sailfishing

Sails are most abundant through out the year, however during the months of late December through May you should expect to see many free jumpers and excessive amounts of fish. Like Marlin, Sailfish are taken year round with usually about 5 to 15 fish a day.

Tuna Fishing

The bigger Tuna are taken during the most productive runs of the Sailfish and Marlin, but smaller Tuna are around usually all year long.

Dorado Fishing

Also known as Mahi Mahi or Dolphin fish. Dorado are more abundant from February through October when the rivers send floating logs and other debris to the ocean. These fish are attracted to drifting debris and hang around underneath. Dorado can be caught throughout the year though as well.

Wahoo Fishing

The area is not known to hold great numbers of these fast fish, but you never know. They are found year round in random numbers, however one of these as a catch is a GREAT DINNER!

Roosterfish

Undoubtedly, the Roosterfish is the most exciting inshore fish available and are the main attraction to inshore fishermen. These fish lurk around rocky bottoms and are one heck of a fight! They are not to good for eating because of all their muscle but they do tend to bring a lot of spunk to the line. Roosters can be caught year round averaging from 20 to 40 pounds.

Red Snapper Fishing

This is the most popular of all the local Snappers, due to its size and sheer strength. Fish over 50lbs have been caught in the area, year round. They are very similar to the Red Snapper fish.
