Why Anglers Are Hooked
Let me tell you, there's something special about fishing through the night. The water takes on a different personality when the sun goes down, and that's when some of the real magic happens. You might be reeling in a feisty jack one minute, and the next you're locked in an epic battle with a shark that's trying to spool your reel. It's the kind of fishing that keeps you coming back for more, swapping stories and comparing catches as the hours tick by.
Fish on the Menu
Jack Crevalle: These bruisers are like the bulldogs of the sea. They hit hard and fight harder, often traveling in schools that can turn the water into a frothing mess when they're feeding. Jacks are a year-round target, but they're especially active in the warmer months. Expect a serious workout when you hook into one of these guys.
Black Drum: Don't let their ugly mugs fool you - black drum are a blast to catch and even better to eat. These bottom-dwellers can grow to monster sizes, with the big ones often called "bull drums." They love structure and put up a great fight on light tackle. Spring and fall are prime time for these tasty targets.
Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored beauties are a staple of inshore fishing. They're known for their distinctive spot near the tail and their willingness to slam a well-presented bait. Redfish can be caught year-round, but fall is when they really shine, schooling up in big numbers.
Pompano: These silvery speedsters might not be the biggest fish in the sea, but what they lack in size, they make up for in taste. Pompano are prized for their delicate, sweet flesh and put up a scrappy fight on light tackle. Look for them around sandy bottoms and passes, especially in the spring and fall.
Sharks: Hold onto your hats, folks - we're talking about some serious apex predators here. From the hammer-headed oddballs to the sleek and speedy makos, our waters are home to a variety of sharks that'll test your mettle. Tiger sharks, bulls, and lemons are just a few of the toothy critters you might tangle with. Shark fishing is an adrenaline-pumping experience that's at its best during the warmer months.

Learn more about the species
Black Drum
Black drum are the gentle giants of the inshore scene. These fish can grow huge - we're talking 50+ pounds - but the sweet spot for eating is 5-15 pounds. You'll find them hanging around oyster beds, pilings, and in brackish estuaries. Spring is prime time when they school up to spawn, making that characteristic drumming sound. Anglers love black drum for their steady, powerful fight and good eating qualities when smaller. To hook one, use fresh crab or shrimp on a bottom rig. Here's a tip: if you're seeing big schools but no bites, try downsizing your bait. Sometimes these big fish get picky and want something tiny. When you hook up, be ready for a dogged, head-shaking battle. It's not the fastest fight, but it'll test your arms and your drag. Just remember to release those big breeders - they're important for keeping the population healthy.
Crevalle Jack
Crevalle jacks are the bulldogs of the sea - tough, strong, and always ready for a fight. These fish typically run 3-5 pounds but can hit 60+ in deeper water. Look for them around structure like reefs or oil rigs, or chasing bait schools near the surface. They're most active in warmer months, and you'll often spot them by the birds diving on the bait they're pushing up. Jacks aren't known for great eating, but man, do they put up a battle. Expect screaming runs and arm-burning fights. To hook one, try fast-retrieving a silver spoon or topwater plug. Here's a pro tip: if you see a school busting bait on the surface, cast just beyond them and rip your lure through the frenzy. The aggressive jacks can rarely resist. Just be ready to hold on tight when one hits - these fish don't know the meaning of "give up."
Pacific Pompano
Pacific pompano are small but mighty fighters, usually running 6-8 inches long. You'll find these oval-shaped speedsters in coastal waters, often near sandy beaches or piers. They're most active in warmer months, schooling up and darting around in the surf. Anglers love targeting pompano for their sporty fight and excellent eating quality - their flesh is sweet and delicate. To catch 'em, use light tackle and small hooks baited with pieces of shrimp or sand crabs. Here's a local trick: look for "pompano rips" where waves create a depression in the sand bottom. That's where they like to feed. Cast just beyond the rip and slowly retrieve your bait through it. Be ready for quick, sharp bites - these little guys can be gone in a flash if you're not paying attention. It's a fun, fast-paced fishery that's perfect for both beginners and seasoned anglers.
Redfish
Redfish are a prized catch, known for their coppery color and distinctive black spot near the tail. You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, often cruising flats and hanging around oyster beds. These fish typically run 20-30 inches, but can grow much larger. Spring and fall are prime seasons, when they're most active in the shallows. Anglers love 'em for their strong fight and excellent table fare. To hook one, try sight-casting with a gold spoon or live shrimp. Look for "tailing" reds in very shallow water - that's when their tails break the surface as they root for crabs. Just remember, stealth is key. These fish can be spooky, so approach quietly and make your first cast count. Whether you're after a trophy bull red or some tasty smaller ones for dinner, redfish offer an exciting challenge for any angler.
Tiger Shark
Tiger sharks are the bad boys of the ocean - big, bold, and always looking for a meal. These predators typically run 11-14 feet long and can weigh up to a ton. You'll find them in coastal waters, often following warm currents. They're active year-round but tend to move closer to shore in summer. Anglers target tigers for the pure thrill and bragging rights - landing one of these beasts is no easy feat. To hook up, you'll need heavy tackle and plenty of patience. Chum the water and use large, oily baits like mackerel or tuna. Here's a tip: tigers have incredible sensory abilities, so they might investigate your boat before taking the bait. When they do bite, be ready for a long, powerful fight. Remember, these are catch-and-release only - respect these apex predators and send 'em back to keep the ecosystem balanced.
