Florida Offshore Fishing
Florida as an offshore fishery is one of the planets premiere destinations for battling big saltwater gamefish. We have thousands of reefs and sunken ships providing prime habitat for some of the most sought-after species in the state.
Deepwater seamounts, ledges, and humps can be found in depths ranging from 500 feet to well over 1,000 feet offshore. Here in the Gulf of Mexico, these are found close to the continental shelf- among the Gulfstream currents.
Out here, grouper, snapper, and amberjack that swim are big and aggressive. This is a great year-round fishery.
