The Keys are always good for an out-of-season adventure, and the added bonus of Tuna offshore is sure to tempt you.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Speaking of offshore, the Gulf Stream is full of exciting pelagic species. Sailfish are popular targets in Miami, while Mahi Mahi move up the coast. This means that a trolling trip is your best bet of landing a trophy.&nbsp;<\/p><p>On the Gulf Coast, <a href=\"https:\/\/fishingbooker.com\/fishing-type\/inshore\/us\/FL?utm_source=fishingbooker&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=post_content_link&amp;utm_term=36566\">inshore fishing<\/a> takes center stage, with Redfish getting bigger and bigger in the shallows. With the arrival of Flounder, Speckled Trout, and Sheepshead, there&#8217;s plenty to target, whether in Boca Grande, Tampa Bay, PCB, or Pensacola.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 id=\"december\">December<\/h2><p>There&#8217;s no threat of a white Christmas in Florida, so you&#8217;re all set for some action on the water to see out the year. It may not be the traditional pick, but why not put a big fish on the table for Christmas?<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/fishingbooker-prod-blog-backup.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/media\/2022\/05\/14141350\/Grouper-FL-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"An angler wearing sunglasses struggles to hold a large Black Grouper on a boat &ndash; caught while fishing in Florida in December\" class=\"wp-image-36884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fishingbooker-prod-blog-backup.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/media\/2022\/05\/14141350\/Grouper-FL-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fishingbooker-prod-blog-backup.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/media\/2022\/05\/14141350\/Grouper-FL-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fishingbooker-prod-blog-backup.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/media\/2022\/05\/14141350\/Grouper-FL-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fishingbooker-prod-blog-backup.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/media\/2022\/05\/14141350\/Grouper-FL.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><p>The deep sea fishing season winds to a close, by and large, come December. Although if you find a calm day, the Space Coast up to Jacksonville can offer some good Tuna action out in the deep. Further south in <a href=\"https:\/\/fishingbooker.com\/destinations\/location\/us\/FL\/west-palm-beach?utm_source=fishingbooker&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=post_content_link&amp;utm_term=36566\">West Palm Beach<\/a> and Miami, you&#8217;ll be focusing on Snappers and Groupers in the bays or mangroves.<\/p><p>Even the Keys don&#8217;t offer much offshore action, but the inshore fishing is on point. Here, just as all along the Gulf Coast, Redfish hog the limelight, with a star-studded backing lineup of Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, and more, depending on where you cast your line.<\/p><p>In the freshwater realm, it&#8217;s never been better, as Largemouth and Peacock Bass are enjoying the cooler weather. They stock up on food this time of year, so they&#8217;ll be eager to take your bait. It&#8217;s the perfect time to try a range of techniques!<\/p>    <h2 id=\"florida-fishing-seasons-faqs\">Florida Fishing Seasons FAQs<\/h2>\n<div id=\"fbgb-faq-69fdfd14d0195\" class=\"fbgb-faq-block aligncenter fbgb-faq-style-accordion\">\n    <div class=\"fbgb-faq-container\">\n                    <div class=\"fbgb-faq-item \" data-faq-item=\"0\">\n                <div class=\"fbgb-faq-question\" \n                     role=\"button\" \n                     tabindex=\"0\" \n                     aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                     aria-controls=\"fbgb-faq-69fdfd14d0195-item-0\">\n                    <span class=\"fbgb-faq-question-text\">Can you fish in Florida all year-round?<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"fbgb-faq-icon\">\n                        <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M6.5 12.4L12 8l5.5 4.4-.9 1.2L12 10l-4.5 3.6-1-1.2z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <div id=\"fbgb-faq-69fdfd14d0195-item-0\" \n                     class=\"fbgb-faq-answer \"\n                     aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <div class=\"fbgb-faq-answer-content\">\n                        <p>Absolutely!
