These waters are known for Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Red Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Gag Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Spanish Mackerel, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Trolling & Jigging won the day!

3 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bay Fishing - 2:00 PM on March 25, 2026 • 4 adults

My son(15) & I booked a last minute 3 hour trip with Christian. He did a great job getting us on the Spanish Mackeral for the first hour with 8 in the boat. He recognized after a few empty runs that it was time to move onto the Sheepshead. BOOM! My son pull up several grunt and I reeled in a PIG of a Sheepshead near the jetty. Christian cleaned the fish back at the docks and recommended Dat Cajun & J Michael. Blackened Spanish were our favorite. Thanks for a great afternoon of fishing in spite of my son & I being intermediate/beginner anglers.

4 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bay Fishing - 10:00 AM on March 1, 2026

We booked a trip with Gulf Wrangler Charters and had a great experience. The captain was knowledgeable, easy to fish with, and put us on quality fish. He was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly knows these waters inside and out. The boat was clean and well run, and everything felt organized and relaxed, my family had a great time!! If you’re looking for a solid charter with someone who knows the local waters and works hard to get you on fish, I’d definitely recommend Gulf Wrangler Charters.
