Surf City Fishing Charters

During winter, you’ll often find Red Drum, Trout, and Black Drum hiding in the marsh. Miles offshore, it's Bluefin Tuna season! If you're planning on battling one of these monsters, now's the time.

It’s still a good time to be fishing for Bluefin Tuna in the Gulf Stream. Close to shore, you’ll be catching Spotted Seatrout and Red Drum. You can also see some Whiting in the surf.

Fishing the nearshore reefs and wrecks could put you some on Black Seabass and Porgy this time of year. Offshore, the Bluefin Tuna season will soon be ending.

A few miles off the beach, Bonito and False Albacore are showing up in larger numbers. Inshore, the Spotted Seatrout bite should be heating up as the water gets warmer.

If the weather is warm, try trolling for Spanish Mackerel along the beaches. Or head nearshore and try fishing for smaller King Mackerel, False Albacore, and more. 

With the beginning of summer, King Mackerel make their way closer to shore. Trolling for Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish is also a good option, while bottom fishing could hook you up with some Black Seabass and Snapper.

If you’re looking to hunt a Marlin, grab the opportunity while they’re migrating along the Gulf Stream. Or try trolling for Mahi Mahi around the 20-mile range. Inshore, you can hook into Red Drum and Trout. 

Flounder are showing up in bigger numbers, but make sure to check the regulations before you go fishing. You can also try trolling along the beach for Spanish Mackerel.

The recreational Flounder season is usually open around September. This means it’s prime time to be harvesting these delicious flatfish. Nearshore, Spanish Mackerel are still biting.

The Spotted Seatrout bite is picking up as the waters cool down. Larger numbers of Redfish can be found anywhere from the local creeks to the inlets.

Trolling in the 12–15 mile range is a good option if you’re keen on catching some Spanish or King Mackerel. If you’re eager to put some fish in the cooler, try hitting the nearshore structure for Black Seabass.

In the Gulf Stream, big Bluefin Tuna are starting to show up once again, and bottom fishing for Grouper and Snapper is typically productive. Inshore, try sight fishing for Red Drum or targeting Spotted Seatrout.
