    Amazing!

    Capt. Pete was awesome. He took our family out for our first off shore boating trip and we caught loads of different fish! Highly recommend for first timers or families.

About Tigerfish fishing

Size
18-24 inches
Food Value
Good
Game Quality
Excellent

Tigerfish are fierce freshwater predators known for explosive strikes and blistering runs. Anglers target them for their power, sharp teeth, and acrobatic jumps. Hook one, and every fight feels like a true test.

Most trips focus on river fishing along channels, eddies, and drop-offs. Spinning with spoons, spinners, and crankbaits is simple and effective. Fly fishing with sturdy streamers also works well in fast seams. Use strong gear and a wire leader to handle those teeth. Keep hooks sharp and set firmly to drive through tough jaws.

Expect fast action, sudden hits, and short bursts of chaos. This suits adventurous anglers and anyone who enjoys hands-on casting. Bring polarized sunglasses, sun protection, and closed-toe shoes for boat ramps. Long-nose pliers and a dehooker help with safe releases. Handle fish with wet hands, support the belly, and watch the teeth.

Before you go, check local fishing license and permit rules. Regulations on seasons, gear, and harvest vary by region and water. Many areas promote catch-and-release, so know the guidelines in advance.
