Hot fishing is deep this summer
Hot fishing is deep this summer
Jun 7, 2023 St. Petersburg
As the water heats up the fish continue move deeper offshore! In our warmer summer months June, July, August even September the biggest fish and best bite is past 30 mi. Barracuda sharks small grunts can be found inside 20 mi with an occasional permit on some wrecks. As a general unwritten rule for summertime fishing the more productive trips are deep! Get in our bean bag chair and enjoy the comfortable ride into the deep blue offshore! For those interested in red snapper red grouper and some bigger mangoes the only place they're being caught in our gulf waters is in 120 ft plus which is 40 mi. The tarpon bite has been fair to good depending on the tide Best bite has been an late outgoing tide around the full moon but there are some tarpon being hooked along the beaches in the morning as well. Tight lines! Captain Mark Maloney Barracudaville Charters

East winds have brought kingfish within a few miles of our beaches! Our fall run should last through November. Live bait will get the largest fish locate fish by hitting hard bottom and look for bait schools. Kings will not be far with clean green water and waterr in the 70s !!!
