The heat and humidity can be exhausting this time of year. Beat the heat by fishing at night for Tarpon or Flounder. Otherwise, head offshore in search of huge Amberjack — it’s open season.

We were put on a lot of fish, it can be stormy and it was up to the day on storms getting us. Open water can be rough so we didn’t hit the open water much with wife and kid getting sea sick.

For offshore and bad weather, the bigger the boat, the better. More money but a small boat may cancel the whole trip.

As a born and raised Floridian the cooler months are always best in my opinion, but always get with your captain for best times for the species you desire to catch

The weather is constantly changing. While we didn't get rained on (heavily) there were definitely showers in the area. I would suggest bringing at least a change of clothes to have ready and waiting for you in the event you experience rain while on the water.

If you’re not sure about sea sickness, take a Dramamine the night before and then again a good 1-2 hours before the trip. We wore long sleeve shirts with SPF protection, they worked really well.
