Tuna and Bonito are offshore species that we catch in the summer in the Atlantic Ocean. We also catch kingfish, sailfish, dolphin, cobia, amberjack, barracuda, and sharks on these trips. Jewfish and grouper are mainly an offshore species that move nearshore and inshore during the fall and winter. They inhabit rocky edges and holes in the backcountry and in the passes. We catch them with live bait and jigs.
Sharks are a common catch in the spring and summer.
This shark is a 20 lb blacktip shark. They are fastest of our sharks and jump when hooked. Blacktips range in size from about 5 lbs to over a 100lbs. We also have hammerheads, lemons, sand, reef, and bonnet head sharks in our area.
