You have two options: offshore fishing or in a tidal channel. Many inlets have facilities and easy access that are suitable for anglers. These inlets allow you to catch tarpon as well redfish, redfish and jacks. Here are plenty of options, no matter if you want to cast a lead-head or use lures.
Fly fishing
Fly fishing in Florida's Gulf of Florida could be the right choice for you if you are a keen fisherman. This region is home to numerous species of fish, and pristine natural landscapes. Although the state is best known for its freshwater fishing, there are also some great saltwater spots for fly fishing. For example, Bass can be found in inland lakes, quiet canals, mangrove swamps, flats, and estuaries.
Saltwater fishing off the coast
Saltwater fishing off Florida's coast is a great way for anglers to enjoy the thrill of catching fish. Anglers have the opportunity to catch many species of fish, such as gag grouper, black grouper, and even goliath grouper. There are three types of snapper: yellowtail, mangrove and red. Other species include triggerfish (dolphin), and sheepshead.
Tidal rivers
While tidal rivers are not particularly productive during high tide, lower tides can produce plenty of action. The outer bends are more deep than the inner curves, and they are filled with lilies. This indicates that the current has left a bank. Largemouth bass and Suwannee catfish love to catch lily panfish. You can use lures that mimic crawfish to catch these species.
Lighted docks
You've probably fished from a dock at night and know how difficult it is to catch a fish. Docks are now installing underwater dock lighting. These lights not only make them safe but also attract many different species of fish. These lights also attract small fish as well as insects. This attracts these gamefish. Glass minnows and juvenile blue crabs are likely to be the baitfish.
Snook
The best time of year to catch snook in the Gulf of Florida is during the incoming tide. Snook are found in many habitats. However, they can often be found in shallower water, near mangroves, structure, and seagrass. No matter where you're fishing there are some techniques that can increase your chances of landing one. Here are a few:
Tarpon
Tarpon are migratory fish and can be found on Florida's east-and west coasts. The average tarpon weighs about 200 pounds and can grow to be the length of a human being. These large fish often hang around rocks and wrecks, and move to deeper waters when it gets cold. These structures provide the perfect spot for tarpon fishing, especially in spring and fall.
