The Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay are home to an incredible range of species year-round. Whether you're targeting a trophy tarpon on the flats, a fat grouper on a deep reef, or a mahi mahi in the blue water — St. Pete puts you right in the middle of it all.
Tarpon
The Silver King. Tampa Bay is one of the top tarpon destinations in the world — spring and summer runs are epic.
Snook
A light-tackle favorite on the grass flats and mangrove shorelines of Tampa Bay. Strong, fast, and fun to fight.
Redfish
Copper-colored bruisers that love the shallow flats. Sight-casting to redfish in St. Pete is world-class.
Spotted Seatrout
An inshore staple — they hang on the grass flats year-round and make great table fare.
Grouper
Gag, Red, and Black grouper live on the offshore reefs and ledges of the Gulf. Hard fighters and excellent eating.
Snapper
Mangrove and red snapper are abundant on the Gulf reefs — one of the most prized catches offshore.
Kingfish
Kingfish (King Mackerel) are fast, hard-running pelagics that show up in big numbers along the Gulf coast.
Cobia
One of the most exciting fish to catch — cobia follow rays and sharks along the beach and around structure.
Mahi Mahi
Colorful, acrobatic, and delicious. Mahi season in the Gulf brings some of the most exciting offshore action around.
Tuna
Blackfin and yellowfin tuna roam the deep Gulf waters. Catching one is a true offshore achievement.
Shark
Bull, blacktip, and hammerhead sharks patrol Tampa Bay and the Gulf — a pure adrenaline experience.
Barracuda
