Deep Sea Fishing
Some of the best places for a deep-sea fishing trip are in Galveston, Texas and Destin, Florida.
Gulf of Mexico
Common types of fish to expect to see on a deep-sea or offshore fishing trip in the Gulf waters include King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Tripletail, Dorado, Cobia (Ling), Sharks, Jack Crevalle, Sailfish, and Wahoo. You can anticipate to do a combination of bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, and jigging during your deep sea fishing trip depending on the weather that day. The Gulf of Mexico is a great place for first-timers and experienced anglers alike to fish for interesting specimens.
Shark Fishing
Shark fishing is best on the Gulf coast between May and September, when the waters are warmer. Sharks can be captured using both live and dead baits. You can also go bottom fishing or drift fishing. Sharks are tough fighters, so catching them may be a lot of fun. Catch-and-release fishermen eager for a large fish fight should take this trip! Some sharks can be maintained as long as they’re legal and you plan to eat them rather than throw them away.
Bay & Jetty Fishing
This type of fishing is perfect for fishing with younger children. These trips offer the chance to catch a wide variety of fish species while also letting you see dolphins and maybe even a shark or two. These fishing trips are year round and can use both live and dead bait. You can expect to see include Sheepshead, white trout, Red Drum (Redfish), Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Sharks, Flounder, Whiting, Pompano, Spanish Mackerel, and more.
Swordfishing
The gladiators of the ocean! Swordfish are perhaps the worlds most powerful game fish. They are the most respected of the fighting fish… In order to catch this trophy fish, Captain Phillip will take you 50-60 miles offshore to the 200-fathom curve.
