Other Inshore Species

There are times when you can catch more than 20 species in a trip. Much of the diversity comes inshore.

Roosterfish, cubera snapper, mullet snapper, rock snapper, broomtail grouper, bluefin trevally, jack crevalle, horse eye jack, needlefish (giant needlefish that might be 4 feet long!), amberjacks, almaco jacks, hawkfish, and other species of grouper and snapper. We even sometimes catch wahoo inshore.

When one of the live bait rods goes off, you ever know what is on the other end. When a popper disappears in a surge of whitewater, it could be anything. That’s just part of the charm of inshore fishing here.
