The Daily Catch | March 20, 2023
Spring break is the perfect time for outdoor activities, and one of the best things to do in Clearwater, Florida is to go on a fishing trip. The Gulf of Mexico is home to a variety of fish species, and this time of year, 8-hour offshore fishing charters give you enough time to get to the bigger fish and are the perfect opportunity to catch some of the most prized fish in the area.
Our full-day charters are great for those who want to spend more time on the water and explore the deeper waters of the Gulf of Mexico. During these trips, we have been seeing good numbers of red grouper, which is in-season. The thrill of reeling in one of these beautiful fish is an experience that you’ll never forget. We are also seeing mangrove snapper, hogfish and cobia in the mix further offshore.
For those who are shorter on time, our 4-hour half-day trips are perfect. This time of year, these trips are often designed for trolling to target king mackerel and Spanish mackerel, two of the most popular fish species in the area. These fish are known for their speed and agility, and reeling one in can be an exciting experience. If mackerel isn’t for you, there are a number of wrecks and reefs within 12 miles offshore where we have been seeing smaller grouper and snapper, porgies, lane snapper and grunt, all which are delicious white fish for a celebratory dinner once you’re back at the dock.
If you’re looking for something a little more adventurous, our evening charters are a great choice. We’ve been seeing an uptick of sharks, barracuda, and Goliath groupers showing up at the wrecks and reefs not too far offshore. Last week, we had a 6-foot black tip shark in the boat for a few pictures before we sent him back swimming into the sunset. Our sunset trolling charters and evening predator trips are perfect for families and friends looking for a fun and exciting experience.
