Our local waters are home to some of the largest & most plentiful tripletail in the South. Tripletail are one of the absolute best fish to sight cast, very hard fighters, cooperative eaters, and one of the best table fare you will ever come across! It’s surprising how many people have never heard of or even seen a tripletail. The best description to someone that has never seen one is basically a prehistoric dinosaur looking bream on steroids with razor sharp gill plates, sharp fins and well, 3 tails. Some people think they are gorgeous, some people think they are odd looking but no one can deny how tasty they are! Tripletail are opportunistic feeders that lie motionless until their prey comes close and they strike rapidly. They feed on fish and benthic crustaceans, including gulf menhaden, Atlantic bumper, glass minnows, swimming red crabs, anchovies, shrimp, and squid.
What you should bring:
Drinks & Food
Cooler for your fish
Sunscreen
Dramamine if needed, however we will never be more than 5 miles from shore (we fish for tripletail inshore, not offshore)
Our experienced guides with be with you every step of the way to ensure that you have a safe & memorable experience! Our boats are equipped with necessary USCG safety gear... our number one goal is to keep you safe!
