Species You'll Want to Hook

The waters around Melbourne are teeming with a variety of gamefish that'll put your skills to the test. Here's a rundown of some top targets you might encounter on your 3-hour adventure:

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are a favorite among anglers for their hard-fighting nature. They love to hang out near structures and grass flats, often revealing their presence with a tell-tale tail sticking out of the water as they feed. Redfish can range from just a few pounds to over 40, so be ready for anything when you hook into one of these beauties.

Spotted Seatrout: Also known as speckled trout, these fish are abundant in the area and make for excellent sport on light tackle. They're known for their speckled pattern and their tendency to strike lures aggressively. Trout are most active during the cooler months but can be caught year-round with the right approach.

Snook: These sleek, powerful fish are prized catches in Florida waters. They're ambush predators that love to hang around mangroves, docks, and other structures. Snook are famous for their acrobatic leaps and strong runs, making them a thrilling catch on both live bait and artificial lures.

Jack Crevalle: If you're looking for a fish that pulls like a freight train, jacks are your target. These high-energy predators often travel in schools, creating exciting topwater action when they're in a feeding frenzy. They're not the best for eating, but pound-for-pound, they're some of the hardest fighting fish in these waters.

Tarpon: While less common on shorter trips, there's always a chance of hooking into one of these silver kings. Tarpon are known for their spectacular aerial displays and can grow to massive sizes. Even smaller juvenile tarpon provide an unforgettable battle on appropriate tackle.

Remember, the species we target can vary based on season, weather conditions, and current regulations. Our captain stays up-to-date on where the fish are biting and what's in season, ensuring you have the best shot at a productive day on the water.
