Get ready to make the most of Red Snapper season with All Out Fishing LLC's premier 10-hour offshore charter. When the federal waters open up for these coveted bottom dwellers, there's no better way to spend your day than with our experienced crew who know exactly where the snappers stack up. This isn't just another fishing trip – it's your shot at filling the cooler with some of the Gulf's most prized eating fish while enjoying a full day on the water with up to 5 of your fishing buddies.
Your 10-hour adventure starts early, because that's when the fish bite best and you'll want every minute of that extended window. We'll head out to the productive offshore waters where Red Snapper congregate around structure, ledges, and artificial reefs. With a maximum of 6 anglers on board, you'll have plenty of elbow room at the rail and personalized attention from our captain who's been working these waters for years. The extended trip length means we can hit multiple spots if the action slows down, and you'll have time to target other species that call these same waters home. Bring your own food and drinks since meals aren't provided – most folks pack a cooler with sandwiches, snacks, and plenty of water to stay fueled for the long haul.
Red Snapper fishing is all about precision bottom fishing over the right structure. We'll be using heavy tackle with circle hooks and enough weight to get your bait down through the current to where these fish live. The captain will position the boat over productive bottom using GPS and fish finder technology, then it's up to you to drop your rig down and feel for that distinctive snapper bite. We typically fish with cut bait, squid, or live bait depending on conditions. The key is keeping your bait on or near the bottom where snappers feed, and being ready for that quick hookset when they grab it. Don't worry if you're new to bottom fishing – our crew will show you the ropes and help you dial in your technique throughout the day.
Red Snapper are the star of the show, and for good reason. These hard-fighting bottom dwellers typically run 3-8 pounds in our area, with some real doormat fish pushing 10+ pounds if you're lucky. They're most active during the cooler parts of the day and when there's good current flow over the structure. What makes snapper fishing so addictive is their aggressive bite and the fact that they're hands-down some of the best eating fish in the Gulf. Spanish Mackerel add some variety to the mix, especially during the warmer months. These speed demons hit fast and fight hard, typically running 1-3 pounds and perfect for light tackle action. Scamp Grouper are the bonus fish that every angler hopes for – they're less common but absolutely worth the wait, with their sweet white meat and strong fight from the deep water. King Mackerel show up when conditions are right, offering some serious drag-screaming action on bigger tackle. These toothy predators can range from school-size fish around 10 pounds to true giants over 30 pounds. Grey Triggerfish round out your target list as another excellent table fare option. They're abundant during their season and have a unique fighting style that's different from anything else you'll hook.

Balistes CapriscusGrey Triggerfish are scrappy fighters that'll surprise you with their attitude. These tough customers average around 17 inches and can hit 13 pounds, sporting leather-like skin and a small beak mouth packed with sharp teeth. They hang around hard bottom, reefs, and ledges in 180 feet or less, always ready to charge any bait that drops down. They're year-round residents but fish best in warmer months. What's fun is their aggressive feeding - they'll compete with other fish for your bait and put up a solid scrap once hooked. The meat is firm and tasty, though you need to skin them due to that tough hide. Here's the trick: use squid chunks about an inch wide since they like to nip before committing. Drop your bait near snapper or grouper - triggers are greedy and will rush in to steal food from other fish.
Scomberomorus CavallaKing Mackerel are pure adrenaline on the end of your line. These silver rockets average around 30 pounds but can hit 90+ pounds, with females growing much larger than males. You'll find them cruising in 40-150 feet, though the big ones often come from deeper water up to 590 feet. They prefer water temps between 68-84°F, so spring through fall is prime time. What gets anglers fired up is their blistering speed - only wahoo can match them. They hit trolled baits like freight trains and make long, powerful runs that'll test your equipment. The meat is rich and oily, perfect for grilling or smoking. Here's the key: rig with two hooks on a wire leader - one in the bait's nose, one trailing behind. Kings often hit the back half of your bait first, and those razor teeth will cut regular line instantly.
Lutjanus CampechanusRed Snapper are the crown jewel of Gulf fishing, averaging 1-2 feet and 5-10 pounds, though they can reach 35+ pounds. These bright red beauties live around structure in 30-620 feet of water - think reefs, wrecks, and rocky ledges. They're true warriors when hooked, making powerful runs toward cover that'll test your drag and nerves. The season typically runs May through October, with prime action in summer months. What makes them special isn't just the fight - it's that sweet, flaky white meat that's restaurant-quality every time. Here's the trick: when you hook one, keep steady pressure and get them up quick. They'll head straight for the nearest structure to cut your line, so don't give them slack. Drop heavy baits like cigar minnows or fresh squid right to the bottom where they live.
Mycteroperca PhenaxScamp Grouper are the premium eating fish of the grouper family - some call them "Captain's Meat" for good reason. These chocolate-brown beauties average 4-6 pounds and under 3 feet, but don't let the size fool you. They're ambush predators hiding around rocks, ledges, and wrecks in 75-300 feet of water. February through May is prime time when they move shallow to spawn. What makes them special is that incredible fight - they're slow but incredibly strong, testing even experienced anglers. The meat is absolutely top-shelf, sweet and flaky. Guests love the challenge because every hookup is a genuine battle. Here's what works: use heavy braided line and get them up fast. Once hooked, they'll dive straight for structure and try to cut you off. Keep steady pressure and don't let them get their head down.
Scomberomorus MaculatusSpanish Mackerel are speed demons that'll give you a blast on light tackle. These silver bullets average 1-2 feet and 8-11 pounds, but they're built for speed - hitting 18 feet per second when they take off. You'll find schools of them near the surface around reefs, piers, and jetties, especially in warmer months when they move closer to shore. They migrate south in winter, so timing matters. What guests love is the non-stop action - these fish travel in huge schools that can stretch for miles. Plus, they're fantastic eating with mild, flaky meat that grills perfectly. The fight is electric but short - they'll make screaming runs then tire quick. Pro tip: when you see birds working or bait jumping, get there fast but drift into the school quietly. Spook them with the motor and they'll disappear in seconds.
