Looking for a real fishing adventure that'll get your heart pumping? All Out Fishing LLC knows how to put you on the fish. We're talking about genuine deep sea action where you'll battle some serious gamefish in the beautiful waters off Shalimar. This isn't your typical dock fishing – we're heading offshore where the big boys live.

When you step aboard with All Out Fishing, you're getting the full offshore experience. We'll cruise out to proven fishing spots where the water runs deep and the fish run big. The Gulf waters around Shalimar hold some fantastic structure and reefs that attract baitfish – and where there's bait, there's always hungry predators waiting. Your captain will read the conditions, check the sonar, and position you over the hottest spots. The atmosphere is relaxed but focused – we're here to catch fish, and our crew knows how to make it happen. Families love this trip because our guides are patient with kids and first-timers, but experienced anglers appreciate the serious fishing we deliver. The boat is equipped with everything you need, from rods and reels to tackle and ice for your catch.
We fish these offshore waters using proven methods that consistently produce results. Bottom fishing is our bread and butter – we'll drop you down to structure where snapper and grouper love to hang out. Live bait and fresh cut bait work magic on these reefs, and our crew knows how to rig everything properly. When conditions are right, we'll also do some trolling to pick up pelagic species like Spanish mackerel and little tunny. The tackle is matched to the fish we're targeting – medium to heavy spinning gear for most bottom species, with circle hooks to ensure good hooksets and fish survival. Our guides will show you the right techniques for fighting fish in deep water, including how to work them up from the bottom without losing them to the structure. We provide all the gear, but if you've got a favorite rod you want to bring, that's always welcome.
Red snapper are the crown jewel of Gulf fishing, and these waters around Shalimar hold some beautiful fish. These smart, hard-fighting bottom dwellers live around reefs and structure in 60-120 feet of water. During red snapper season, typically summer months, they're aggressive and fun to catch. When you hook a good red snapper, expect a solid fight with multiple runs toward the bottom. They're known for their bright red coloration and excellent table fare – there's nothing quite like fresh snapper on the grill after a day on the water.
Little tunny, also called false albacore, are speed demons that'll test your drag system. These smaller members of the tuna family are incredibly fast and acrobatic fighters. They typically show up in spring and fall when water temperatures are right, often feeding in schools near the surface. When you find a school of tunnies, the action can be non-stop. They hit trolled baits hard and make blazing runs that'll have your reel screaming. While they're not the best eating, they're pure excitement on the end of your line.
Spanish mackerel are one of the most reliable species in these waters, showing up consistently throughout the warmer months. These sleek predators have razor-sharp teeth and lightning-fast strikes. They're excellent on light tackle and perfect for kids or beginning anglers because they're aggressive and fight hard for their size. Spanish mackerel are also fantastic table fare when prepared fresh – many anglers consider them among the best eating fish in the Gulf.
Scamp grouper are the deep-water cousins of the more common gag grouper, and they're prized by serious bottom fishermen. These fish live in deeper water, often 100+ feet, and they're known for their excellent eating quality. Scamp have a distinctive appearance with their mottled brown coloration and are typically smaller than other grouper species. They're smart fish that require finesse – light leaders and natural baits work best. When you hook a scamp, they'll try to get back to their rocky home, so you need to turn them quickly.
Grey triggerfish are the wild cards of offshore fishing – they're abundant, fun to catch, and surprisingly good fighters. These fish have powerful jaws designed for crushing shellfish and crabs. During triggerfish season, they're often the most abundant species on the reefs. They hit baits aggressively and use their flat, powerful bodies to fight sideways against your line. Triggers are excellent eating with firm, white meat that's perfect for fish tacos or grilling.

Our catamaran handles Gulf swells like a champ, so even kids can fish confidently while parents focus on landing dinner. Whether you're bottom fishing structure or trolling the blue water, this boat gets you to where the big ones bite.
Balistes CapriscusGrey triggerfish are scrappy little fighters that'll keep you busy all day. These diamond-shaped fish with tough, leathery skin average 12-17 inches and make great table fare. You'll find them around reefs, ledges, and hard bottom in 50-180 feet year-round, with summer and fall being most productive. What's fun about triggers? They're aggressive biters and surprisingly strong for their size. They'll steal bait right from under other fish, and their sweet white meat is excellent eating. The trick with triggers is patience - they're notorious bait stealers who'll nip and pick before committing. Use small hooks with squid chunks about an inch wide. Drop to the bottom with 6-8 ounce weights, then reel up fast to keep tension. When you feel that soft tap-tap, set the hook quick and reel fast. They'll head straight for structure to cut you off.
Euthynnus AlletteratusLittle tunny, also called false albacore or bonita, are speed demons that'll test your gear. These torpedo-shaped fighters average 10-12 pounds but can reach 20+ pounds. They travel in noisy schools near the surface around jetties, inlets, and sandbars during warmer months. Fall migration brings the best action as they head south. What draws anglers? The fight is pure adrenaline - they're incredibly strong swimmers that make long runs. While their red meat isn't for everyone, it's actually quite good when prepared right, similar to yellowfin tuna with a stronger flavor. Here's the key: listen for feeding activity - they're loud when they eat. Troll with bright feathers and ballyhoo, or try live bait like pinfish. When fly fishing, let the fish do the work and don't fight too hard or you'll snap the line.
Lutjanus CampechanusRed snapper are the prize catch that keeps anglers coming back. These beautiful pink-to-red fish average 1-2 feet and 5-10 pounds, though trophy fish can hit 20+ pounds. They live around structure in 30-200 feet - wrecks, ledges, and hard bottom areas are prime spots. Spring through fall offers the best action when they're most active. What makes them special? They fight hard, diving straight for cover when hooked, and the meat is absolutely top-notch - sweet, flaky, and perfect for the dinner table. Our local tip: use heavy tackle and get them up fast. Once hooked, they'll try to cut your line on structure, so keep steady pressure and don't let them get back to the bottom. Fresh squid or cigar minnows work great, but live pinfish will get you the biggest ones.
Mycteroperca PhenaxScamp grouper are the connoisseur's choice - hands down the best eating in the grouper family. These chocolate-brown beauties with distinctive tail streamers average 4-6 pounds but can reach 20+ pounds. They hide around rocks, wrecks, and ledges in 75-300 feet, though they move shallower during spring spawning season (February through May). What makes them special? They're called "captain's meat" for good reason - the white, flaky fillets are absolutely delicious. Plus, they put up a solid fight for their size. Here's what works: heavy tackle is a must since they'll try to cut you off in structure. Live pinfish, sardines, or cigar minnows fished right on the bottom. My tip: once you hook one, keep steady pressure and get them away from structure fast. These fish are smart and will wrap you up if you give them slack.
Scomberomorus MaculatusSpanish mackerel are the perfect family fish - fast, fun, and tasty. These streamlined beauties with yellow spots typically run 1-2 feet and 2-4 pounds, swimming in large schools near the surface. You'll find them around structures, flats, and oyster bars in 10-50 feet of water. Spring through fall brings peak action, especially when water temps warm up. Kids love them because they hit hard, make great runs, and taste fantastic grilled or smoked. The mild, flaky meat is perfect for the dinner table. Pro tip: drift to the school instead of motoring right up - it keeps them from spooking. Light tackle with shiny spoons works great, but live shrimp and small baitfish are hard to beat. They're fast, so keep your drag set right and be ready for that initial run.
