Looking to get your line wet in some of the richest fishing waters on the planet? Our Gulf of Mexico shared fishing trips put you right where the action is, without breaking the bank. Perfect for solo anglers who don't want to charter a whole boat, couples looking for their next fishing adventure, or small groups ready to make some memories on the water. We keep it intimate with just 6 anglers max, so you're not fighting for rail space or waiting forever for your turn at the hot spots.
We've got you covered with flexible departure times that work around your schedule. Morning trips kick off at 8:30 AM when the fish are hungry and active, while afternoon departures at 2:00 PM let you sleep in and still get after it. Choose your adventure with 4-hour trips starting at $300 per person or go all-in with 6-hour excursions for $375 per person. The Gulf's structure and current breaks are legendary among serious anglers, and we'll position you over productive bottom where the fish stack up. Our experienced captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, reading the conditions and adjusting tactics throughout the day. Fair warning though – since these are shared trips, we need enough folks signed up to make it happen, so sometimes Mother Nature or booking numbers might force us to reschedule.
Out here in the Gulf, we're fishing structure and working the water column from top to bottom. We'll start with live bait presentations over hard bottom and artificial reefs where the bigger predators patrol. When the bite's hot on top, we'll switch to casting spoons and jigs to schooling fish, but don't be surprised when we drop down heavy jigs to probe the deeper structure where the real monsters live. The Gulf's notorious for its changing conditions, so we stay flexible – one minute we're drift fishing with circle hooks and the next we're anchored up working specific pieces of bottom. All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are included, but feel free to bring your lucky rod if you've got one. We run quality spinning and conventional gear that can handle whatever the Gulf throws at us, from screaming runs to bottom-hugging bruisers that test your drag system.
Red Snapper are the crown jewel of Gulf fishing, and these deep-bodied fighters are what dreams are made of. They're structure-oriented fish that live around reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottom in 60-200 feet of water. Reds are aggressive feeders that'll slam a well-presented bait, then use their broad sides and powerful tails to make blistering runs toward the bottom. Peak season runs from June through July during federal season, though state waters sometimes offer additional opportunities. What makes them special isn't just the fight – it's that sweet, flaky white meat that grills up perfect for dinner.
Amberjack are the bulldozers of the Gulf, and hooking into a big AJ will test every ounce of your fishing skills. These powerful fish cruise around structure in schools, often in 80-150 feet of water, and when they hit your bait, you'll know it. They're notorious for making long, powerful runs straight down toward the structure, using their broad shoulders and endless stamina to wear you out. Spring and fall are prime time for big Amberjack, when they're most active and feeding heavily. The fight alone makes them worth targeting – imagine arm-burning, drag-screaming battles that can last 20 minutes or more.
King Mackerel patrol the Gulf's blue water edges and current breaks, making them perfect targets for our trolling spreads. These silver rockets can stretch over 40 inches and are built for speed, with razor-sharp teeth and attitude to match. They're most active during spring and fall migrations when they move through Gulf waters in massive schools. What makes Kings so exciting is their explosive strikes and blistering runs – they'll test your reflexes and your equipment with lightning-fast direction changes and aerial displays.
