Below is a list of fish most commonly caught on our full day adventures.
- Gag Grouper to 30 lbs

While this list is of the most common species and sizes caught, keep in mind that we often catch Mahi Mahi (Dolphin fish), large Barracuda, several species of sharks, Bonito, African Pompano, Permit, and Tuna.
When booking your adventure, let us know what species you’d like to target as this determines which direction we head out of the pass in Venice. As you can imagine, the Gulf of Mexico is very large and the distance can be great between the location of species.
