Kingfish

Kingfish are easily recognizable by their distinct yellow tails and (dorsal, pectoral, caudal) fins. They are fast-swimming, streamlined carnivores with smooth scales. They typically eat Silvery live baits such pilchards, threadfin herring, menhaden, mullet and blue runners.

These Gigantic Grouper reach sizes over 8 feet and can weigh as much as 600lbs. These are somewhat easy to catch here because they are very inquisitive and generally fearless. Eats other fish, octopuses, sea turtles, sharks, and barracuda. They are known to attack divers and lemon sharks.

Trip length, time of year, and weather determine opportunities to catch various species. While our highly experienced captains will make every effort to target your preferred species, we cannot guarantee landing a specific fish.
