Mahi-Mahi (Dolphin)
Fight Level: 💪💪💪💪💪 — Lightning-fast and acrobatic, mahi bring nonstop excitement. They leap, dive, and dart in every direction once hooked.
Taste Level: 🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️ — One of the best-tasting fish in the ocean. Mild, buttery, and flaky — ideal for grilling or tacos.
About: Bright, bold, and beautiful, mahi are the showstoppers of offshore fishing. You’ll find them around weed lines and floating debris, striking lures with unmatched aggression. They fight hard, photograph well, and taste even better.
Offshore Target Fish
Snapper (Red, Lane, Mangrove)
Fight Level: 💪💪💪 — Hard pullers with quick runs and strong headshakes.
Taste Level: 🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️ — A Florida favorite — white, flaky, and perfectly sweet.
About: Snapper are the bread-and-butter of Florida’s reef fishing. Found around structure, they’re smart, strong, and incredibly satisfying to catch — and eat. Whether you’re after big red snapper or steady mangroves, it’s always a good day with these fish on deck.
Grouper (Gag, Red, Scamp)
Fight Level: 💪💪💪💪💪 — Think “battling a cinder block.” Their initial strike and dive for cover will test your strength every time.
Taste Level: 🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️ — Firm, clean, and rich. One of the most prized table fish in Florida.
About: Grouper are bottom dwellers with serious attitude. They live in wrecks, ledges, and reefs — and the first few seconds after the bite are everything. Pull fast or lose your chance.
Amberjack
Fight Level: 💪💪💪💪💪💪 — Pound for pound, one of the toughest fish out there. If you’re looking for a workout, this is it.
Taste Level: 🍽️🍽️🍽️ — Good fresh, better smoked.
About: They don’t call them “reef donkeys” for nothing — these bruisers hit hard and fight until your arms beg for mercy. They’re all about endurance, grit, and bragging rights.
wahoo
Fight Level: 💪💪💪💪💪💪 — A rocket with fins. Blistering runs, insane bursts of speed, and no room for error.
Taste Level: 🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️ — Excellent table fish — white, mild, and perfect for sashimi or searing.
About: Few fish scream “offshore adrenaline” like a wahoo. Known for explosive hits and record-breaking speed (up to 60 mph), these predators strike like lightning and vanish just as fast. Landing one feels like winning the ocean lottery.
Sharks (Offshore)
Fight Level: 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 — Maximum power. The fight is pure chaos — runs, turns, and brute force.
Taste Level: 🍽️ — Most are released, though smaller species can be kept when regulations allow.
About: Big water, big predators. Offshore sharks — including hammerheads, bulls, and spinners — are the ocean’s apex athletes. They’ll test your tackle, stamina, and nerve.
Sailfish
Fight Level: 💪💪💪💪💪💪 — Pure power and grace. Long runs, wild jumps, and a fight you’ll never forget.
Taste Level: 🚫 — Not a table fish — sailfish are prized for the fight, not the fillet.
About: The sailfish is Florida’s official state saltwater fish — and for good reason. Sleek, fast, and armed with a sail that cuts through the water like art in motion, these fish define sportfishing. Catching and releasing one is the offshore equivalent of hitting a grand slam — rare, thrilling, and unforgettable.
