Pine Key's waters are teeming with a variety of fish that'll test your skills and make for some great stories. While Captain Jordan doesn't guarantee specific species, here's a taste of what you might encounter:
Snook: These hard-fighting fish love to hang around structure. They're known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps. Spring and fall are prime times for snook, but they can be caught year-round if you know where to look.
Redfish: With their distinctive spot near the tail, redfish are a favorite among anglers. They put up a great fight and are delicious if you're looking to keep a few for dinner. Look for them tailing in shallow water or cruising the flats.
Tarpon: Known as the "silver king," hooking into a tarpon is like trying to stop a freight train. These massive fish can reach over 100 pounds and are famous for their spectacular leaps. Peak season is typically May through July, but you can find some year-round.
Speckled Trout: These guys might not be the biggest, but they're fun to catch and great eating. You'll often find them in grassy areas, and they're suckers for a well-presented artificial lure.
Remember, the captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, so he'll put you on whatever's running hot that day.
