Deep sea fishing is an excellent option for vacations to the Gulf. The Gulf waters are home for large Billfish and Tuna species. Yellowfin Tuna and Bluefin are the most popular species along the coast of Florida. Sailfish, Blackfin, Bluefin and Bluefin are all popular in deeper water. There is no better place to experience deep sea fishing in the Gulf shores than on a charter boat.

Charter fishing

Charter fishing is a popular option in the Gulf. You don't have to be the only one packing. Charter boats offer fishing supplies, a tip for the captain and mate, and food and drinks. Before you get on the boat, however, you should prepare your own food and drinks. You should also be ready to sunburn if the Gulf coast sun is too bright.

Tuna

If you're looking to go deep sea fishing for tuna in the Gulf shores of Florida, you've come to the right place. You'll likely catch multiple species of tuna in the Gulf waters. Tuna are known to travel up to sixty miles offshore per day. Because they move so far, they can be caught at any time of day, but you'll have the best luck fishing just before or after daybreak. The taste of the delicious meat will be unforgettable, and you'll surely want to try it in sushi.
