Fish on the Wish List

King Mackerel: These speedsters are the drag-screamers of the reef. Known for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps, King Mackerel can reach over 5 feet long and put up a fight that'll leave your arms aching (in the best way possible). They're most active in the cooler months, making fall and winter prime time for targeting these silver missiles.

Hogfish: Don't let their goofy looks fool you – these tasty critters are prized catches. With their pig-like snouts and vibrant colors, Hogfish are not only fun to catch but are considered some of the best eating fish in the Keys. They're crafty and often require a bit of finesse to hook, making them a favorite challenge for anglers in the know.

Mutton Snapper: These bruisers are the heavyweight champs of the snapper world. Known for their strong initial run and dogged fights, Mutton Snapper can really test your skills. They're year-round residents but seem to bite best during the warmer months. And once you get them to the boat, you're in for a treat – their firm, white flesh is top-notch for the dinner table.

Gag Grouper: When it comes to pure power, few fish in these waters can match a Gag Grouper. These bottom-dwelling brutes are known for their hard hits and even harder fights as they try to wrap you around the nearest structure. They're most active in the cooler months and make for some epic battles – and even better eating.
