Snook are ambush predators often found in the bay and mangroves. They are fun to catch and put up an awesome fight. 

Redfish, also known as red drum, channel bass, puppy drum, and spottail bass. They can be caught on a variety of natural and artificial bait. Live bait such as live shrimp, mud minnows, or small baitfish like mullet are great for tarketing redfish.

Speckled Trout are the most commonly targeted species in the grass flats. They have a dark gray or green back with a fading silvery or white belly. Black spots on their back extend to their dorsal fins and tail. They can get up to 30" (10lbs). Their habitat is in coastal waters over sandy bottoms or seagrass beds. They are great eating and fun to catch!
