[Valv]

What can we catch on a budget charter in January ?

Planning a trip with the Mrs....

You can take a party boat out and get after reef fish like snapper, grouper, grunts, and porgies. Depends on open seasons as well, where are going to be visiting?

I am not visiting, I'm trying to plan a trip if possible, I would like tuna fishing, the season is there, right ?

[fisherdog19]

I'm on the Gulf Coast and there are no tuna on our side. The east coast has yellowfin, but I'm unsure how far out you need to go. The keys have blackfin available but I know little about either area's.

Tunas can be caught on the humps occasionally in the winter time but more of a summer time thing. Winter time is mostly sailfish, kingfish, cobia, and reef fishing snapper, grouper, etc... offshore. Backcountry mackerel, trout, redfish, snook, pompano, ladyfish, snappers, etc...

Hey Valv,

I travel to FL often and if your taking the wife down for a fishing trip I would go the Inshore route, that would be redfish, snook, trout, flounder,etc and it will cost you about half in charter gas money etc. Where abouts you going may I suggest a great captain friend????
