How to Catch Red Fish, Trout, and Flounder: A Fisherman’s Dream
There is nothing better than spending a day out on the water catching some fish like redfish, trout or flounder and inhaling that salty breeze and a fishing rod in hand. At Jerald Coastal Tours we make it easy for both the beginner and the seasoned angler to have the unforgettable time on the Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Our favorite part? Seeing the excitement on someone’s face when they hook their first trout or haul in a big, beautiful flounder. And of course, when you’re catching fish like redfish, you know it’s going to be a great day. We’ll also take you to our best hotspots for mackerel and the sleek, powerful cobia, a favorite for those who love a challenge.
Face the Ocean Giants: Big Sharks Such as Bullsharks
Feeling adventurous? Let’s talk sharks. Yes, big sharks such as bullsharks patrol these waters, and with the right gear and guidance (that’s where we come in), you just might get the catch of a lifetime. There’s nothing quite like battling one of these strong swimmers. It’s a heart-pounding experience that will leave you with stories for years.
Even if you just catch sight of one up close or catch one yourself they are the moments you’ll remember for the rest of your life. And trust us we’ll be right there with you, making it safe, interesting and fun.
Sightseeing: Manatees, Dolphins, Sea Turtles, and Birds Steal the Show
Not into fishing? No worries, there is plenty of nature lovers as well! Our tours are ideal for sightseeing; manatees, elegant dolphins, and occasionally a sea turtle all cruise through the placid coastal waters. These peaceful creatures are local legends and it is always crowd favorite to spot them.
As we navigate through mangroves and estuaries you will be amazed how many birds that are nesting in the trees or flying overhead. Ranging from herons, pelicans, to ospreys, the list goes booking anything we’re likely to observe. Don’t forget your camera!
Step Back in Time on Historical Islands
One of the most interesting things about our tours is the ability to visit historical islands which tell a tale of old Florida. The places are full of character behind the towns—from old shell mounds to the ruins of forgotten homesteads. With us drifting by or dropping anchor while we explore, you’re going to feel a real taste of the past in the region.
Historical islands add a rich layer of depth to our trips. It is not only water, but history that lives in it.
Close Your Day with a 7:30 pm Tour in Withlacoochee
There’s nothing more satisfying to wind up a day filled with catching redfish, or watching dolphins, or seeing the historic islands than our peaceful 7:30 pm tour of Withlacoochee. The evening light is just right, no rough waters and the wildlife.
Whatever it is that you seek, if you’re trying for cobia or sea turtles or if you’re simply visiting for the view, we promise that day will never be one to forget.
