On the Water

Fishing Perdido Key

Perdido Key offers a unique fishing experience with its clear waters and proximity to both the Gulf and the Intracoastal Waterway. Inshore, we focus on Speckled Trout and Redfish, especially during the spring and fall when conditions are ideal for sight fishing and casting into the grass flats. Cobia are often encountered patrolling the beaches and nearshore reefs, providing an exciting chase. Spanish Mackerel are a common catch during the warmer months, offering fast-paced action. A fishing charter departing from Perdido Key allows for quick access to both protected backwaters and the open Gulf, making for a versatile day on the water.
