We just want to pass along some info about Amendment 16 that will impose a closed season for shallow-water grouper fishing from January 1 through April. This embargo on recreational and commercial fishing for grouper covers 11 species in total: gag, black, red, scamp, rock hind, coney, misty, graysby, yellowfin, yellowmouth and tiger grouper.
These restrictions are definitely going to impact the sport of fishing in Florida although it seems that it was overfishing of certain species that led to these changes.
Captain Ralph Delphi of Key West made the statement that “The Keys differ so greatly from Central Florida, and from the Carolinas, to make rules that apply to all regions equally is ludicrous. It’s going to be a great disaster economically for all Florida. Even today, I don’t really think that most recreational anglers are even aware of these closures.”
We’ll see what happens and we’ll keep you posted. Write back and let us know what you think and if you need more information!

Florida Fishing Charters have become more and more popular as an opportunity for corporate groups to break out of the traditional Las Vegas-type of how to plan corporate events and instead get back to nature and fresh air. We’ve hosted so many more charter groups lately; fishing trips with professional fishermen are definitely in style! We are very knowledgeable Tampa Bay fishing guides and can assist you to plan an amazing event for employees or clients or both.
We will customize the fishing trip to whatever you want from Inshore Fishing Charters to Flying Fishing Charters. We’ve got the unparalleled Boca Grande Pass and all the Tampa Bay Florida fishing at our disposal!
For the Inshore Fishing in Florida we’re hooking Redfish, Trout, Snook, Tarpon, Permit, and Cobia. Fishing the inshore waters of Florida’s Gulf Coast can offer some of the biggest variety of species to catch.
As far as fly fishing, well, that’s one of the reasons that our mission statement is “Hooking you on one of life’s pure pleasures.” Catches range from Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Trout, Cobia, Mackerel and Jacks. If you’re looking for some true solitude on the waters of the Gulf Coast and an adventure you’ll be talking about for a long time, this is the charter for you.
