The following is a list of the off shore fish that we might catch on aboard the "Intimidator" on a typical day fishing trip.
Snapper
There are only a few types of snapper that are found in the northern gulf. The American Red Snapper is the most popular of these and can grow in excess of 20 lbs. The vermilion or "bee-liner" is a smaller snapper that is commonly caught as well. The "bee-liner" is a very tasty fish and is generally caught in deeper water.

Triggerfish
This is one of the best tasting fish in the entire gulf! Although it is not much for looking at but it has very white flaky meat that can be prepared any number of ways. Just ask us when you catch one and we will be glad to show you why it is called a triggerfish.

Amberjack
Pound for pound one of the hardest fighting fish that swims any where in the world. These big bruisers must be 28" to keep and can be commonly caught on live and artificial baits.

Grouper
It is the saltwater equivalent to the large mouth bass. The late fall through early spring is best time to catch them when they move from the deeper water.

Cobia
Commonly mistaken for a shark it will on occasion swim right up to the boat. It is a large fish that can be taken by a drift line. They will start there spawning run from the east to west pattern in late march. They will move right down the beach and can be taken during this migration by sight fishing.

The following is a list of the off shore fish that we might catch on aboard the "Intimidator" on a typical over night fishing trip.
Dolphin
The dolphin is one of the world's premiere offshore sport fish, found worldwide in tropical waters. When hooked, these colorful fish will leap many times before settling down to slug it out, turning their flat-sided bodies against you.

Blue Marlin
Of all the world's marine game fish, none is more celebrated or generates more excitement than the blue marlin. The fish of Hemingway's Old Man and The Sea fights with a strength that is only exceeded by that of the giant tuna, and often makes spectacular leaps when first hooked.

White Marlin
 
The White Marlin is the little brother to the bigger Blue Marlin but it will crash trolled baits, and when hooked, often leaps successively by "gray-hounding." Due to this penchant for wasting energy by leaping, a characteristic of all billfish, the white marlin seldom initiates a bulldogging battle.

Sailfish
Sailfish are memorable opponents. With a flair for the dramatic, they'll make a sizzling run and then jump their heart out. Many anglers revere the sailfish as the greatest light tackle quarry. These spectacular fish are found worldwide in tropical and subtropical waters. Atlantic sailfish grow larger in the eastern Atlantic than they do along the Americas, where they average around 30 pounds. Pacific sailfish can top 200 pounds, but average closer to 100.

Yellow Fin Tuna
The Yellow fin is perhaps the most colorful of all the tuna. Found globally in tropical and subtropical seas, it's one of the world's most popular fish. Even small Yellow fin tax light tackle to the limits, and the brute strength of larger fish requires heavy stand-up gear.

Wahoo
Wahoo are found in the Gulf of Mexico waters and are considered to be one of the fastest and best tasting of all the game fish. These long, torpedo-shaped fish can grow to weights exceeding 100 pounds and can rip off line at speeds exceeding 60 miles per hour, sometimes taking to the air in the process. We fish for Wahoo even on a day trip and really enjoy catching them as does anyone hence the name WAHOO!"
