Captain’s Corner with Anthony – January 2023

What’s the difference between inshore and offshore fishing? Captian Anthony tells us that at Crocodile Bay; it’s all about the distance away from land, the depth of water we are fishing, the techniques we use and the species we target.

Check out the video to learn more about inshore fishing at Crocodile Bay, where we are looking to catch Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Colorado Snapper, Bluefin Trevally, Amberjacks and African Pompano.

Please enjoy Captain Anthony’s video below:

We fish Offshore trolling for Pacific Sailfish, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, and Mahi Mahi. Deeper water can also bring Alamco Jacks and Grouper caught with jigs and live baits.

Don’t forget one of Capt. Anthony’s favorites: Casting poppers to yellowfin Tuna.
