While Goliath Grouper, aka Jewfish, can be found year-round in Tampa Bay, the peak season runs from May through September. During these months, anglers have the best chance to hook these massive fish, often weighing between 100 to 400 pounds, with some even exceeding 800 pounds. A prime spot for Goliath Grouper fishing is around the Skyway Bridge, where the structures and currents create an ideal habitat for these giants. This season offers unparalleled opportunities to reel in one of these impressive fish and create unforgettable fishing memories.

Captain Will and his son made our fishing experience truly unforgettable! Their knowledge of the waters and fishing spots ensured a fantastic time. The sheer amount of fun we had was matched only by the impressive number of fish we caught—so many that I woke up the next day with pleasantly sore muscles. It was an absolute blast!
Went out on the four hour inshore trip and caught fish the whole time. Captain William Wise put us right where the fish were, and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend this charter to anyone looking to go out in Tampa Bay.
