Species: Amberjack

Brittany pulled this amberjack off an artificial reef, a common location to find this powerful fighting jack. Reaching huge sizes, amberjack are incredibly hard to pull away from structure, leading to many lost fish. On the Pacific Coast, yellowtail resemble amberjack in fighting power and appearance.

Species: Snook

Ashley shows off her snook catch, fought from underneath the mangroves in the background. Florida waters (pictured here) are just one of the places snook call home. Along the wild Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, snook and tarpon dominate the landscape. Capt. Jimmy Nelson

Species: Cobia

Next up for Crystal was a hefty cobia, a true armful for this lady angler. Each summer, anglers look forward to the Mid-Atlantic cobia run, starting along Florida beaches and heading north to North Carolina and Virginia nearshore waters. Capt. Jimmy Nelson

Species: Speckled Seatrout

Luzia was so happy she caught this “school-size” speckled seatrout that she offered it a kiss. Called trout, specks or seatrout depending on the state, this species has an impressive following in the Southeast. Along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, ideal saltwater-marsh habitat holds impressive numbers of the popular inshore gamefish. Capt. Jimmy Nelson

Species: Redfish

Sarah landed this legal-size redfish along a shallow shoreline in a brackish water bay. Redfish are complete suckers for scented soft baits. One favorite technique is to blind-cast a scented artificial rigged to a jighead near oyster bars. Capt. Jimmy Nelson

Species: Blackfin Tuna

Amanda landed this blackfin tuna without getting bloody. Tasty tuna are often gaffed to make sure they make it to the cooler, and eventually dinner table. Anglers sometimes pull spreader bars to attract tuna while trolling. Not only do the bars get bites, but they attract fish to the back of the boat. Check out this photo gallery of blackfin tuna fishing near Oregon Inlet, North Carolina. Capt. Jimmy Nelson

Species: Seatrout

Sport Fishing Girl Meagan with a nice seatrout caught off Cat Island while fishing with Capt. Sonny Schindler, of Shore Thing Charters. Cat Island is a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, but falls under the jurisdiction of Harrison County, Mississippi. All images in the following gallery are from fishing trips with Shore Thing Charters, unless otherwise stated. WIN $200 IN CLOTHING!

Species: Black Drum

The muddy, brackish waters of Mississippi hide massive black drum. Meaghan had a little trouble handling her catch before releasing it. The best natural bait for black drum is half of a blue crab, an abundant crustacean in shallow Gulf waters. Capt. Sonny Schindler

Species: Seatrout

Lightning struck twice for Dacy, as she landed another seatrout in the Louisiana marsh, south of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Even though speckled trout are available from New York to Texas, hot spots include Virginia, Florida, Mississippi and Texas. Capt. Sonny Schindler

Species: Black Drum

Meaghan and Kelly, from New Orleans, with black puppy drum catches from Bay St. Louis. Check out this video to learn some interesting fish facts about black drum. Capt. Sonny Schindler

Species: Flounder

Michelle landed this “doormat” flounder while fishing in the Louisiana marsh, south of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. If you check out a map of the Gulf Coast, you’ll notice that it’s often a shorter (and quicker) run from the Mississippi Coast than many Louisiana ports to get to prime eastern Louisiana marsh areas. Capt. Sonny Schindler

Species: Seatrout

Rozanne shows off a big trout from the Louisiana marsh. The salt marsh is tidally flooded, flat in elevation, brackish, and mostly dominated by salt-tolerant grasses. There’s not all that much biological diversity, when compared to other marsh ecosystems, but it’s still a factory for inshore fish species. Capt. Sonny Schindler

Species: Barracuda

Chrystal fished the nearshore waters of Naples, Florida, to land this barracuda. Anglers sometimes bust the lip off a shallow water hardbait to mimic an erratic, fleeing baitfish at the water’s surafce. Cudas on the flats and near offshore wrecks attack this fishing technique with vigor. WIN $200 IN CLOTHING! Sport Fishing Girls galleries are created from photos sent to us by hardcore lady anglers.
