Alabama Fish Species With Tactical Tide Kayak Guide

Discover the Variety of Fish in Alabama

Blackfin Tuna Fishing

Blackfin Tuna are a top target on Tactical Tide’s offshore private trips. Known for their blistering speed and hard-hitting runs, these tuna are an exciting challenge for any kayak angler. Found in deeper waters off the Gulf Coast, Blackfin respond well to vertical jigging and live bait presentations, offering fast-paced action and a serious test of angling skill.

Grey Triggerfish Fishing

Grey Triggerfish are an underrated powerhouse on the reef. Their strong jaws and aggressive strikes make them a fun species to battle from the kayak. Typically found around offshore structure, they’re known for being both feisty and delicious—making them a highly sought-after catch on both offshore and single private trips.

Gulf Grouper Fishing

Grouper are a favorite among bottom-fishing enthusiasts, and catching them from a kayak adds an extra layer of excitement. With their heavy, deep-water fights and the possibility of landing a true Gulf Coast trophy, Gulf Grouper are a staple target on offshore private trips. Patience and power are key to pulling these bruisers out of their rocky hideouts.

King Mackerel Fishing

King Mackerel—also known as Kingfish—are fast, aggressive, and known for their long, drag-screaming runs. These razor-toothed predators are frequently targeted on both offshore and single trips, especially when trolling or casting with live bait. Their speed and strength make them a thrilling opponent for any kayak angler.

Red Snapper Fishing

A Gulf Coast classic, Red Snapper are prized for both their fight and their flavor. These bright red reef dwellers hit hard and head straight for the bottom, requiring fast reflexes and stout gear to land successfully. Snapper season is a highlight for many anglers, and our kayak trips offer a unique way to experience it up close.

Atlantic Bonito Fishing

Atlantic Bonito are lightning-fast, schooling fish that offer high-speed action on light tackle. These streamlined predators are commonly encountered during single private trips and make for an exciting fight. Their aggressive feeding habits mean quick hookups and adrenaline-pumping battles just offshore.
