A wonderful sport on the light, the snook is a small prey but well worth the time it takes to catch it.
5. Red drum

Once a poached species, this species is now a conservation success story.

A generic name for many deep-water species, these bottom dwellers are important to both recreational and commercial anglers. Red grouper and muzzle grouper (sometimes called black grouper) are more common among hunters. Anglers usually "bottom fish" of this species, but during the cooler months, they can be caught in shallow water by trolling with artificial bait.
9. The Snapper
Marine species are usually found at elevations of 60 to 440 feet. Red snapper is pink to red in color, and its pointed anal end distinguishes it from other members of the snapper family. Young red snapper died by the millions in shrimp trawls, but new regulations have helped the species bounce back. The red snapper is one of the finest fish found in Florida waters.
10. Mackerel
This family includes both king mackerel and its younger cousin, the Spanish mackerel. This fish can be found in the western Atlantic Ocean from Maine to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico. One of the most important ocean predators in the state, the Kingfish is a favorite target of tournament fishermen.
