Sailfish are the constant, caught in every quarter of the year. Marlin is the summer and autumn fish, from July through December. Roosterfish show up in the summer months.
Spring is for the bottom. Snapper and grouper are the April to June catch. Mahi-mahi, wahoo and yellowfin come and go through the year, so ask what has been biting that week before you pick a trip.
