Florida fish identification

Florida fish identification can be a tricky job!

If you're fishing without an experienced Florida charter or guide, it's important to know your Florida fish, as some varieties resemble gamefish but are NOT legal to keep. Do your homework and learn how to correctly identify your fish!

Coming Soon: Florida Fishing Vacations Advisor's NEW Fish Identification Series!

Look for our brand-new Fish Identification series to be rolled out beginning in early 2008. We'll provide photos, illustrations, and even video to allow you to easily identify many of the most sought-after Florida fish. We'll also review techniques, baits that work best for each species, seasons, and where the best fishing spots are in Florida.
