The sailfish is not a fish to target in the waters of the Gulf. If one is caught it is an incidental happening and an exciting occasion. Rather than setting out on a "sailfish" trip it is best to book a long deep water trolling trip and see what kind of sea monsters show up.

Catch them from June through October.

Bag limit: 1 per person per day.

Size limit: 63" from the bottom of the jaw to fork of the tail.

These are a tag and release fish.
