State records from the water off Malabar

Florida's all-tackle list records one species taken on Indian River, which the boats here fish.

Heaviest on the list

Striped Bass

Why this one is here

The record was taken on Indian River, which is the water the boats on this page fish — not Malabar itself. A record is what came over the rail once; it is not what to expect on a trip.

What deep sea fish can I keep in Malabar in October?

Under Florida's rules you can keep amberjack, king mackerel, mahi-mahi, tuna, wahoo and cobia. For red snapper and grouper it depends on the dates or whether the boat holds a federal permit. Sailfish and marlin can legally be kept, but only within strict rules: Sailfish must measure 63 inches, lower jaw to fork, and in federal waters the boat needs a federal HMS permit. Blue marlin must measure 99 inches and white marlin 66 inches, lower jaw to fork, and the boat needs a federal HMS permit. Seasons change, so check each fish page or ask the captain before you keep one.
