Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod, we've got you covered. We'll zip out to the hottest fishing spots, show you the ropes, and have you reeling in some impressive catches before you know it. It's the perfect way to scratch that fishing itch without taking up your whole day.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as you hop aboard, we'll get you geared up and head straight for the action. Our captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll waste no time getting to where the fish are biting. You'll be casting lines within minutes of leaving the dock. We keep things simple and fun, focusing on techniques that even beginners can pick up quickly. Expect a mix of bottom fishing and light tackle action, depending on what's running that day. And don't worry - we're here to help you land that trophy fish, whether it's your first or your fiftieth!

Rods, Reels, and Hotspots

We've got all the gear you need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. We typically use light to medium spinning gear, perfect for the inshore species we're after. You might find yourself dropping lines near structure like oyster beds or grass flats, or we might cruise the shoreline looking for signs of feeding fish. Our captain will show you how to read the water and spot telltale signs of where the fish are hanging out. You'll learn how to cast accurately, set the hook, and play your catch - skills you can use on any future fishing trips.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi, also known as Dorado or Common Dolphinfish, are one of the most exciting catches you can hope for on this trip. These beautiful fish are known for their acrobatic jumps and vibrant colors. They're fast swimmers and put up a great fight on light tackle. Mahi typically range from 15 to 30 pounds in our waters, but larger ones aren't uncommon. They're usually found near floating debris or weed lines, and they love to chase after fast-moving lures. The best time to target Mahi is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall.

Wahoo are another prized catch on our inshore trips. These streamlined speedsters are some of the fastest fish in the sea, known to reach speeds up to 60 mph! They're a bit trickier to hook, but the thrill of the chase is worth it. Wahoo typically weigh between 15 to 40 pounds, though trophy-sized fish over 100 pounds have been caught in these waters. They're most active in the late summer and fall, and they love to hit trolled lures or live bait. When a Wahoo strikes, hold on tight - their initial run is legendary!

Crevalle Jack, often called "jacks" by locals, are the bulldogs of the inshore waters. These powerful fish might not win any beauty contests, but they'll give you one of the best fights pound-for-pound. Jacks typically range from 5 to 15 pounds, but larger ones over 20 pounds aren't rare. They're around all year, but they're especially active in the warmer months. Look for them in schools near structures or chasing bait fish near the surface. When you hook one, be prepared for a battle - these fish don't give up easily!

Learn more about the species

Crevalle Jack

Crevalle Jack are real bruisers, usually 12-24 inches and 3-5 pounds but can reach 60 pounds. You'll find them in shallow bays, reefs, and even offshore down to 1100 feet. They love structure like oil rigs and floating mats where they hunt baitfish. These guys are bullies of the ocean - they'll chase anything that moves. Watch for birds diving on bait schools they've pushed to the surface. That's your cue to cast. Use lures that mimic mullet or sardines and retrieve fast. Spoons, crankbaits, or live bait all work well. For a real thrill, try topwater plugs when they're feeding near the surface. Crevalle put up an incredible fight and often travel in schools, so be ready for multiple hookups. They're not great eating, but man are they fun to catch. Remember to watch your fingers - those gill plates are razor sharp.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi are some of the prettiest fish you'll ever see - electric blues and greens with golden sides. They average 15-30 pounds but can top 80. You'll find them in warm offshore waters, often near floating debris or weed lines. These acrobatic fighters are a blast to catch and even better to eat. Their firm, sweet meat is a favorite for fish tacos. They grow fast and spawn year-round, so the population stays healthy. Peak season here is late spring through summer. To catch Mahi, we'll troll the weed lines with ballyhoo or artificial lures. Once we find a school, we can often keep them near the boat by leaving one hooked fish in the water. They're curious and will stick around to check on their buddy. Quick tip: when you spot a big bull Mahi, don't cast right at it. Drop your bait about 10 feet away and the fish will usually come investigate.

Wahoo Fish

Wahoo are open-ocean speedsters, hitting up to 60 mph. They average 3-5 feet but can reach over 8 feet and 180 pounds. You'll find them in warm waters worldwide, often near drop-offs or floating debris. In our area, they're most common from July through November. Anglers love Wahoo for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. They're also excellent eating - the meat is firm, white, and mild. To target them, we troll fast at 12-15 knots using wire leaders (those teeth are razor-sharp) and lures like bulletheads or skirted ballyhoo. Here's a local secret: on calm days, look for frigate birds circling high. They often mark Wahoo feeding on flying fish. Slow down, deploy live baits, and hang on - when a Wahoo hits, it's like hooking a torpedo!
