Our Private Half-Day Fishing Charter out of Trinidad and Tobago is the real deal - we're talking world-class fishing action that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, we've got the know-how and the hot spots to put you on fish. So grab your lucky hat and let's hit the blue water for some serious rod-bending action!

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising out of port as the sun peeks over the horizon, the salt spray on your face and the anticipation building. Our expert captains know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're laser-focused on getting you to where the big ones are biting. We'll be targeting a smorgasbord of hard-fighting gamefish - from the lightning-fast Wahoo to the acrobatic Mahi Mahi. And let me tell you, when a Blue Marlin decides to crash the party, hold onto your hats because it's going to be one wild ride! With a max of 4 guests, you'll have plenty of elbow room to work those fish. We provide all the top-notch gear, so all you need to bring is your A-game and maybe a camera to capture your trophy catch.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

On this trip, we'll be pulling out all the stops to get those reels singing. We typically start with some trolling, dragging a spread of lures and bait that's irresistible to pelagic predators. Keep your eyes peeled for bird activity or that telltale surface commotion - it could mean a school of Jacks busting bait. If we spot some structure or a temp break, we might switch it up and do some live baiting. And for you purists out there, there's nothing quite like the thrill of watching a big Mahi inhale a pitch bait right off the transom. Our crew is always happy to show you the ropes, so don't be shy about asking for tips on everything from knot tying to proper fish-fighting technique.

Top Catches This Season

Trinidad's waters have been on fire lately, with anglers hauling in some real beauties. The Kingfish bite has been particularly hot, with several fish pushing the 50-pound mark coming to the scales. We've also been seeing a steady stream of Wahoo in the 30 to 40-pound class, perfect for some high-speed trolling action. And let's not forget about the Blue Marlin - we've had a few epic battles with some true monsters, including a couple that topped 500 pounds. Trust me, once you've felt the raw power of a billfish on the end of your line, you'll be hooked for life.

Species You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel, or Kingfish as we call 'em, are the speedsters of the sea. These toothy critters can hit 70 mph when they're hot on the trail of a bait, and they fight like crazy. They typically run 15 to 40 pounds around here, but we occasionally see some bruisers pushing 60+ pounds. Kingfish are a blast on light tackle and make for some mighty fine eating too.

Blue Marlin - now we're talking about the pinnacle of offshore fishing. These majestic creatures are the stuff of angling legend, known for their incredible size and acrobatic fights. In our waters, you can expect fish anywhere from 200 to 600 pounds, with the occasional giant pushing 1000+. Marlin fishing is a game of patience and persistence, but when that rod goes off and you see that massive bill slashing through the water, it's a moment you'll never forget.

Mahi Mahi, also known as Dorado or Dolphinfish, are like the supermodels of the ocean. With their vibrant colors and high-flying antics, they're a favorite among anglers and photographers alike. We typically see fish in the 15 to 30-pound range, but 40+ pounders aren't uncommon. Mahi love to hang around floating debris, so we always keep an eye out for that telltale flotsam.

Wahoo are the speed demons of the deep, capable of short bursts up to 60 mph. These streamlined torpedoes are known for their blistering first run and their delicious white meat. Our average Wahoo runs 30 to 50 pounds, but we've tangled with some monsters pushing 100 pounds. They're a year-round target here, but the bite really heats up in the cooler months.

Crevalle Jack, or as we call 'em, "reef donkeys," are pound-for-pound one of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean. These bruisers typically run 10 to 30 pounds and will test both your tackle and your stamina. They often hunt in schools, so when you find them, it can be non-stop action. Jacks aren't known for their table fare, but they more than make up for it with their fighting spirit.

Blue Marlin

Blue Marlin are the heavyweights of our offshore waters. Females can hit 1,800 pounds, while males top out around 350. You'll find them in the deep blue, often following warm currents and bait schools. These fish are the ultimate prize for big game anglers. They're incredibly strong, fast, and known for spectacular aerial displays when hooked. Trolling with large lures or rigged baits is the go-to method. Look for water temperature breaks, floating debris, or bird activity to find them. The best time to target Blues is during their migration periods, typically late spring through fall. Fighting a Blue Marlin is an experience you'll never forget - it can take hours to land a big one. Remember, these fish are catch-and-release only. If you do hook up, be ready for the long haul and have plenty of water on hand. It's a true test of stamina for both fish and angler.

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.

King Mackerel

King Mackerel are speedsters, averaging 20-30 pounds but can top 90. You'll find them in our coastal waters, usually 40-150 feet deep. They love hanging around reefs, inlets, and offshore structure. Kings are migratory, so timing is everything. They show up in big numbers when water temps hit the sweet spot between 68-84°F. These fish are lightning fast and will smoke your reel. Trolling with live bait like blue runners or menhaden is deadly. If you're using lures, go for flashy spoons or rattling plugs. Kings have razor-sharp teeth, so wire leaders are a must. Keep an eye out for birds working bait schools - that's often where you'll find the kings. They're excellent eating too, just be mindful of mercury levels in bigger fish. Pro tip: when a king hits, let it run for a few seconds before setting the hook. That'll help you avoid losing them on the strike.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi, or Dorado, are some of the most colorful fish you'll see. They usually run 15-30 pounds but can reach over 80. You'll find them offshore, often around floating debris or weed lines. Mahi are fast growers and great fighters, known for their acrobatic leaps when hooked. They travel in schools, so when you find one, there's usually more nearby. Trolling with ballyhoo or small lures works well, but sight-casting to fish under floating objects is a blast. Look for their electric blue and gold colors flashing in the water. Mahi are also excellent eating - their meat is firm, white, and delicious. They're most abundant here from May to November when the water warms up. Pro tip: when you hook one, keep it in the water. The rest of the school will often stick around, giving you a shot at multiple fish.

Wahoo Fish

Wahoo are like the cheetahs of the sea. They're sleek, fast, and can hit speeds up to 60 mph. Most weigh 15-30 pounds, but they can top 100. You'll find them in open water, often near dropoffs or current edges. Wahoo are loners, so you're usually targeting individuals rather than schools. These fish are known for blistering runs that can smoke a reel if you're not careful. High-speed trolling with lures is the most popular method. Use wire leaders - their teeth will slice through mono like butter. The best time to target them here is July through November when the water's warmest. Wahoo put up an incredible fight and they're excellent eating too. Their white, flaky meat is a real treat. Here's a local trick: if you're trolling and get a strike but miss the hookup, immediately drop back a bait. Wahoo will often circle back for a second pass.
