What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising out of port as the midday sun sparkles on the water. The anticipation builds as we head to our prime fishing spots. Our half-day trip gives you a solid 4-5 hours of fishing time, perfect for those who want to pack in the excitement without spending all day at sea. We've got room for up to 4 guests, so bring your buddies or make it a family adventure. Just a heads up - we don't provide meals on this trip, so pack some snacks to keep your energy up while you're reeling in the big ones.

Trolling Tactics & Top-Notch Gear

On this trip, we'll be doing some serious offshore trolling. For you newbies out there, that means we'll be dragging lines behind the boat as we cruise, mimicking the movement of baitfish to attract the predators. We use only the best rods, reels, and lures to give you the edge in the fight. Our crew will set everything up, but you'll be the one feeling that heart-pounding moment when a fish strikes. Don't worry if you're new to this - we'll show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk about the stars of the show - the fish you'll be targeting on this trip. First up, the King Mackerel, or "Kingfish" as we call 'em. These sleek, silver torpedoes can hit speeds of up to 60 mph, making for an exciting fight when they take your bait. They're most active in the warmer months and can weigh up to 100 pounds - now that's a fish story worth telling!

Next, we've got the Blue Marlin - the holy grail for many sport fishermen. These massive billfish are known for their acrobatic leaps and powerful runs. They're a bit elusive, but when you hook one, you're in for the fight of your life. Blue Marlin in these waters can reach over 1000 pounds, though most are in the 200-400 pound range. Getting one of these beauties to the boat is an experience you'll never forget.

Mahi Mahi, also known as Dorado or Dolphinfish, are another top target. With their vibrant colors and high-flying antics, they're a favorite among anglers. These fish are fast growers and can be found year-round in our waters. They typically range from 15 to 30 pounds, but larger specimens aren't uncommon. The best part? They're delicious if you decide to keep your catch.

Wahoo are the speed demons of the ocean. These streamlined fish can swim up to 60 mph and are known for their blistering runs when hooked. They're most abundant in the summer months but can be caught year-round. Wahoo in our area typically weigh between 15 and 40 pounds, but 100-pounders aren't unheard of. Their firm, white meat makes them another excellent eating fish.

Last but not least, we've got the Crevalle Jack. These bruisers might not be the prettiest fish in the sea, but what they lack in looks, they make up for in fighting spirit. Jacks are known for their powerful runs and never-say-die attitude. They're often found in schools, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. While they're not typically kept for eating, they provide some of the best pound-for-pound fights you'll experience.

Our trips aren't just about catching fish - they're about the whole experience. From the moment you step on board, you're part of the Padee Again family.

Learn more about the species

Blue Marlin

Blue Marlin are the heavyweight champions of our waters. These massive billfish can reach over 1,000 pounds, though most we see are in the 200-400 pound range. They're open ocean hunters, cruising the deep blue waters beyond the continental shelf. We find them by trolling the edges of underwater ledges and current breaks. Blue Marlin are known for their incredible aerial displays when hooked - they'll leap clear out of the water, shaking that spear-like bill. It's a sight you won't forget. Peak season is typically May to November when the water warms up. Anglers come from all over to battle these giants. It's a true test of skill and endurance. My best tip: when you see one in the spread, don't hesitate - drop back that bait and get ready for the fight of your life.

Crevalle Jack

Crevalle Jacks are the bulldogs of our inshore waters. These powerful fish usually run 5-15 pounds, but can get up to 50 or more. You'll find them in bays, around jetties, and offshore reefs. They're aggressive feeders, often busting bait on the surface. We catch them on topwater lures, jigs, and live bait. Jacks fight hard, making long runs and dogged pulls. Best fishing is spring through fall when water temps are up. Anglers love Jacks for their raw power and never-give-up attitude. While not great table fare, they're fun to catch and release. Here's a local trick: watch for birds diving on bait. Jacks often push baitfish to the surface, creating feeding frenzies. Cast into the melee and hang on tight!

King Mackerel

King Mackerel are a prized catch here in Trinidad and Tobago. These sleek predators usually run 15-30 pounds, but big ones can top 90 pounds. Look for them in depths of 40-150 feet, often near drop-offs or structure. They're fast swimmers with razor-sharp teeth, so be ready for a fight. Kings feed on smaller fish like mullet and sardines. We typically troll for them using wire leaders and live bait or lures that mimic their prey. The best action is during warmer months when baitfish are plentiful. Anglers love targeting Kings for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. The meat is good eating too, with a firm texture and rich flavor. One local trick: troll just a bit faster than you think you should - Kings love to chase down a quick-moving bait.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi are one of the most colorful and acrobatic fish you'll catch around here. They usually run 15-30 pounds, but can get up to 50 or more. Look for them near floating debris or weed lines, often in waters 100-400 feet deep. Mahi are fast growers and voracious feeders, chasing flying fish and other baitfish. We catch them trolling with ballyhoo or lures, or casting to fish we spot near the surface. They're known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. The best fishing is usually spring through fall when the water's warmer. Anglers love Mahi for their hard fights and delicious meat. The flesh is mild and flaky - perfect for grilling. Here's a local tip: if you hook one, keep it in the water. Others in the school will often stick around, giving you shots at multiple fish.

Wahoo Fish

Wahoo are the speedsters of our offshore waters. These streamlined predators can hit 60 mph in short bursts. Most we catch are 20-40 pounds, but they can top 100. Look for them near drop-offs and underwater structures in 100-300 foot depths. Wahoo are loners, so we typically troll for them at high speeds - 12-15 knots isn't uncommon. Use wire leaders, as their razor-sharp teeth will slice through mono. Best fishing is usually late summer through fall when the water's warmest. Anglers love Wahoo for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. The meat is excellent too - firm, white fillets with a mild flavor. Local tip: try trolling diving plugs like Rapala Magnums. The deeper action often triggers strikes from big Wahoo holding down deep.
