Offshore Fishing
Fullday offshore trip targets Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and WahooAdvanced sonar and GPS technology locates prime fishing spotsProfessional tackle and bait provided for up to six guests
When you're ready to leave the amateur hour behind and chase serious fish in deep water, this 12-hour offshore trip aboard BAM Adventures' 52-footer is exactly what you've been looking for. We're talking about a full day of blue water fishing where the real trophy species live – miles from shore where the water turns that perfect cobalt blue and anything can happen on the next drop. With space for up to six anglers, you'll have plenty of room to work without bumping elbows, and our captain knows these waters like the back of his hand.
This isn't your typical half-day charter where you're rushing back to the dock just when the bite picks up. Twelve hours gives us the luxury of time – time to run to the best spots, time to work different depths and structure, and time to really dial in what the fish want that day. The 52-foot vessel handles the offshore swells like a dream, so you can focus on fishing instead of fighting seasickness. We'll be targeting the heavy hitters out here: Tuna that'll test your drag system, Mahi Mahi that put on aerial shows you won't forget, and Wahoo that'll scream line off your reel faster than you thought possible. The captain runs top-shelf electronics including advanced sonar and GPS, so we're not just hoping to stumble onto fish – we're hunting them with precision. Whether you've been chasing pelagics for decades or this is your first time in blue water, everyone gets the same treatment and attention to make sure you're hooked up.
We run a serious spread out here – multiple outriggers, flatlines, and shotgun rods to cover water and give us the best shot at connecting with whatever's cruising through. All the gear is provided, and I'm talking quality stuff that can handle the punishment these offshore species dish out. Heavy-duty conventional reels spooled with fresh line, rods that have the backbone for big fish, and a tackle selection that covers everything from ballyhoo spreads to high-speed lures. The captain adjusts trolling speeds based on conditions and target species – slower for Mahi around floating debris, faster when we're looking for Wahoo along temperature breaks. Live bait fishing is also in play when conditions are right, especially when we mark good bottom structure or find bird activity that screams feeding fish below. You don't need to bring anything except your fishing license and maybe some personal snacks if you have favorites, though remember no meals are included so pack accordingly for the long day ahead.
Tuna are the backbone of offshore fishing out here, and for good reason – these fish are pure muscle wrapped in determination. Depending on the season and water temperature, we might encounter Yellowfin that can push triple digits in weight, or smaller but equally scrappy Blackfin that fight way above their size class. Tuna typically feed most actively during low-light periods, so those early morning and late afternoon hours often produce the best action. When you hook one, be ready for a fight that tests both your stamina and your drag settings. They'll sound deep, make long runs, and generally do everything possible to part ways with your hook.
Mahi Mahi bring the color and acrobatics to offshore fishing – these brilliant gold and green fish love to jump, and a big bull Mahi putting on a show beside the boat never gets old. They're often found around floating debris, weed lines, or anywhere small baitfish are getting pushed to the surface. Mahi are also some of the best eating fish in the ocean, so they're a favorite target for anglers who want to fill the cooler along with getting great photos. Peak season typically runs warmer months when water temperatures climb, and schools of smaller fish often travel together while the big bulls tend to be loners.
Wahoo are the speed demons of the offshore world – these torpedo-shaped predators can hit 60 mph and will absolutely smoke a high-speed lure trolled along a temperature break or drop-off. They've got razor-sharp teeth and attitude to match, so wire leaders are mandatory. A big Wahoo might only fight for a few minutes, but those minutes are pure chaos with screaming drags and smoking reels. They're also excellent table fare with firm, white meat that's perfect on the grill. Wahoo fishing tends to be more weather dependent since they often relate to specific water conditions and current edges.
Twelve hours of offshore fishing with a skilled captain and quality equipment is exactly the kind of day that creates lifetime fishing memories. You'll cover serious water, target multiple species, and have the best chance at connecting with something special swimming in the deep blue. The 52-foot platform gives you comfort and stability, while the extended time frame means we're not watching the clock instead of watching the rods. Remember that deposits are non-refundable, so when you're ready to commit to a day of world-class offshore fishing, book your spot and start getting excited about what's swimming out there waiting for you.
Capt. Andy's Byte Me is a serious 52' Brownell sportfisher built for deep water fishing. This six-passenger boat comes loaded with everything you need for a successful day chasing tuna, mahi, and wahoo offshore. The fighting chair and outriggers handle the big ones, while the Simrad sonar and fish finder help locate schools in the blue water. Stay comfortable with air conditioning, a refrigerator for cold drinks, and mezzanine seating when you're not working a fish. The Seakeeper keeps things steady in rough seas, and the greenstick rig is perfect for pelagic species. All rods, reels, and tackle are provided, plus there's a clean toilet onboard. The flybridge gives great visibility for spotting birds and bait, while GPS and radar ensure safe navigation miles from shore.
