Private Trip
Offshore Fishing
Fullday offshore fishing adventure spanning eight hours on waterMultiple fishing techniques available including trolling and bottom fishingCaptain provides expert guidance based on weather and seasonal conditions
Ready to spend a full day chasing pelagics in blue water? This 8-hour offshore charter with Angle Drop Charters puts you right where the action is. We're talking serious fishing here - the kind where you'll be fighting fish that can strip line faster than you think possible. Captain's got the flexibility to leave at 7 a.m. or adjust based on conditions, and with up to 6 anglers on board, there's plenty of room for your crew without feeling cramped. This isn't some cookie-cutter trip - you get to call the shots on what species we're targeting, and the captain will work with you to make it happen based on what's biting and where the fish are holding.
Eight hours gives us real time to work. We're not rushing back to the dock just when the bite gets good. The captain knows these waters and will put you on fish, but the day's yours to shape. Want to troll for speed demons like wahoo and mahi? We can do that. Prefer to set up on structure and work the bottom for bigger fish? That's on the table too. The boat's equipped for whatever technique you want to run, and the captain will suggest the best approach based on current conditions, season, and what's been producing. Weather plays a big part in offshore fishing, so we stay flexible and read the water as we go. Some days the fish want fast-moving baits, other days they're looking for something more subtle. That's the beauty of having a full day - we can adapt and try different approaches until we find what works.
We run multiple techniques depending on what you're after. Offshore trolling is the bread and butter - spreading lines at different depths and speeds to cover water and find active fish. The boat's rigged with quality rods and reels that can handle anything from screaming mahi runs to sustained wahoo fights. If you want to try live bait fishing, that's available for an extra fee and can be absolutely deadly on certain species when they're finicky about artificials. Drift fishing lets us work structure and drop-offs where fish congregate, especially effective when the current's right. Bottom fishing puts you on different species entirely - think bigger, stronger fish that know how to use structure to their advantage. The captain carries a selection of lures, weights, and terminal tackle, but if you've got favorites that have been producing, bring them along. GPS and fish finder technology help locate productive areas, but reading the water and understanding fish behavior is what consistently puts fish in the boat.
Blackfin tuna are schooling fish that fight way harder than their size suggests. These guys typically run 10-20 pounds but pull like freight trains when hooked. They're most active during cooler months and often show up in good numbers when conditions align. What makes them special is their willingness to bite and the way they school up - when you find one, there are usually more around. They're also excellent table fare, making them a favorite among anglers who like to take fish home.
Atlantic sailfish are the showstoppers of offshore fishing. These acrobatic fighters can reach 6-8 feet and put on aerial displays that'll have everyone on the boat scrambling for cameras. Peak season typically runs from December through April, when they migrate through in good numbers. Sailfish are primarily catch and release, but the fight and the photos make them bucket-list fish for serious anglers. They're smart and can be selective about baits, making each hookup feel earned.
King mackerel, or "smoker kings" as locals call the big ones, are speed merchants that make blistering runs when hooked. Fish in the 20-40 pound range are common, with occasional giants pushing 50+ pounds. They're year-round residents but fishing peaks during warmer months when baitfish are abundant. Kings are excellent eating and known for their initial runs that can take 100+ yards of line before you even realize what hit.
Mahi mahi bring the color and chaos that offshore fishing is famous for. These brilliant gold and green fish are aggressive feeders that often travel in schools. They grow fast and fight hard, with fish ranging from small "bailers" to bull dolphins over 40 pounds. Mahi are most common in warmer months and have a habit of showing up around floating debris or weed lines. They're also outstanding on the table, making them a top target for anglers who want both action and dinner.
Wahoo are the speed demons of the offshore world, capable of hitting trolled baits at 40+ mph and making runs that'll test your drag system. These toothy predators typically range 20-60 pounds and are known for their initial blazing runs followed by strong, steady fights. They're somewhat seasonal and can be selective about baits, but when conditions are right, they provide some of the most exciting fishing available. Wahoo are also prized for their firm, white meat that's considered among the best eating fish in the ocean.
This is world-class offshore fishing with the flexibility to target what you want to catch. Eight hours gives you real time to work different techniques and areas, and with a 6-person capacity, you can bring your crew without feeling crowded. The captain knows these waters and will put you on fish, but the day's success depends on your willingness to adapt and work for it. Offshore fishing isn't guaranteed - that's what makes it fishing instead of catching - but the potential for multiple species and quality fish makes every trip worth it. Whether you're looking to check species off your list or just want to spend a day on the water with your people, this charter delivers the authentic offshore experience. Book now and get ready for the kind of fishing day you'll be talking about for years.

Captain knows these waters inside and out and will adapt your 8-hour adventure based on what's biting, weather conditions, and your preferences. Whether you're trolling for pelagics, drifting with live bait, or dropping bottom rigs, we've got the gear and local knowledge to put you on fish. The onboard bed means someone can catch a quick nap between bites during those long offshore runs. Departure is typically 7 AM but we're flexible to work with your schedule.
Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of offshore fishing - sleek, fast, and absolutely spectacular when they light up and jump. These fish average 6-8 feet and 40-60 pounds, with that massive dorsal sail that gives them their name. You'll find them in 30-200 feet of water, often following baitfish along current edges and temperature breaks. Winter months bring the best action when they migrate through warmer waters. What gets anglers hooked is watching them change colors during the fight - electric blues and silvers - plus those acrobatic leaps. The speed is legendary, hitting 35+ mph. Here's the key: when one shows up teasing, keep the bait moving but don't pull it away too fast. Let them get a good look before they commit.
Thunnus AtlanticusBlackfin Tuna are the smallest in the tuna family, typically running 15-30 pounds, but they pack a serious punch for their size. These beauties show off striking yellow-gold bands that fade once landed. You'll find them in warm offshore waters, usually 40-150 feet deep around structure and current breaks. They're fierce fighters that'll test your tackle with blistering runs. Peak season runs fall through spring when water temps stay above 68°F. What makes them special is the combination of their aggressive strike, strong fight, and excellent table fare - their meat is primo for sashimi. Pro tip: scale down your tackle with fluorocarbon leaders and smaller hooks since these fish have sharp eyes and spook easily from heavy gear.
Scomberomorus CavallaKing Mackerel are speed demons that'll test your reflexes and tackle in equal measure. These fish commonly run 20-40 pounds but can push past 70, with razor-sharp teeth that'll slice through anything but wire. They patrol waters from 40-150 feet, often around structure, baitfish schools, and current lines. Fall through spring offers the best action when they move into shallower waters chasing bait. Anglers love them for their searing runs and excellent eating - firm, flaky white meat that's perfect on the grill. The key to success is trolling fast with wire leaders and stinger rigs. When using live bait, always rig with two hooks since kings typically hit the tail section first, then come back for the head.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi Mahi are pure eye candy both in the water and on the plate. These colorful fish average 15-30 pounds but can reach 50+, showing off brilliant golds, greens, and blues that flash like a neon sign during the fight. Look for them around floating debris, weed lines, and current edges in open water. They're surface dwellers that love structure, even if it's just a piece of driftwood. Spring through fall provides consistent action in warmer offshore waters. What makes them favorites is their aggressive bite, strong runs, and premium table fare - sweet, firm white meat that's restaurant quality. The trick is once you hook one, keep trolling around the same area. Mahi travel in schools, so where there's one, there's usually more nearby.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the speed kings of the ocean, capable of hitting 60 mph and stripping line faster than you can blink. These torpedo-shaped fish typically run 30-80 pounds with razor-sharp teeth and a distinctive blue-striped pattern. They roam open water from the surface down to 200 feet, often around floating objects and drop-offs. Peak season varies by region, but fall through spring generally produces the most consistent action. Anglers prize them for their blistering runs and premium table fare - the meat is mild, flaky, and absolutely delicious. High-speed trolling at 12-15 knots with wire leaders is the standard approach. Pro tip: when you get a wahoo bite, clear the other lines fast because these fish will tangle everything in seconds with their speed.
