Half Day Wahoo & Tuna Fishing

Inshore Fishing
Target wahoo and yellowfin tuna on 4-hour offshore adventureSwim with stingrays after deep sea fishing sessionAccommodates up to 6 guests with expert guide included
Looking for a fishing trip that delivers both serious angling action and a unique twist? Easy Does It Charters has crafted something special with this 4-hour adventure that combines top-notch pelagic fishing with an amazing stingray encounter. You'll spend your morning targeting some of the ocean's fastest and most prized game fish, then cool off with a one-of-a-kind wildlife experience that'll have you talking for years.
This isn't your typical half-day charter – it's two experiences rolled into one world-class outing. We start by heading to the island's edge where the deep blue water holds wahoo, yellowfin tuna, and other pelagic species that anglers dream about. The boat accommodates up to 4 guests, so you're guaranteed personal attention from our experienced captain and crew. After we've had our fill of high-speed runs and bent rods, we transition to a calm, shallow area where you can actually swim with and feed stingrays. It's the perfect balance of adrenaline and relaxation, making this trip ideal for mixed groups or anyone wanting to experience the full spectrum of marine life in just four hours.
We primarily target these pelagic species using two proven methods: trolling and chunking. When trolling, we'll run a spread of lures at varying distances behind the boat, covering water efficiently while searching for active fish. Our captain knows exactly which lures work best in these waters – think high-speed wahoo lures, cedar plugs, and ballyhoo rigs that drive tuna crazy. When conditions are right, we switch to chunking, where we'll anchor up and create a chum slick using cut bait to draw fish right to us. This method is particularly effective for yellowfin tuna and can produce some serious rod-bending action. All tackle and bait are provided, from heavy spinning gear capable of handling big wahoo to the lighter setups perfect for smaller tunas. Our crew will handle the rigging and give you tips on fighting technique, so whether you're a seasoned angler or new to offshore fishing, you'll be in good hands.
Tarpon are the silver kings of these waters, and hooking one is like being connected to a lightning bolt. These prehistoric giants can exceed 100 pounds and are famous for their explosive jumps and long, powerful runs. Peak tarpon season runs from late spring through early fall, and they're most active during dawn and dusk periods. What makes tarpon so special isn't just their size – it's their aerial acrobatics that'll have your heart pounding and camera clicking. Blue marlin represent the ultimate trophy for any serious angler. These apex predators can stretch over 12 feet and weigh several hundred pounds, making them one of the most challenging fish in the ocean. While they're present year-round, summer months offer the best shot at a hookup. The thrill of seeing a blue marlin crash a lure or tailwalk across the surface is something every angler should experience at least once. Mahi mahi, or common dolphinfish, are the workhorses of offshore fishing and absolutely beautiful fish with their golden flanks and electric blue-green backs. They're fast-growing and aggressive feeders, often found in schools around floating debris or weed lines. Mahi are present most of the year but peak from spring through fall. They're fantastic table fare and put up a spirited fight with lots of head shaking and runs. Great barracuda are the wolves of the reef, and their explosive strikes will test your reflexes. These toothy predators can reach 6 feet in length and are ambush hunters that rely on incredible bursts of speed. They're present year-round but most active during warmer months. Barracuda are known for their vicious strikes and acrobatic fights, often jumping clear of the water multiple times. Yellowfin tuna are pure muscle and endurance, built for speed and long fights that'll test your stamina. These football-shaped fish can exceed 100 pounds in these waters and are prized both for their fighting ability and excellent meat quality. Peak season is typically late spring through early fall, and they're most active during low-light periods. Yellowfin are known for their initial blistering runs followed by a deep, dogged fight that can last 30 minutes or more.

The setup gives every angler a fair shot at landing their target species while staying comfortable throughout the 4-hour adventure.
Makaira NigricansBlue marlin are the heavyweight champions of billfish - females can push 1,000+ pounds while males stay under 350. These deep-water hunters cruise the open ocean in warm water, following baitfish along current edges and temperature breaks. Peak season varies by location, but warmer months typically produce better action. What makes them special is the pure power and those spectacular jumps when hooked. Their meat is decent eating, though many anglers practice catch-and-release on these magnificent fish. Here's the thing about marlin fishing: when trolling, keep your baits skipping on the surface - they love chasing flying fish, and that surface action triggers aggressive strikes from these apex predators.
Sphyraena BarracudaGreat barracuda are the speed demons of the reef - these torpedo-shaped predators can hit 35 mph in short bursts and grow up to 6 feet long. You'll find them around coral reefs, grass flats, and nearshore structure, often lurking alone unless they're hunting in packs. They're active year-round in tropical waters but spring brings the best action during spawning season. Anglers love their aggressive strikes and initial powerful runs, though they tire quickly. The meat isn't commonly eaten due to ciguatera concerns, so most folks release them. Here's what works: use wire leaders and shiny lures - these visual hunters can't resist anything that flashes like an injured baitfish.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi mahi are some of the most colorful fish you'll encounter - brilliant gold sides with electric blue and green backs that put on a light show when they come out of the water. Most run 15-30 pounds, though bigger ones are out there. They're surface dwellers that love floating debris, weedlines, and current edges in warm water. Peak fishing happens during warmer months when they're most active. What guests love is their acrobatic fight and sweet, firm white meat that's perfect for the dinner table. These fish grow fast and spawn year-round, making them a sustainable choice. Key tip: always look for birds working over floating sargassum or debris - that's where the mahi will be feeding.
Megalops AtlanticusThese silver giants are a bucket-list fish for good reason. Mature tarpon run 80-100 pounds on average, though they can hit 200+ and jump 10 feet out of the water when hooked. You'll find them in shallow flats, deeper channels, and around structure from spring through fall - the warmer months bring the best action. They're strictly catch-and-release due to their bony meat and slow growth, but that first jump makes it all worthwhile. These fish can live 50+ years, so treat them with respect. Pro tip: when one goes airborne, bow to the fish by dropping your rod tip - keeps that hook from pulling free during those wild acrobatics.
Thunnus AlbacaresYellowfin tuna are built for speed and power - these torpedo-shaped fish can hit 50 mph and commonly weigh 60+ pounds, with giants pushing 400. They cruise the upper water column in tropical and subtropical waters, following baitfish and temperature breaks. Summer and fall typically offer the best fishing when they're most active. What makes yellowfin special is their incredible strength and stamina, plus they're premium table fare - some of the best sashimi-grade fish in the ocean. They're warm-blooded, which gives them that extra fighting power. My go-to technique: when fish are deep and won't bite the trolling spread, switch to chunking with whatever baitfish they're feeding on - it brings them up hungry and ready to strike.
