Offshore Fishing
Sixhour offshore fishing adventure targeting multiple species dailyAccommodates up to four guests with flexible departure schedulingIncludes shark fishing and various fishing location options
Picture this: you're heading out at first light on the emerald waters off Walton Beach, rod in hand and cooler packed with ice. This 6-hour offshore fishing adventure with Knotical Adventures Two puts you right in the heart of some of the Gulf's best fishing grounds. Starting at 6:00 AM gives you that sweet spot when the fish are actively feeding, but we're flexible on timing if your crew needs to adjust. For $1,400, you and up to three buddies get access to productive waters where snapper, grouper, and pelagics roam. Whether you're after keeper-sized fish for dinner or just want to feel that rod bend with a big king mackerel, this trip delivers the goods.
Your captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, and that shows in the spots we hit. We'll work everything from shallow reefs to deep drop-offs, adjusting our game plan based on what's biting and what's in season. Some days we're bottom fishing for grouper around structure, other times we're trolling the blue water for wahoo and mahi. The beauty of a 6-hour window is we've got time to switch it up if one technique isn't producing. Don't worry about bringing tackle – we've got you covered with quality rods, reels, and all the terminal gear you'll need. Just bring your fishing license, sunscreen, and drinks. The boat's equipped with everything else, including a fighting chair for when you hook into something that wants to give you a real battle.
We run multiple techniques depending on conditions and target species. Bottom fishing with circle hooks and heavy sinkers gets us into the grouper and snapper around structure. When we're chasing pelagics, we'll pull spreader bars and ballyhoo behind the boat, covering water until we find active fish. Live bait fishing with pinfish or cigar minnows can be deadly when the bite gets tough. The GPS is loaded with productive spots – artificial reefs, natural ledges, and wrecks that hold fish year-round. Water depth ranges from 60 feet out to 200-plus feet, giving us options no matter what Mother Nature throws at us. We've got downriggers for deep trolling and outriggers to spread the baits wide. The electronics package includes fish finders and GPS plotters, so we're not just fishing blind out there.
Spanish Mackerel are the perfect gateway drug for offshore fishing. These silver bullets show up in schools and hit anything shiny you throw at them. They average 2-4 pounds but fight way above their weight class, making multiple runs and jumping like mini tarpon. Spring through fall is prime time, and they're fantastic eating if you bleed them right away. Kids love catching them because the action stays hot once you find a school.
Red Grouper are the bread and butter of our bottom fishing game. These chunky fish live around hard bottom and structure in 80-120 feet of water. They're ambush predators that inhale a bait and try to get back to their hole, so you need to muscle them up quick. Most run 5-15 pounds, but we see plenty of bigger fish that'll test your drag system. The meat is white, flaky, and perfect for the grill or fryer.
King Mackerel are what dreams are made of out here. These torpedo-shaped predators cruise the edges and drop-offs, looking for schools of baitfish. They average 15-25 pounds but can push 40-plus pounds when conditions are right. The initial run will peel line off your reel, and they've got a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth that'll cut you if you're not careful. Summer and fall produce the best action, especially when the water temperature hits that sweet spot.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish bring the color and acrobatics to offshore fishing. These golden-green fish travel in schools and love floating debris or weed lines. They jump, tail-walk, and change colors when hooked – pure eye candy for anglers. Most fish run 10-20 pounds, but bull dolphin can hit 30-40 pounds. They're also table fare champions with firm, white meat that works in everything from fish tacos to blackened filets.
Crevalle Jack might not win beauty contests, but they'll give you a workout you won't forget. These brutes are pure muscle and attitude, making long, powerful runs that test your equipment. They school up around structure and baitfish, hitting lures and baits with authority. Most run 10-25 pounds, but the big ones can push 40 pounds. They're catch-and-release fish for most anglers, but the fight alone is worth the price of admission.
This offshore fishing adventure gives you the full Gulf experience without breaking the bank. At $350 per person for a group of four, you're getting access to world-class fishing grounds with an experienced captain who knows how to put fish in the boat. The 6-hour timeframe lets us explore different areas and techniques, maximizing your chances of getting into good fish. Whether you're looking to stock the freezer with dinner or just want to feel that rod double over, Walton Beach's offshore waters deliver the goods. Book your trip with Knotical Adventures Two and see why anglers keep coming back to these productive Gulf waters. The fish are out there – we just need to go find them.
Step aboard our 36-foot Torres Pilothouse and get ready for some serious offshore action in Walton Beach waters!

When you're targeting those deeper waters for Grouper, Snapper, or the occasional Wahoo, our fish finder and GPS will put you right on the money. The radar system ensures safe navigation even when morning fog rolls in. After hours of battling King Mackerel or wrestling with sharks, you'll appreciate having a real bed and full bathroom facilities onboard. Whether you're working the reefs for Triggerfish or trolling for Spanish Mackerel, this boat handles offshore conditions like a champ while keeping everyone comfortable. Perfect setup for a full day of fishing without heading back to port every few hours.
Caranx HipposCrevalle jacks are pure muscle wrapped in attitude - the bulldogs of inshore waters. They typically run 3-8 pounds but fight like fish twice their size. You'll find schools roaming grass flats, around structure, and busting bait on the surface year-round. What guests love is their raw power and never-give-up attitude. They'll bend rods double and make screaming runs that test your tackle. While they're not great table fare, they're fantastic sport fish for catch and release. Look for birds working - jacks push baitfish up where pelicans and gulls can attack. Once you locate a school, cast past them and retrieve fast with spoons or jigs. They love the chase and aggressive presentation.
Scomberomorus CavallaKings are the prize of offshore fishing here - fast, mean, and built for battle. Most run 15-40 pounds, but 50+ pounders show up regularly. They cruise 40-150 feet deep along temperature breaks, structure, and bait schools. Best fishing runs spring through fall when they're thick. What guests love is that initial screaming run when a king hits - pure adrenaline as line melts off your reel. The meat's rich and flaky, great smoked or grilled. They're voracious predators that'll crush live bait, spoons, or diving plugs. My go-to setup: slow-troll live sardines or cigar minnows on a wire leader with a stinger hook. Keep that bait moving and be ready - when they hit, they mean business.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are the most beautiful fish in the Gulf - brilliant golds and blues that light up when they're fighting. They average 15-30 pounds and love floating debris, weed lines, and current edges in blue water. Best action comes spring through early fall when they're most abundant. What makes them special is their acrobatic fight - jumping, diving, and putting on a show like no other fish. Plus, they're unbeatable on the table with sweet, firm white meat. They travel in schools, so where there's one, there's usually more. Pro tip: when you hook up, keep one person fishing while fighting the first one - mahi will often follow a hooked fish right to the boat, and you can double or triple up quickly.
Epinephelus MorioRed grouper are the tough guys of the reef, averaging 5-15 pounds with some pushing 30+. They hang around rocky bottom, ledges, and wrecks in 30-200 feet, though we catch most in the 60-120 range. These fish fight dirty - they'll try to cut you off on structure and dig deep when hooked. Season runs year-round except spawning closure January through April. What makes them special is that sweet, firm meat with a shellfish-like flavor that's hard to beat. They're aggressive feeders that'll hit cut bait, shrimp, or squid readily. Here's the key: once you hook one, keep steady pressure and get them up fast - give them time to think and they'll wrap you around the nearest rock pile.
Scomberomorus MaculatusThese silver speedsters run 1-2 feet long and pack a serious punch for their size. You'll find them schooling near the surface around structures, wrecks, and drop-offs in 20-80 feet of water. Spring through fall brings the best action when water temps warm up. Spanish mackerel hit fast and fight hard with blazing runs that'll test your drag. They're fantastic table fare too - mild, flaky meat that's perfect grilled or blackened. Look for diving birds working bait schools, that's usually where you'll find them feeding. Pro tip: when trolling, use small spoons or jigs and keep your speed up around 6-8 knots - these fish love a fast-moving target.
