Private Trip
Offshore Fishing
Twohour offshore fishing adventure in Atlantic watersTarget mahi mahi, wahoo, snappers, and grouper speciesSmall group experience with maximum four guests aboard
Captain Mirisola and his crew know these Atlantic waters like the back of their hand, and they're ready to put you on some serious fish. This two-hour charter isn't just a quick trip – it's a concentrated dose of offshore action that'll have your drag screaming and your arms burning. Whether you're bringing the kids for their first taste of deep water fishing or you're a seasoned angler looking for a quick fix between longer trips, this bite-sized adventure delivers the goods without eating up your whole day.
You'll head out into the deep blue Atlantic where the real action happens. Captain Mirisola runs a tight ship with space for up to four anglers, so you're not fighting for rail space or dealing with crowded conditions. The boat's equipped with quality rods, reels, and terminal tackle – everything you need to battle whatever decides to inhale your bait. We're talking serious offshore fishing here, not some pond-hopping adventure. The Atlantic Ocean off this coast holds some of the most diverse and aggressive game fish you'll find anywhere, and two hours gives you plenty of time to get into them. The crew knows exactly where to find the bite, whether that's working structure, hitting the weed lines, or finding the temperature breaks where predators stack up.
This isn't a sit-and-wait kind of fishing trip. The crew runs a spread of lures and baits designed to trigger strikes from fast-moving pelagics and bottom dwellers alike. You'll likely see a mix of trolling for the speedsters like mahi and wahoo, combined with some bottom fishing when the grouper and snapper bite is hot. The tackle is sized right for these fish – heavy enough to turn them away from structure but not so heavy that it kills the fight. Circle hooks keep the fish healthy for release, and the crew knows how to handle everything from a 3-pound lane snapper to a 40-pound wahoo. Don't worry if you've never worked this kind of gear before – the crew will have you rigged up and fishing like a pro in no time.
Red grouper are the bread and butter of Atlantic bottom fishing, and these bruisers know how to use every piece of structure to their advantage. They typically run anywhere from 5 to 20 pounds in these waters, with the occasional monster pushing 30 or more. What makes them so exciting to catch is their initial run straight for the bottom – you've got maybe 10 seconds to turn their head before they wrap you around a rock or coral head. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall when they're most active and feeding heavily.
Mahi mahi are pure adrenaline on the end of a line. These fish are built for speed and acrobatics, jumping clear out of the water multiple times during the fight. They travel in schools, so when you find one, there are usually more around. Most of the mahi here run between 10 and 25 pounds, though bulls can push 40 or 50. They're attracted to floating debris, weed lines, and color changes in the water. Summer months are prime time, but you can find them almost year-round in these waters.
Wahoo are the rockets of the ocean, capable of hitting 60 mph when they want to. They'll take your line and run with it faster than almost any other fish in the Atlantic. The fight is usually short but incredibly intense – these fish don't have a lot of stamina, but what they lack in endurance they make up for in pure speed. Most wahoo caught here range from 15 to 40 pounds. They're structure-oriented fish, often found around drop-offs and ledges where they ambush smaller fish.
Cobia are curious fish that often come right up to the boat to check things out. They're excellent table fare and put up a solid fight, using their broad tail and powerful body to make strong runs. These fish can get big – 30 to 50 pounds is common, and they can top 80 pounds. They're often found around structure or floating debris, and they have a habit of following rays and sharks. Spring and fall are prime cobia season when they're moving along the coast.
Lane snapper might be smaller than their cousins, but they make up for it with attitude and numbers. These feisty little fighters rarely get bigger than 3 or 4 pounds, but they'll hit baits aggressively and fight harder than fish twice their size. They school up around structure and are great for keeping kids and novice anglers busy when the bigger fish aren't cooperating. They're also some of the best eating fish in the ocean.
Two hours might not sound like much, but when the fish are biting and your reel is singing, time flies. This trip gives you a real taste of what Atlantic offshore fishing is all about without the commitment of a full day charter. Captain Mirisola's got the experience and local knowledge to put you on fish, and with only four spots available, you're guaranteed personal attention and plenty of fishing time. The Atlantic Ocean is right there waiting, full of hungry predators and bottom dwellers ready to test your skills. Book your spot now and get ready to see why anglers travel from all over to fish these waters.
Our 20-foot Dusky Open Fisherman is built for serious Atlantic fishing action. The deep vee hull and wide beam handle offshore swells like a champ, while the reliable 115hp Yamaha V4 outboard gets you to the fish fast and brings you back safe. This proven fishing machine comfortably fits four anglers with plenty of room to work the lines. Everything's included - rods, tackle, bait, licenses, and all safety gear. The onboard fish finder helps locate schools of mahi, wahoo, snappers, and groupers lurking beneath the surface. Stay connected with VHF radio, navigate precisely with GPS, and keep your catch fresh in the icebox. When the action heats up, you'll appreciate the stable platform this boat provides for battling Atlantic gamefish. The multimedia system keeps things entertaining between bites, while radar ensures safe passage in changing conditions.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are like the sharks that aren't sharks - that single dorsal fin and dark brown color fools people all the time. These bruisers average 20-40 pounds and can push 60+. You'll spot them cruising near the surface around buoys, wrecks, or structure in 30-80 feet. Spring migration from March through June is money time when they're moving through in good numbers. What makes cobia awesome is they're sight fishing at its best - you actually see the fish before you cast. They fight like freight trains and the meat is outstanding - firm and white, almost like shark but better. They're curious fish too, often following the boat. Best trick: when you see one, cast a bucktail jig or live bait right in front of them. Don't plop it on their head - lead them a bit. They'll usually eat if you put it in the right spot.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are some of the most beautiful fish you'll see out here - electric blues and greens that put on a real light show when they come to the boat. They average 15-25 pounds but can push 40+. These surface dwellers love floating debris, weed lines, and current breaks in open water. We find them year-round, but summer months are prime time when they're most abundant. What guests love about mahi is the spectacular aerial show - they'll jump and tailwalk like crazy once hooked. The fight is fast and furious. On the table, they're hard to beat - mild, sweet, and flaky. Great for fish tacos or grilling. Here's the key: when you hook one, look for others nearby. Mahi often travel in small schools, so keep a couple extra lines ready. They're aggressive feeders and will hit ballyhoo, small lures, or live bait worked near the surface.
Epinephelus MorioRed grouper are the bread and butter of bottom fishing around here. These rusty-red fish with distinctive white spots typically run 5-10 pounds, though we've seen some real bruisers hit 30+. They hang around rocky bottoms, reefs, and wrecks in 30-120 feet of water. Spring through fall gives us the best action when they're most active. What makes them special? They're absolute bulldogs once hooked - they'll try to dive straight back to structure and break you off. Plus, the meat is outstanding - firm, flaky, and sweet with that slight shellfish taste from their crab and shrimp diet. Pro tip: use a heavy leader and crank them up fast once you hook one. If you let them get their head down and run for cover, they'll wrap you around the reef every time. Fresh shrimp or cut bait works great.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the speed demons of the Atlantic - these torpedo-shaped fish can hit 60 mph and will absolutely scream line off your reel. They typically run 20-40 pounds with distinctive blue stripes along silver sides. You'll find them in open water, usually around floating debris or drop-offs. Fall through spring are peak months when they're migrating through our area. What makes wahoo special is that blistering first run - nothing prepares you for how fast they take off. The meat is premium table fare too - white, flaky, and mild. Perfect for searing or making fish tacos. Here's the secret: you need wire leaders because their razor-sharp teeth will cut through mono in a heartbeat. High-speed trolling with diving plugs or rigged ballyhoo works best. Keep your drag smooth and be ready for that initial run - it's something you'll never forget.
Lutjanus SynagrisLane snappers are those pretty pink fish with yellow stripes that always seem to show up when you're targeting bigger stuff. They run 10-14 inches on average and make great action for kids or when the bite gets slow. You'll find them around coral reefs, rocky areas, and vegetated sandy bottoms in 30-100 feet. March through September is breeding season when they're most active and aggressive. What's nice about lanes is they're not shy - they'll eat just about anything you drop down there. The meat is excellent too, sweet and flaky like their bigger snapper cousins. They're scrappy little fighters that'll keep your rod bent. Night fishing produces the best action since that's when they feed heaviest. Simple tip: use small hooks with fresh shrimp or cut squid. They've got small mouths, so downsize your tackle and you'll hook more of them.
