Offshore Fishing
10hour offshore fishing adventure targeting marlin and tunaExpert crew navigates to prime Atlantic fishing groundsFullday charter accommodates up to 6 guests maximum
When you're looking for serious offshore action in Georgia waters, Captain Maggie knows exactly where the fish are holding. This 10-hour deep-sea adventure takes you far beyond the nearshore spots where weekend warriors drop their lines. We're talking about heading to the productive blue water where the big boys swim - those trophy fish that make your drag scream and your arms burn. With room for up to 6 anglers, this isn't just another fishing trip. It's your chance to get into some of the Atlantic's most sought-after gamefish while learning from one of Brunswick's most respected captains.
Your day starts early because the best fishing happens when most folks are still hitting the snooze button. Captain Maggie runs a tight ship, but don't expect some stuffy corporate charter experience. This is real fishing with a captain who's been working these waters for years and knows every productive ledge, artificial reef, and current break from here to the Gulf Stream edge. The boat heads out before sunrise, and by the time the sun's painting the horizon, you'll already be rigging up over prime bottom. Expect to cover some serious ground throughout the day - if the fish aren't cooperating in one spot, we're not sitting there hoping for a miracle. This crew believes in staying mobile and putting you on active fish, whether that means working structure for grouper or trolling the blue water for pelagics.
Offshore fishing in Brunswick waters calls for versatility, and Captain Maggie's got the tackle and know-how to match the conditions. When we're working the deeper structure for grouper and cobia, you'll be dropping heavy bottom rigs with circle hooks and natural baits that these fish can't resist. The technique is straightforward but effective - let your bait hit bottom, reel up a few cranks, and stay ready because grouper bites can be subtle before they try to dive back into their holes. For the pelagic action, we'll have multiple trolling lines out with a spread of lures designed to trigger strikes from mahi, tuna, and whatever else is cruising the current edges. Don't worry if you've never handled offshore tackle before - this crew takes pride in teaching proper technique and making sure everyone gets hands-on time with the rods.
"We had two adults and four teens on our trip, and Maggie was fantastic with the kids. She made them feel at ease with fishing and provided great teaching moments along the way. We all had a blast! We caught a massive stingray and several other fish. Although we missed a few of the bigger game fish we hooked, we still had a great time and can't wait for our next adventure. Thanks so much!" - Aaron
"Our trip with Captain Maggie was totally enjoyable. Captain Maggie worked hard to keep us on the fish. She went above our expectations to help us maximize our catch of red fish." - David
"Can't say enough good things about Captain Maggie! She and Bill were so helpful the entire trip! They were constantly helping a group of five of us with baiting, casting and taking fish off the hook. Constantly attentive and they never short anyone on anything. They made sure that everyone got their chance to catch a big bull red. Also, we all got to take a lot of fish home with us! They know all the good spots and dont stay in one spot long if we arent getting bites. This is our second trip and we will be returning for a third! They deserve all the good things in life because they really do work so hard!" - Cassie
Mahi Mahi are the crown jewel of our offshore fishery here, and these beautiful fish put on a show like nothing else in the Atlantic. These golden beauties typically run anywhere from 10 to 30 pounds, with the occasional bull dolphin pushing 40-plus pounds that'll test your tackle and your endurance. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall when the Gulf Stream pushes closer to shore, bringing schools of mahi with it. What makes these fish so special isn't just their stunning colors - it's the aerial acrobatics they pull when hooked. Expect multiple jumps, long runs, and a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. They're also fantastic table fare, which means you'll be taking home some of the finest eating fish in the ocean.
Crevalle Jack might not win any beauty contests, but these silver bulldogs will give you a workout you won't forget. Running anywhere from 15 to 40 pounds in our waters, these fish are pure muscle and attitude. They show up year-round but are most active during the warmer months when baitfish are thick on the reefs and structure. What jacks lack in looks, they make up for in raw power - these fish will put a serious bend in your rod and test your drag system like few others. They're ambush predators that hit baits with authority, and once hooked, they'll use every ounce of their strength to try and wrap you around the nearest piece of structure.
Cobia are one of the most prized catches in Georgia waters, and for good reason. These brown sharks (as some locals call them) can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 50 pounds not uncommon in our area. Spring and early summer are prime time when these fish move inshore to spawn, making them accessible to offshore charters. Cobia are curious fish that will often approach the boat, giving you a shot at sight fishing - one of the most exciting ways to target them. They're also phenomenal on the table, with firm white meat that's perfect for grilling or blackening. When you hook into a big cobia, expect a strong initial run followed by a bulldogging fight that'll have you working for every inch of line.
Bigeye Tuna represent the ultimate offshore challenge, and Brunswick's position near the Gulf Stream puts
This 25-foot Parker center console is your ticket to serious offshore action in Brunswick's deep waters. Powered by a reliable 250HP Yamaha that'll push you out to the fishing grounds at a smooth 43 knots, this boat handles the Atlantic swells like a champ. The spacious center console design gives all six anglers plenty of room to fight fish without getting tangled up in each other's lines. Whether you're targeting marlin, tuna, or whatever's running that day, this Parker's got the stability and speed to get you where the fish are biting. The open layout means easy movement around the boat when that big one hits, and there's ample space for tackle, coolers, and storing your catch. Perfect for a full day of serious offshore fishing.
Thunnus ObesusBigeye tuna are the heavy hitters of the tuna family, with those distinctive large eyes and streamlined bodies built for speed. These fish commonly reach 100-200 pounds and can top 400 pounds. They prefer deeper, cooler water and can dive to incredible depths where oxygen levels are low. Best fishing happens at dawn and dusk when they move closer to the surface to feed. Summer months bring peak action as water temps warm up. Guests target bigeye because they're pound-for-pound some of the strongest fish in the ocean, plus they're incredibly valuable for sashimi-grade meat. The fight is pure power - long, sustained runs that'll test your tackle. Pro tip: use darker colored lures in the 8-10 inch range during low light conditions when their sensitive eyes give them the advantage.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are impressive fish that often get mistaken for sharks when cruising near the surface. These brown bulldozers average around 30-40 pounds but can push 80+ pounds. We typically find them around reefs, wrecks, and structure in 30-70 feet during spring migration and spawning season. Summer and early fall are prime time when they're holding on offshore structure. What makes cobia great is they're sight fishing targets - you actually see the fish before you cast. Plus, they're fantastic eating with firm, white meat. The fight is strong and steady, not flashy but determined. Local trick: look for rays and sharks on the surface. Cobia often follow them around looking for stirred-up crabs and small fish.
Caranx HipposCrevalle jacks are the bulldogs of the ocean - pure muscle wrapped in brassy gold and green. These guys average 3-5 pounds but can push 20+ pounds when you find the big ones. They love shallow flats, grass beds, and anywhere baitfish gather, usually in 30 feet or less. You'll find them year-round here, but summer brings the best action when they're actively feeding. Guests love jacks because they fight way above their weight class - once hooked, they'll make screaming runs and test your drag. While they're not great table fare, the fight alone makes them worth targeting. Here's the key: watch for diving birds. When pelicans and gulls are working, jacks are usually pushing bait to the surface underneath.
Mycteroperca MicrolepisGag grouper are the heavyweight champions of the reef, with that classic grouper build and mottled gray coloration. These fish average 5-15 pounds but the big males can hit 50+ pounds. You'll find them around rocky bottom, reefs, and wrecks, typically in 40-120 feet of water. Fall and winter are prime time when they're most active and feeding heavily. What makes gags special is the combination of great fights and even better table fare - firm, white, flaky meat that's hard to beat. They're ambush predators that'll slam your bait hard, then immediately try to get back to their hole in the rocks. The key to landing them is keeping steady pressure right from the hookset - don't give them an inch or they'll wrap you up in the structure and break you off.
Coryphaena HippurusThese golden beauties are some of the most colorful fish you'll hook offshore. Mahi typically run 15-29 pounds and put on a real show - their colors shift from brilliant blues and greens to gold as you fight them. We find them around floating debris, weed lines, and anywhere there's structure in open water. Spring through fall gives us the best action when water temps are up. What makes mahi special is the combination - they fight hard, look amazing, and taste even better on the dinner table. Pro tip: when you hook one, keep your other lines in the water. They usually travel in small schools, so where there's one mahi, there's often more waiting nearby.
