Offshore Fishing
12-hour deep water fishing trip targeting premium offshore speciesHunt for Tuna, Mahi, Marlin, and Tilefish in open watersSmall group experience with maximum 4 guests per charter
When you're ready to leave the crowds behind and chase some serious fish, this 12-hour offshore trip with MobSquad Fishing is where the action happens. We're talking about heading way out into the deep blue, where the water turns that gorgeous cobalt color and the big boys live. This isn't your typical half-day trip – we're committing to a full day of fishing the offshore grounds where trophy fish cruise. With just 4 anglers max, you'll have plenty of room to work and won't be fighting over rail space when the bite gets hot.
Picture this: we'll be up before dawn, loaded with ice and tackle, making the long run to the deep water where the real magic happens. Once we clear the continental shelf and hit that 100+ foot mark, everything changes. The boat's equipped with top-notch electronics to mark fish and structure, plus we've got all the heavy tackle you'll need to tangle with pelagics. Expect to cover some serious ground as we work different temperature breaks, current edges, and structure that holds baitfish. The captain knows these waters inside and out, reading conditions and adjusting our game plan throughout the day. Some trips we'll be trolling spread patterns, other times we'll be chunking or dropping baits deep – it all depends on what the fish are telling us.
We run a mixed bag approach out here, switching between high-speed trolling for tunas and mahi, slow-trolling live baits for marlin, and bottom fishing when we're after those deep-dwelling tilefish. The boat's rigged with 50-80 class conventional reels spooled with plenty of backing – because when you hook up with a big yellowfin or blue marlin, they're going to make some serious runs. We'll have spreader bars, cedar plugs, and ballyhoo rigs ready to go, plus a good selection of jigs for when we mark fish on the sounder. For the bottom fishing, we're talking heavy sinkers and circle hooks to get down to where the tilefish live. Don't worry about bringing gear – we've got everything covered, from the rods and reels to terminal tackle. Just bring yourself and be ready to learn some new techniques.
Blue marlin are the kings of the offshore scene, and these waters have been producing some real beauties. These fish are pure muscle and attitude – when one grabs your bait, you'll know it immediately. They'll jump, they'll run, and they'll test every knot on your rig. Most of our blues run between 200-400 pounds, with the occasional monster pushing 500+. Peak season runs through the warmer months when they follow the bait migrations, but we see them year-round. What makes them so special? It's that combination of size, power, and aerial acrobatics that gets your heart racing like nothing else in the ocean.
Mahi mahi are the crowd-pleasers – beautiful, aggressive, and they put up a fantastic fight on lighter tackle. These fish are opportunistic feeders that love structure, whether it's floating debris, weed lines, or temperature breaks. They're also schooling fish, so when you find one, there's usually more around. Mahi hit hard and fast, often jumping clear out of the water multiple times during the fight. The bulls can push 50+ pounds and show off those amazing colors – electric blues, greens, and yellows that light up when they're fired up. They're also excellent table fare, making them a favorite target for anglers who want both sport and dinner.
Bigeye and yellowfin tuna are the speed demons of the deep, and both species call these offshore waters home. Bigeyes tend to be deeper dwellers, often requiring nighttime tactics or fishing the twilight hours when they come up to feed. Yellowfins are more aggressive daytime feeders and will absolutely smoke a trolled bait or popper. Both species are built for speed and endurance – expect long, powerful runs that'll have your arms burning. The larger yellowfins, especially those 100+ pound fish, are considered some of the finest gamefish in the ocean. Their stamina is legendary, and landing one on stand-up tackle is a real accomplishment.
White marlin might be smaller than their blue cousins, but they make up for it with incredible aerial displays and lightning-fast runs. These fish are acrobats, often spending more time in the air than in the water during a fight. They're also more cooperative eaters, often coming in hot on teaser baits before switching to the hook bait. Most whites run 50-80 pounds, making them perfect for anglers who want the marlin experience without the back-breaking battle of a giant blue. They're also more abundant in many areas, giving you multiple shot opportunities throughout the day.
Tilefish are the deep-water specialists that most casual anglers never target, but they're absolute gems for serious fishermen. These bottom dwellers live in 300+ feet of water and can reach impressive sizes – golden tilefish over 30 pounds aren't uncommon. They're also fantastic eating, with firm white meat that rivals any offshore species. What makes them challenging is the depth and current – it takes heavy tackle and plenty of weight to get down to their neighborhood. But when you connect with a big tile in that deep water, the fight is steady and powerful, and you'll be rewarded with some of the best fish for the dinner table.
This 12-hour offshore adventure represents serious fishing at its finest – we're not messing around with half-measures or close-to-shore compromises. You'll be targeting some of the most prized gamefish in the ocean, using proven techniques in productive waters. With only 4 spots available, this trip fills up fast, especially during peak season. The combination of small group size, experienced crew, and quality equipment means you're

Thunnus ObesusBigeye tuna are deep-water powerhouses that can top 400 pounds, though most catches run 50-150 pounds. Their big eyes help them hunt in deeper, darker water than other tunas - sometimes down to 800 feet. They prefer dawn and dusk fishing when they move up to feed. These fish are pure muscle and make blistering runs that'll test your gear. The meat's incredibly valuable - fatty and rich, perfect for sashimi. Best fishing happens during low-light conditions in warm offshore waters. They follow temperature breaks and underwater structure. My go-to technique: try dark-colored lures like the Braid Bigeye Rocket in 8-10 inch sizes during twilight hours. Heavy tackle's a must - these fish don't give up easy.
Makaira NigricansBlue marlins are the heavyweight champions of billfish, with females reaching up to 1,800 pounds and 16 feet long. Males stay much smaller, rarely breaking 350 pounds. These deep-water predators cruise warm offshore waters, following temperature breaks and current edges where baitfish concentrate. Their dark blue backs and silver sides make them stunning catches, but it's their aerial displays and brute strength that hook anglers. Peak season runs during warmer months when they follow bait migrations. The meat's got high mercury, so most folks release them. Pro tip: when trolling, watch behind your spread - they'll often show up as a shadow before striking. Use heavy tackle and be ready for a fight that can last hours.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi-mahi are the acrobats of offshore fishing, famous for their brilliant gold and green colors that flash like neon when hooked. Most run 15-30 pounds, but bulls can hit 60-plus. They hang around floating debris, weed lines, and current breaks in warm water, usually in the top 100 feet. These fish grow fast and fight hard with lots of jumps and long runs. The meat's excellent - firm, white, and mild - making them perfect for the dinner table. They're available year-round in tropical waters, with peak action during summer months. Here's the trick: when you hook one, keep it in the water if possible - the school often sticks around, letting you catch multiples on the same spot.
Kajikia AlbidaWhite marlins are the smaller, scrappier cousins of blue marlins, typically running 50-180 pounds and up to 9 feet long. These billfish love deep tropical waters around underwater canyons and temperature breaks where they hunt flying fish, small tuna, and squid. They're known for spectacular jumps and that classic marlin fight - long runs mixed with aerial shows. Most anglers practice catch-and-release since they're less common than other billfish. Peak season varies by location but generally follows warm water and bait movements. When trolling with ballyhoo or rigged baits, don't watch the lure - watch the water around it. White marlins are sneaky and often appear as shadows before striking. Let them eat the bait before setting the hook.
Thunnus AlbacaresYellowfin tuna are speed demons that can hit 50 mph with their torpedo-shaped bodies and bright yellow fins. Most catches range 60-100 pounds, but they can reach 400-plus. These warm-blooded fish stay in the upper 300 feet of tropical and subtropical waters year-round. They're famous for explosive surface strikes and long, powerful runs. The meat's top-shelf - second only to bluefin for sashimi quality but much more available. They travel in schools, so finding one often means finding many. Summer's peak season, especially when baitfish are thick. Chunking with whatever they're feeding on works great. When surface fishing, nothing beats the rush of watching a yellowfin destroy a popper from nowhere.
