Inshore Fishing
9hour inshore trip targeting Mahi and bottom fishSmall group experience with maximum 4 guests aboardCombines fast pelagic action with steady bottom fishing
Looking for a solid day on the water without burning a hole in your wallet on fuel costs? This 9-hour inshore adventure with MobSquad fishing delivers exactly what serious anglers want—variety, action, and fish in the cooler. We stay within that sweet 30-mile zone where the fishing is hot but the ride isn't brutal. You'll start your morning chasing screaming Mahi that'll test your drag system, then shift gears to methodical bottom fishing for those table-fare favorites like Seabass and Flounder. With space for just 4 anglers, you're not fighting crowds for rod space or competing with a dozen other people for the captain's attention.
This trip runs like clockwork—we hit the water early and make every hour count. The first part of your day focuses on pelagic action, targeting those electric-colored Mahi that show up around structure and debris lines. These fish don't mess around, and when they're feeding, the action comes fast and furious. After we've had our fill of that adrenaline rush, we transition to bottom fishing over productive reefs and ledges. This is where patience pays off, and you'll work different techniques to coax up Seabass and Flounder from their hiding spots. The beauty of this mixed-bag approach means you're never stuck doing just one thing all day—when the surface bite dies, we're already moving to Plan B.
We run a versatile setup that handles both fishing styles without missing a beat. For the Mahi portion, expect medium-heavy spinning tackle with bright jigs and live bait when we can get it. These fish are visual hunters, so presentation matters—sometimes a fast retrieve gets them fired up, other times a slow flutter does the trick. When we switch to bottom fishing, we're talking conventional reels spooled with enough line to reach those 60-80 foot depths where the good stuff lives. Circle hooks and fresh bait keep things simple but effective. The crew knows these waters and will put you on the right gear for whatever we're targeting. Don't worry about bringing your own tackle—everything's provided and rigged properly.
"It's tough to fit all the praise into one review, but this crew was absolutely fantastic! Our group included a seasoned angler, two kids with some experience, and one on their very first fishing trip. The captain and crew were incredibly patient and made sure the kids had an amazing time. We caught a ton of fish and created unforgettable memories. We're already looking forward to our next trip with them—easily a 10-star experience!" - Jason
Mahi Mahi are the stars of the first half of your trip, and for good reason. These bulls average 10-20 pounds inshore, with the occasional cow pushing 30-plus. They're most active during warmer months when water temps climb above 70 degrees, though we see them year-round in this zone. What makes Mahi special isn't just their spectacular colors—it's their fighting style. They'll make blazing runs, jump clear of the water, and generally act like fish twice their size. Plus, they school up, so when you find one, there are usually more around. The meat is outstanding too—firm, white, and perfect for the grill.
Southern Flounder represent the technical side of this trip. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, lying buried in sandy bottom waiting for an easy meal to drift by. They're most active during cooler months, with fall being prime time when they're fattening up before their offshore spawn. A quality Flounder runs 3-8 pounds, with doormat-sized fish over 5 pounds being the ones you'll remember. They require finesse—light tackle, natural baits, and the patience to let them fully commit before setting the hook. When you feel that distinctive tap-tap-pull, resist the urge to jerk. These fish are notorious for short strikes.
Sea Bass round out the trio and they're the most reliable producers on this trip. These chunky bottom dwellers love structure and aren't shy about biting when presented with fresh bait. They typically run 1-3 pounds, with bigger ones pushing 5-6 pounds around deeper reefs. Sea Bass are most cooperative during spring and fall when they're actively feeding, but you can count on them year-round. They're scrappy fighters for their size and absolutely excellent on the table—sweet, flaky meat that's hard to beat. The limit is generous, so you can actually bring home enough for a proper fish fry.
Nine hours of guided fishing for just 4 people means you're getting personalized attention and room to actually fish comfortably. No meals are included, so pack a cooler with lunch and plenty of water—trust me, you'll work up an appetite. The MobSquad crew has built their reputation on putting clients on fish while keeping the experience relaxed and fun. Whether you're the veteran angler in your group or the first-timer, they'll adjust their approach to make sure everyone has a successful day. With inshore fishing this consistent and a crew this dialed in, your biggest problem will be deciding when to book your next trip.

An icebox and refrigerator keep your catch fresh and drinks cold. The multimedia system and TV provide entertainment between fishing spots. Whether you're battling hard-fighting Mahi or dropping lines for Seabass and Flounder, this boat handles inshore waters with ease. Perfect for up to 4 anglers looking to mix fast pelagic action with steady bottom fishing within 30 miles of shore.
Coryphaena HippurusThese vibrant fighters are what dreams are made of - brilliant gold sides with electric blue and green flashes that put on a light show when they come out of the water. Running 15-29 pounds on average, they're fast swimmers that love chasing our trolled baits near floating debris and weed lines. The males have that distinctive bulldozer forehead while females stay more rounded. What makes them special? That initial run will test your drag, and the meat is absolutely perfect - firm, white, and mild like a cross between swordfish and tuna. Spring through fall gives us our best action when the water warms up. Pro tip: keep your bait skipping on the surface like a flying fish - mahi can't resist that action and will often come up in pairs or small schools.
Centropristis StriataBlack sea bass are reliable bottom dwellers that school up around hard structure - wrecks, jetties, and rocky reefs from Massachusetts down to Florida. These chunky fighters average about a foot long and 9 pounds, with that classic black coloring and gray belly. They're aggressive feeders with mouths full of sharp teeth, going after anything from crabs and shrimp to small baitfish. January through July is spawning season when they're most active, but we catch them year-round. Guests appreciate their consistent bite and excellent table fare - the white, flaky meat is restaurant quality. They travel in schools, so when you find one, there's usually more down there. My go-to move is dropping squid strips or clam on a simple bottom rig, but soft plastics work great too when they're being picky.
Paralichthys LethostigmaThese masters of disguise are flatfish that'll fool you every time - both eyes on the left side and they bury themselves in sand waiting to ambush prey. Most run 15-18 inches and around 5 pounds, though we've seen doormat 20-pounders that'll surprise you. They hang out on sandy, muddy bottoms in shallow coastal waters, estuaries, and around structure. Fall and winter are prime time when they're feeding heavy before moving offshore. What guests love is the challenge of reading bottom structure and that solid thump when they grab your bait. Plus, they're fantastic eating - sweet, flaky white meat that's hard to beat. The trick is using just enough weight to stay on bottom while drifting, and don't set the hook too quick - let them take it and swim off first.
