12-Hour Private Offshore Big Game Fishing
When you're ready to chase the big ones way out beyond the shelf, this 12-hour private offshore trip with My Boys Fishing Charters puts you right where the action happens. We're talking serious blue water fishing here – the kind where your drag screams and your arms burn fighting fish that can weigh more than you do. Captain Daniel and his crew know these waters like the back of their hand, and they'll put you on the pelagic species that make offshore fishing so addictive. With room for up to 4 anglers, this is your chance to experience world-class big game fishing without the crowds of a party boat.
What to Expect on the Water
This isn't your typical half-day trip to the local reefs. We're heading way offshore where the continental shelf drops into the deep blue, and that's where the monsters live. You'll be running anywhere from 20 to 50+ miles out, depending on where the fish are showing up and what the conditions look like. The boat is rigged with top-shelf electronics including fish finders, GPS, and we just added Starlink internet so you can stay connected even when you're miles from shore – perfect for sharing those hero shots in real time. The charter includes your fishing license, so all you need to bring is your appetite for big fish. We've got all the heavy tackle you'll need, from 50 to 80-pound class rods and reels that can handle whatever decides to eat your bait. The boat is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for a serious offshore fishing adventure.
Trolling Tactics & Heavy Tackle
Out here in the deep water, we're primarily trolling with a spread of lures and rigged baits designed to attract pelagic predators. We'll run a combination of large swimming plugs, skirted trolling lures, and rigged ballyhoo or other baitfish depending on what's been producing. The captain adjusts trolling speed based on conditions and target species – sometimes we're pulling lures at 6-8 knots for tuna and mahi, other times we might slow it down or speed it up depending on what we're after. When we mark fish or structure on the electronics, we might switch to live bait fishing or vertical jigging. The tackle is serious business – we're talking 50W to 80W reels loaded with heavy braid and fluorocarbon leaders that can handle the teeth and speed of offshore predators. Circle hooks are standard for conservation, and the crew will coach you through proper fighting techniques to land fish efficiently while keeping both you and the fish safe.

Species You'll Want to Hook
Large pelagic species are the stars of the offshore show, and these waters hold some serious players. Yellowfin tuna are pound-for-pound some of the strongest fish in the ocean, often ranging from 20 to over 100 pounds in offshore waters. They're most active during dawn and dusk periods but can be caught throughout the day when you find the right water conditions and baitfish concentrations. These fish test your endurance with long, powerful runs and their ability to sound deep when hooked. Mahi-mahi are another customer favorite, known for their spectacular aerial displays and beautiful colors that light up when they're fighting. They typically range from 10 to 30 pounds, with occasional bulls pushing 40+ pounds, and they're often found around floating debris, weed lines, or temperature breaks in 100+ feet of water.
Billfish encounters add an extra level of excitement to any offshore trip. White marlin, sailfish, and the occasional blue marlin patrol these deep waters, especially during warmer months. These apex predators can show up anywhere from 100 to 1000+ pounds, and even a smaller sailfish or white marlin will give you a fight you'll never forget with their speed and acrobatic jumps. Wahoo are the speed demons of the offshore world, capable of runs that will melt drag washers if you're not ready for them. They typically range from 20 to 60 pounds and are known for their razor-sharp teeth and lightning-fast strikes on high-speed trolled lures.
