Ready to get your lines wet with some serious gamefish action? Captain and crew at Naughty Girl Sportfishing know exactly where the fish are holding, and they're ready to put you on some of the hottest inshore fishing around. This isn't your typical half-day trip – we're talking about targeting blue marlin, mahi-mahi, cobia, and amberjack in waters that consistently produce trophy catches. Whether you're a weekend warrior or seasoned angler, this top-rated charter delivers the kind of fishing stories you'll be telling for years. Just pack your cooler with snacks and drinks, and let the captain handle everything else.
Your day starts early with a fully rigged boat and a captain who's been working these waters for years. The Naughty Girl comes equipped with quality rods, reels, tackle, and all the gear you need to tangle with some serious fish. We're looking at a 6-angler maximum, which means plenty of elbow room and personalized attention from the crew. The boat's setup is perfect for working multiple lines, whether we're trolling for marlin and mahi or targeting structure for cobia and amberjack. You'll spend your time in productive waters where the captain knows the bottom structure, current breaks, and seasonal patterns that put fish in the boat. The atmosphere is relaxed but focused – this crew takes fishing seriously and wants to see you hook up with something memorable.
The game plan revolves around proven trolling techniques that have been putting fish in the boat season after season. We're running a spread of lures and baits designed to trigger strikes from multiple species. For the marlin and mahi, expect to see a mix of skirted trolling lures, ballyhoo rigs, and maybe some live bait when conditions are right. The captain adjusts trolling speed based on target species – slower for marlin, a bit faster when mahi are showing. When we mark cobia or amberjack around structure, the crew switches tactics to vertical jigging or live bait fishing. All rods are spooled with appropriate line weights, and the drag systems are dialed in perfectly. The boat's electronics help locate bait schools and structure, but it's the captain's local knowledge that really makes the difference in finding fish.
Blue marlin are the crown jewel of any fishing trip, and these waters hold some beautiful fish. Blues typically range from 200 to 500 pounds, with the occasional giant pushing well beyond that mark. Peak season runs through the warmer months when they're feeding heavily on the abundant baitfish. What makes marlin fishing so addictive is the explosive strike – one minute you're trolling peacefully, the next minute your reel is screaming and there's a marlin dancing on the surface. Most anglers say it's the fight of a lifetime, with long runs and spectacular jumps that test both your skill and endurance. White marlin offer a slightly different experience, typically smaller but incredibly acrobatic. They're known for their multiple jumps and unpredictable fight patterns that keep you guessing right up to the boat.
Mahi-mahi, or common dolphinfish, are customer favorites because they're aggressive feeders and absolutely beautiful fish. These guys typically run 10 to 30 pounds in these waters, with their brilliant gold and green colors that change as they fight. Mahi are schooling fish, so when you find one, there are usually more around. They're attracted to floating debris, weed lines, and structure, making them perfect targets for this type of fishing. The bite is usually strong and consistent during their peak months, and they're fantastic eating if you decide to keep a few for dinner.
Cobia are the bulldogs of the fishing world – they don't jump much, but they'll test your back muscles with their powerful, stubborn fight. These fish can reach 50 pounds or more and are known for their curious nature around boats. They often cruise near the surface, making them exciting sight-fishing targets. Cobia are structure-oriented fish that love wrecks, reefs, and channel edges. When hooked, they make powerful runs toward the bottom, using their broad body and strength to wear down anglers.
Greater amberjack round out the target species list with their reputation as tackle-busters. These fish are pure muscle, typically running 30 to 60 pounds, and they know how to use every ounce of it. Amberjack live around hard bottom, wrecks, and ledges where they ambush baitfish. Their initial run after being hooked is legendary – straight down toward structure where they try to cut you off. It's a test of angler skill and tackle quality, and landing a big amberjack is always a satisfying accomplishment.

Your fishing charter runs on a well-equipped motorboat built for serious angling adventures. This vessel comfortably handles up to 6 anglers with plenty of deck space for fighting those hard-pulling marlins and mahi-mahi. The flybridge gives you elevated views to spot fish breaking the surface, while the GPS and fish finder help locate the best bite zones. Below deck, you'll find air conditioning to cool off between catches, a kitchen for meal prep, and a head for convenience during longer trips. The onboard refrigerator keeps your catch fresh and your drinks cold. Whether you're targeting cobia near structure or chasing schools of amberjack, this boat has the power and features to get you on fish. The captain handles navigation and gear - just bring your appetite for action and maybe some snacks for the ride.
Makaira NigricansThe ultimate offshore trophy - female blues can hit 1,000+ pounds while males stay around 300. These apex predators cruise warm waters along drop-offs and underwater canyons, following baitfish like tuna and mackerel. We target them year-round in deeper waters using heavy tackle and either live ballyhoo or artificial lures trolled at speed. What makes blues special is their raw power and aerial acrobatics when hooked - they'll jump, dive, and fight for hours. The meat's firm and tasty, though watch for mercury in larger fish. Pro tip: when trolling, keep your baits skipping on the surface to mimic flying fish - that's what really gets their attention. Bring patience and strong arms - landing a "grander" is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are the chameleons of the flats - dark brown sharks-lookers that cruise solo in 30 feet or less around reefs, wrecks, and channel markers. They average 30-50 pounds but can hit 100+, living up to 12 years. Spring through fall is prime time when they're shallow and aggressive. What makes cobia fishing special is the sight-fishing aspect - you'll actually see them cruising near the surface before you cast. They're curious fish and excellent table fare with firm, white meat that tastes like a cross between shark and grouper. We use bucktail jigs, live crabs, or eels around structure. Pro tip: when you spot one, don't cast right at it - lead the fish by 10 feet and let your bait sink naturally in front of them. They're smart and spook easily if you're too aggressive.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are the most colorful fish you'll catch - brilliant gold sides with electric blue and green backs that flash like neon underwater. They average 15-30 pounds and rarely live past 4 years, but they grow fast and fight hard. Look for them around floating debris, weed lines, or any structure in warm surface waters. Spring through fall gives us the best action when they school up. What makes mahi special is their acrobatic fight and sweet, firm white meat that's perfect grilled. We troll with ballyhoo or colorful lures, making them skip on the surface to imitate flying fish. Here's the trick: when you hook one, leave it in the water while you get more lines out - mahi travel in schools and the hooked fish will keep the others around for multiple hookups.
Seriola dumeriliThese bruisers average 40 pounds but can push 60+ pounds and 6 feet long. Amberjacks love structure - wrecks, reefs, and oil rigs in 30-200 feet of water. You'll spot them by that distinctive amber stripe running down their bluish-grey sides. They're year-round fighters, but spring and fall offer the best action when they're most active. What guests love is their bulldogging fight - they'll dive straight for the bottom and test your drag system hard. The meat's excellent eating, firm and white like grouper. We use heavy tackle with 50+ pound line since they're not shy about breaking you off in the structure. My tip: drop a bucktail jig or live bait right to the bottom, then work it just off the structure. When one hits, muscle it up fast or it'll cut you off on the reef.
Kajikia AlbidaWhite marlin are the smaller cousins of blues, topping out around 180 pounds and 9 feet, but they're just as acrobatic and twice as numerous. These billfish love deep water along canyon edges and temperature breaks where baitfish concentrate. Peak season runs spring through fall in temperate waters. What sets whites apart is their incredible jumping ability - they'll spend more time airborne than in the water during a fight. The meat's excellent, and they're a prized gamefish for their speed and stamina. We troll dead ballyhoo rigged on circle hooks or small lures at 6-8 knots. Key tip: watch behind your baits, not at them - whites are sneaky and will appear out of nowhere to slash at your offering. When one hits, resist the urge to set the hook immediately; let them eat the bait before engaging the drag.
