This isn't your typical tourist fishing trip - we're talking real fishing in waters that produce. You'll launch from Trinidad's coast and head to proven inshore grounds where pelagics cruise the drop-offs and structure. The captain knows these waters like his backyard, reading currents and bait movement to put you on fish fast. Two hours might sound short, but when you're fishing productive water with someone who knows where the fish live, it's plenty of time to fill the cooler. The boat handles beautifully in Trinidad's conditions, giving you a stable platform whether you're fighting a wahoo screaming drag or working a stubborn jack off the bottom. Weather permitting, you'll cover multiple spots to maximize your chances, adjusting tactics based on what the fish are telling us.
We run a mix of trolling and live bait fishing depending on what's working best. Trolling lets us cover water fast, pulling lures through the zones where mahi and wahoo hunt. You'll see the captain set lines at different depths and speeds, reading the fish finder and adjusting based on water temperature and current. When we mark fish or find feeding birds, we'll switch to live bait or casting lures to working fish. All tackle is provided - we're talking quality rods and reels that can handle these Caribbean fighters, not the cheap stuff that falls apart when a wahoo takes off. Circle hooks keep everything legal and help with catch and release if that's your preference. The captain will coach you through the fight, teaching proper technique for different species while making sure you get the full experience of battling these powerful fish.
Mahi mahi are the crowd favorites around Trinidad's waters, and for good reason. These bulls put on an aerial show that'll get your heart pumping, jumping clear out of the water multiple times during the fight. They typically run 10-25 pounds in these waters, with the occasional monster pushing 40. Best action happens when water temperatures hit the sweet spot, usually mid-morning through afternoon when they're actively feeding on flying fish and small tunas. What makes mahi special is their aggressive nature - they'll slam trolled lures, chase live baits, and even compete with each other around the boat. Plus, they're excellent eating if you want to take a few home for dinner.
Wahoo are the speed demons of the Caribbean, capable of blistering runs that'll test your drag system and your arms. These silver bullets average 20-30 pounds but can easily push 50-plus in Trinidad's waters. They're ambush predators, hanging around structure and drop-offs waiting to slash into bait schools. When a wahoo hits your trolled lure, there's no mistaking it - the line screams off the reel in a run that can peel off 200 yards before you know what happened. They're notorious for their razor-sharp teeth, so we use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs. The fight is typically one or two long runs followed by a stubborn battle to the boat. Their firm, white meat makes them highly prized at the dinner table.
Crevalle jack bring the muscle to this fishing party. Don't let their smaller average size fool you - pound for pound, these fish fight harder than almost anything in the ocean. They school up around structure and current lines, feeding aggressively on small baitfish. When you hook into a jack, expect a bulldogging fight with powerful runs and head shakes that'll make your arms burn. They're perfect for testing your drag system and fighting technique. Jack typically range 5-15 pounds in these waters, but their broad shoulders and never-give-up attitude make them feel twice their size. They're year-round residents, so you can count on finding them almost any trip. While not the prettiest fish, they're scrappy fighters that'll give you respect for their tenacity.

Caranx HipposTough fighters that never give up, crevalle jacks are the bulldogs of our inshore waters. These brassy-colored bruisers typically run 3-5 pounds but can push 20+ pounds when you find the big ones. They patrol shallow flats, around structure, and anywhere baitfish gather. Year-round fishing here, but they really school up heavy during baitfish runs. What guests love is the pure power - pound for pound, few fish fight harder. They're aggressive hunters that'll hit almost anything you throw. Watch for diving birds - that's your best sign of feeding jacks pushing bait to the surface. Here's the secret: cast past the school and rip your lure back through fast. They can't resist the chase. Silver spoons work great, but any flashy lure retrieved quickly will do the trick.
Coryphaena HippurusThese golden beauties put on quite a show with their brilliant colors and acrobatic fights. Around Trinidad's waters, you'll find them averaging 15-29 pounds, though they can reach much larger sizes. They love hanging around floating debris and current edges where they hunt flying fish and other baitfish. The color changes when they come out of the water are something special - flashing from gold and electric blue to silver. Peak season runs through our warmer months when they're most active. What makes them special is the combination of strong runs, jumps, and excellent table fare - mild, sweet meat that's perfect for grilling. Pro tip: when you spot one, there's usually more nearby, so get your second rod ready fast.
Acanthocybium SolandriSpeed demons of the deep, wahoo are built for one thing - going fast. These sleek silver bullets can hit 60 mph and typically run 3-5 feet long in our waters. They cruise the open blue water and around floating structures, usually in the top 60 feet. We see good action year-round, but they really turn on during cooler months. What draws anglers is that blistering first run - nothing quite like it. Plus, the meat is top-shelf eating, white and flaky with a delicate taste. Their razor-sharp teeth will slice through regular line like butter, so we always use wire leaders when targeting them. Key trick: troll fast, around 12-15 knots with bright lures that mimic small tuna or mackerel. When one hits, hold on tight.
