Looking for a fishing trip that'll have you talking for months? Our 8-hour offshore charter puts you right in the action, targeting some of the most exciting fish swimming in New Jersey waters. We're talking about a full day chase for Mahi Mahi, those brilliant gold and green speedsters that'll test your skills and give you a fight worth bragging about. Our brand new 39-foot Front Runner center console is built for comfort and performance, featuring seakeeper stabilization that keeps you steady even when the seas get a little bumpy. With room for up to 6 anglers, this is the perfect setup for your crew to spread out, work different techniques, and help each other land fish of a lifetime. We'll cruise 15-30 miles offshore where the water turns that deep blue and the real fishing begins.
Your day starts early because that's when the fish are most active and the conditions are typically at their best. We'll head out from our New Jersey port and make the run offshore, keeping our eyes peeled for signs of life - birds working, debris lines, and temperature breaks where baitfish congregate. The Front Runner handles the open ocean like a dream, and with seakeeper technology keeping us stable, you'll be comfortable whether you're fighting a fish or just enjoying the ride. The boat's spacious layout means everyone gets their own space to work, and the center console design gives our captain clear sightlines to spot fish and navigate safely. We'll be switching between light tackle setups depending on what we're seeing out there, and our crew will help you get dialed in with the right technique for the conditions. The beauty of an 8-hour trip is we have time to move around, try different spots, and really put in the effort to find active fish.
We're running a mix of bait and artificial lures because Mahi Mahi can be picky depending on their mood and the conditions. On the artificial side, we'll have you working everything from colorful trolling lures to jigs and poppers when we find fish busting on the surface. The light tackle approach makes every hookup more exciting - you'll feel every headshake and jump these fish are famous for. When we're trolling, we'll spread lines at different depths and distances, covering water efficiently while we search for schools. Bait fishing comes into play when we mark fish on the finder or spot them around floating debris. Live bait or fresh cut bait fished near structure or weed lines can be absolutely deadly. Our tackle is top-rated gear that can handle the fight but still gives you that sporting experience. The captain and crew know these waters inside and out, so we're constantly reading conditions, adjusting our approach, and putting you on fish using whatever technique is working best that day.
Mahi Mahi, also known as Common Dolphinfish, are hands down one of the most exciting species you can target in New Jersey offshore waters. These fish are absolute speed demons, capable of hitting 50+ mph when they're running, and they're famous for their acrobatic fights that'll have you scrambling for the camera. What makes them so special is their aggressive feeding behavior - when you find one Mahi, there's usually a school nearby, and they'll often stay fired up and competitive if you keep fish in the water. They're typically in our area from late spring through fall, with peak action during the warmer months when water temperatures hit that sweet spot. Size-wise, you're looking at fish ranging from smaller schoolies around 10-15 pounds up to larger bulls that can push 30+ pounds. The bigger fish are usually more solitary and incredibly strong. Mahi Mahi are also gorgeous fish - that brilliant gold and electric blue coloration is something you've got to see in person. They're excellent eating too, with firm white meat that's perfect for the grill. The best part about targeting them is their willingness to hit both baits and lures, so whether you prefer the excitement of watching a fish crush a surface plug or the anticipation of a live bait getting picked up, these fish deliver.

The 6-person capacity keeps the boat from feeling crowded while still letting you bring your whole crew along for the adventure. Remember, we're heading 15-30 miles offshore, so dress in layers and bring sun protection - the ocean can be unpredictable. Most importantly, come ready to have some serious fun and maybe land the fish of a lifetime. These Mahi Mahi won't catch themselves, so grab your spot and let's go make some memories on the water.
