Get ready to feel that rod bend and your heart race as you battle some of the ocean's most exciting fish just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Our half-day offshore charter takes you straight to where the action is, targeting trophy-sized gag grouper, lightning-fast barracuda, and a whole lot more. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, our expert crew will make sure you're in for a day of non-stop fishing excitement.
As soon as we clear the inlet, you'll feel the anticipation build. We're talking about heading to some of the most productive fishing grounds in South Florida, where the Gulf Stream brings in a smorgasbord of gamefish. Our captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, and they'll put you right on top of the fish. You'll be using top-of-the-line gear, rigged and ready for whatever decides to bite. From the moment you drop your bait, be ready – these fish don't mess around, and neither do we when it comes to putting our clients on the fish.
We don't just drift around hoping for a bite. Our crew is all about active fishing. We'll be deploying a mix of techniques to target different species. For those grouper, we might be dropping live bait to the bottom or jigging. When we're after barracuda, get ready for some high-speed trolling that'll have you hanging on tight. And if the mahi are running, we'll be on the lookout for floating debris and birds – telltale signs that it's time to break out the light tackle and have some fun. The variety keeps things interesting, and you never know what might decide to crash the party on any given day.
"Chris Winters was the captain for our trip. We were all beginners or first timers, with my son's family. All of our needs and wishes were accommodated with ease. Chris made us all comfortable for fast and slow portions of the trip. We caught a mahi tuna we had to give back and then some fish that were used as bait to feed the sharks! Very exciting and fun. Wouldn't hesitate to use Glass Action again or recommend to others !" - Larry

Mahi Mahi, or Common Dolphinfish, are the acrobats of the offshore world. These guys are known for their spectacular aerial displays once hooked, and their vibrant colors make for amazing photos. They travel in schools, so when you find one, you've often found many. Spring and summer are prime time for mahi, and they can grow up to 30 pounds in our waters. The fight is only half the fun – mahi are also excellent eating fish, known for their mild, sweet flavor.
Hogfish might not look like much, but they're a prized catch for those in the know. These oddly-shaped fish are masters of camouflage, blending in with the reef. They're typically caught while bottom fishing, and it takes a bit of finesse to get them to bite. The real treat comes when it's time for dinner – hogfish are considered one of the best-tasting fish in the sea, with a delicate, sweet flavor that's hard to beat.
The Great Barracuda is the speed demon of the reef. These toothy predators can reach speeds of up to 35 mph when chasing prey. They're known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs that'll test your gear and your skills. While they're found year-round, the bigger ones tend to show up in the cooler months. Barracuda can grow to over 5 feet long, and hooking into one of these monsters is an experience you won't forget.
Gag Grouper are the heavyweights of the bottom-dwelling world. These bruisers can grow up to 50 pounds and are known for their powerful first run – once hooked, they'll try to dive back into their rocky lairs. It's a true test of strength and technique to turn their heads and get them to the boat. The cooler months are best for targeting gags, and there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of winning the tug-of-war with one of these giants.
Scamp Grouper might be smaller than their gag cousins, but they make up for it in flavor. These fish are highly sought after for their sweet, delicate meat. They tend to hang out in deeper waters, so targeting them often means using electric reels or deep-dropping techniques. Scamp are available year-round, but like many grouper species, they're at their most active in the cooler months. Landing a scamp is always a cause for celebration on board.
Listen, the fish are out there waiting, and our calendar is filling up fast. Whether you're looking to put some meat in the cooler or just want to experience the thrill of battling big game fish, this is your chance. Our half-day trips are perfect for getting a taste of what West Palm Beach offshore fishing is all about without taking up your whole day. We provide everything you need – just bring your sense of adventure and maybe a cooler for your catch. Don't let another season go by wishing you were out on the water. Book your spot now, and let's make some fishing memories that'll have you coming back for more. The bite is on, and we're ready when you are!

Gag grouper are hard-fighting bottom dwellers, averaging around 20 inches but can reach up to 5 feet and 80 pounds. You'll find them near rocky structures, reefs, and shipwrecks in depths from 60 to 250 feet. Fall is prime time as they move to shallower waters to spawn. Anglers target gags for their tough fights and excellent table fare. They're ambush predators, so we'll drop live bait like pinfish or mullet near structure. Here's a local secret: look for stone crab traps - gags love hanging around them. When you hook one, get ready to pull hard. These fish will try to dive back into their holes, so keep your rod low and reel fast. The fight is half the fun with gags.

Great barracuda are the speedsters of the reef, reaching up to 6 feet and over 100 pounds. You'll spot them near the surface around coral reefs, mangroves, and sometimes in open water. They're most active in warmer months. Barracuda are ambush predators, so we'll look for them lurking around structure. Anglers love targeting them for their explosive strikes and powerful runs. They'll hit just about anything shiny, so we use tube lures or spoons. Watch out for those teeth though - they're no joke. Here's a tip: when a barracuda follows your bait, speed up your retrieve. That sudden burst often triggers them to strike. Just be prepared for a jump and maybe a boat-side acrobatic show when you hook one.

Hogfish are a unique target, growing up to 3 feet and 22 pounds. You'll find them around coral reefs and rocky bottoms in 10-100 feet of water. They use their pig-like snouts to root through the sand for crustaceans and mollusks. Spring and summer are best for hogfish, when they're most active. Anglers prize them for their sweet, mild flavor - some say it's better than grouper. Spearfishing is popular, but we can also catch them on hook and line. Use live shrimp or crab on a light tackle setup. Here's a local trick: make some noise underwater. Hogfish are curious and might come check out the commotion. Just be ready for a quick strike - they're fast biters.

Mahi Mahi are a colorful, fast-swimming fish that'll give you a run for your money. They typically range from 15-29 pounds but can get up to 87 pounds. You'll find them near the surface around floating debris or weed lines. Spring and summer are prime seasons, as they follow warm currents. Anglers love Mahi for their acrobatic fights and delicious meat. They're opportunistic feeders, so we'll troll with ballyhoo or squid to mimic their favorite prey. Keep an eye out for frigate birds - they'll often lead you right to a school of Mahi. When you hook one, get ready for some spectacular aerial displays. Pro tip: have a pitch bait ready, as Mahi often travel in groups and you might land multiple fish from one stop.

Scamp grouper are a prized catch, typically 2-3 feet long and 4-6 pounds. You'll find them in deeper waters, usually 75-300 feet, around rocky bottoms, ledges, and wrecks. Spring is prime time as they move shallower to spawn. Anglers love scamp for their fight and flavor - many consider them the best-tasting grouper. They're ambush predators, so we'll use live bait like pinfish or sardines. Drop your line right near the structure and be ready for a strong pull. Here's a tip: if you're in shallower water, try lighter tackle for a more natural presentation. Scamp can be a bit skittish. When you hook one, be prepared for a battle. They're not fast, but they're strong and will try to dive back to their hole.
