What to Expect on the Water

Our vessel is dialed in for both comfort and performance, so you can focus on the fish instead of worrying about your sea legs. We provide all the quality rods, reels, bait, and tackle you'll need - just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat. As we cruise to the prime spots, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine life that call these waters home. When we hit the fishing grounds, it's go time. Your captain will give you the lowdown on technique, and before you know it, you'll be feeling that telltale tug on your line.

Fishing Know-How & Hotspots

We've got a few tricks up our sleeve to put you on the fish. Depending on the day and what's biting, we might do some drift fishing over reefs, troll along weedlines, or anchor up on a productive wreck. Bottom fishing with live bait is a local favorite for snapper and grouper, while casting lures or fly fishing can be deadly for mackerel and other surface feeders. Don't sweat it if you're new to this - our crew is always happy to show you the ropes. We'll hit up spots known for consistent action, from nearshore reefs to deeper offshore waters. The beauty of fishing here is the variety - one minute you could be wrestling a hard-fighting snapper, the next you might have a toothy barracuda on the line.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi (Common Dolphinfish): These acrobatic beauties are a favorite among anglers for good reason. Known for their stunning blue-green and gold colors, mahi mahi are fast swimmers that put up an epic fight. They're most active in the warmer months and love to hang around floating debris or weedlines. When you hook one, be ready for some serious jumps and runs. The best part? They're delicious on the grill.

Hogfish: Don't let the name fool you - these tasty bottom-dwellers are prized catches. With their distinctive pig-like snout, hogfish are masters of camouflage and tend to hang around rocky areas and reefs. They're not the biggest fighters, but their sweet, flaky meat makes them a top target for many local anglers. Spring and fall are prime times to bag a hogfish.

Great Barracuda: If you're after a fish with some serious attitude, look no further than the great barracuda. These toothy predators are lightning-fast and known for their aggressive strikes. You'll often spot them lurking around reefs or following our boat. While they're not the best for eating, the sheer thrill of battling a 'cuda makes them a blast to catch and release.

Gag Grouper: These bruisers are the heavyweights of the reef. Gag grouper love to hunker down in rocky areas and wrecks, and they put up one heck of a fight when hooked. They're most active in cooler months, making them a great target for winter fishing trips. Landing a big gag is always a highlight - and they make for some mighty fine fish tacos.

Scamp Grouper: Smaller than their gag cousins but just as tasty, scamp grouper are another prized catch in these waters. They tend to hang in slightly deeper water and around ledges. Scamp are known for their initial burst of speed when hooked, followed by a dogged battle all the way to the boat. They're available year-round, but seem to be most aggressive in the spring and fall.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish - though that's a big part of it. Our trips offer that perfect mix of action and relaxation that keeps folks coming back for more. There's something special about being out on the water, watching the skyline of West Palm Beach fade into the distance as you leave your worries on shore. Whether you're reeling in your personal best or just enjoying the company of friends and family, these fishing trips create memories that last a lifetime. And let's be real - there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of serving up a fresh-caught dinner at the end of the day.

Learn more about the species

Gag Grouper

Gag grouper are hard-fighting bottom dwellers that'll test your arms and your gear. These bruisers average 10-20 pounds but can top 50. You'll find them hanging around rocky bottoms, reefs, and wrecks in 60-250 feet of water. They're most active in cooler months when they move closer to shore to spawn. Gags are ambush predators, so we drop large live baits like pinfish or grunt right into their lairs. Once hooked, they'll try to bull their way back into the rocks. The key is to crank hard and fast to turn their heads. Electric reels can help in deep water. Gag grouper make excellent table fare with firm, white meat. Just remember to vent them if you're fishing deep - their air bladders expand as you bring them up. These fish put up a heck of a fight and taste great, so they're always a popular target.

Great Barracuda

Barracuda are the speedsters of the reef, capable of short bursts up to 35 mph. These toothy predators typically run 2-4 feet long but can reach over 6 feet and 100 pounds. You'll find them prowling the edges of reefs and shipwrecks, often in fairly shallow water. They're aggressive and curious, sometimes following divers or boats. Barracuda hit lures and live bait with explosive strikes, making for an exciting fight on light tackle. Be careful when landing them though - those razor-sharp teeth are no joke. We usually catch and release barracuda, as their meat can carry ciguatera toxin in some areas. For the best action, try trolling shiny lures or drifting live bait near structure. Just be ready to set the hook fast when they hit - barracuda don't mess around!

Hogfish

Hogfish are a prized catch around here, both for the challenge and their sweet, flaky meat. These oddball-looking fish hang out on reefs and rocky bottoms in 30-100 feet of water. Most run 2-5 pounds, but some giants top 20. Spring and fall are prime seasons when water temps are just right. Hogfish are notoriously picky eaters, so we use light tackle and small hooks baited with live shrimp or crabs. The real trick is detecting their subtle bite - they'll suck in your bait without much movement. Once hooked though, they put up a scrappy fight. Spearfishing is another popular way to target them. Keep an eye out for their distinctive pig-like snout as they root around the bottom. Just watch those canine teeth when you're handling them - they pack a punch!

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi are a popular target here, known for their vibrant colors and acrobatic fights. These speedy fish typically run 15-30 pounds, though some monsters top 80. Look for them near floating debris or weedlines, especially in warmer months. They're suckers for trolled ballyhoo or artificial lures that skip across the surface. Mahi travel in schools, so when you hook one, keep it in the water to attract others. The meat is excellent - mild and sweet. For the best action, we'll run offshore and scan for frigate birds working the water. That's often a dead giveaway for Mahi feeding below. Once we find them, be ready for explosive strikes and airborne battles. Just remember to reel fast and keep tension - these guys are known for throwing hooks mid-jump.

Scamp Grouper

Scamp are some of the best-eating fish in the grouper family, with sweet, flaky white meat. They're typically smaller than other groupers, averaging 4-8 pounds, though some monsters push 30. You'll find scamp on rocky bottoms and reefs in 100-300 feet of water, often mixed in with other grouper species. They're most active in spring and fall as water temps change. We target them with live bait like pinfish or squid, fished right on the bottom. Scamp are strong fighters for their size, trying to dive back into the rocks once hooked. The key is using stout tackle and reeling fast to get their heads turned. Circle hooks are a must to avoid gut-hooking these deep-water fish. For the freshest fillets, bleed and ice your catch immediately. Scamp aren't as common as other groupers, so landing a nice one always feels like a special treat.
