So grab your hat and sunscreen - it's time to see what's biting in the big blue!

What's the Deal Out There?

Picture this: You're cruising out of Port Orange, leaving the shoreline behind as we point the bow towards the open Atlantic. The anticipation builds as we near our fishing grounds, carefully selected spots where the big boys like to hang out. Once we're in position, it's all hands on deck as we drop our lines and wait for that telltale thump. And when it hits? Hold on tight! These offshore bruisers don't give up easy, and that's half the fun. Our experienced crew will be right there with you, offering tips and making sure you're set up for success. Whether you're hauling up a chunky snapper or locked in an epic battle with a stubborn grouper, every minute is packed with potential for that "fish of a lifetime" story.

Rigging Up for the Deep

On this trip, we're all about bottom fishing - that means we're targeting the structure and reefs where the big fish love to hide. We'll set you up with heavy-duty conventional reels spooled with strong line, because when you're fishing this deep, you need gear that can take a beating. The go-to rig? A classic fish finder setup with a hefty sinker to get your bait down where the action is. We'll be using fresh cut bait or live pinfish to entice those bottom-dwellers. And here's a pro tip: when you feel that bite, reel fast and hard to get that fish's head turned before it can duck back into its rocky lair. It's a game of quick reflexes and raw power, and trust me, there's nothing quite like the rush of winning that first run against a big offshore fighter.

Species You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel: These speedsters are the drag-screamers of the offshore world. Known as "kings" for good reason, they can hit 50 pounds and put on a show like no other. Spring through fall is prime time for kings, and they love to chase fast-moving baits. When a king skyrockets on your bait, hold on tight - the first run is explosive!

Grey Triggerfish: Don't let their small size fool you; triggerfish are pound-for-pound some of the toughest fighters out there. With their tough, leathery mouths and tenacious attitude, they're a blast to catch on light tackle. Look for them around reefs and wrecks year-round, but they're especially active in the warmer months. And bonus - they make for some mighty fine eating!

Great Barracuda: The toothy terrors of the reef, 'cudas are all business. With their menacing grins and lightning-fast strikes, hooking into one of these is like trying to land a torpedo. They're around all year, but summer sees them at their most aggressive. Watching a barracuda slash through a school of bait is a sight you won't soon forget.

Cobia: Often called "crab eaters," cobia are the bulldogs of the sea. These brown battlers can top 100 pounds and are known for their strong runs and acrobatic jumps. Spring and early summer are your best bet for cobia, especially when they follow big rays or sharks. Landing a big cobe is a true offshore achievement.

Red Snapper: The crown jewel of the Gulf, red snapper are prized for both their fight and their flavor. These ruby-red beauties hang out near bottom structure and can grow to hefty sizes. The season is tightly regulated, but when it's open, it's game on! There's nothing quite like the feeling of bringing up a big red from the depths - it's like hauling up a bar of gold.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running charters out of Port Orange for years, and I'll tell you this - there's something special about our stretch of the Atlantic. Maybe it's the way the Gulf Stream swings in close, bringing with it a smorgasbord of baitfish and predators. Or maybe it's just the thrill of never knowing what might be on the end of your line next. Whatever it is, I've seen first-timers turn into fishing addicts after just one trip. And the old salts? They keep coming back because they know the potential for that "fish of a lifetime" is always there. Plus, with our 4-hour trip, you get a solid taste of the action without burning a whole day.
